hair!!
i shower once every 3-4 days unless I'm really gross or just need to decompress :)
first I make sure my hair is brushed before I get in, this makes it easier to brush during and after
wet hair fully, rub shampoo all the way through.
put conditioner in my hands, and rub it into the length of my hair. i don't condition my bangs or roots, so usually just anywhere that hangs under my chin. most important is to not condition your roots!
once conditioner is in I brush it a bit to make sure its all on there. let it sit without rinsing while you wash your body
rinse in the water then squeeze as much water out as you can, brush, then sweeze, then repeat. i usually do this in the water (but none on my hair) cus I'd get cold otherwise lol
once its dry enough youre done, dont blow dry! especially if your hair is thin
ive heard dry shampoo can help if it gets greasy on day 2/3 but have never used it so dyor :)
