I don't necessarily mean more maintenance as in more washing/conditioning. I mean that you have to more carefully consider what your hair needs. You actually need to wash your hair more often with short hair since the grease has less room to spread out. When I was growing my hair out, I knew I didn't want to look like the long-haired metal-head with a big frizzy mess. I gradually started washing it less and conditioning it more. Now I don't condition but I oil it after washing. That seems to keep the split ends at bay and give some nice locks without too much greasiness. If I still washed it every time I showered like I did with short hair, it would look like brittle shit.
Yes this is true. You still have to do the maintenance. I do have to brush it twice a day, and the lady taught me the virtue of brushing it from the bottom up so I got that going for me. My hair is the longest it's been since I started brushing it correctly 😅
👀 brushing from the bottom up, you say.
This is a thing i learned having girl kids. They still mean you brush away from your scalp, but start at the bottom.
Go a few inches up from the tip and brush down. When thats done, move up again, repeat.
This gets the knots out of your hair instead of pushing them down then giving you a massive rats nest at the tip of your hair. It really does make the process so much easier and my kids complain so much less
That makes so much sense I'm mad I didn't think of it first. I'm so used to brushing a juicy knot into my hair and picking it apart for a minute.
Good way to avoid getting bit by your dog too
