Wash Day Routine For All Hair Types

Wash day routine for all hair types — it's an essential self-care ritual that keeps your hair healthy, hydrated, and beautiful. Whether you're a natural hair enthusiast or just looking to improve your hair care routine, this guide will help you make the most of your wash day with our Glow Luxe products.

Preparing for Wash Day

Before you begin, gather all your essentials. Some people find it helpful to gently pre-detangle before shampooing, while others prefer to detangle with conditioner and slip. Do what works best for your hair — whichever approach you choose, handle your hair gently and work from the ends upward to minimize breakage.

The Washing Process

Start by thoroughly wetting your hair with warm water. Apply shampoo to your scalp and gently massage in circular motions to help remove buildup and support a clean, healthy scalp environment. Rinse thoroughly.

Deep Conditioning is Key

After shampooing, apply your deep conditioner according to the product directions, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Depending on the conditioner, you may cover your hair with a plastic cap and use gentle heat if recommended. Follow the product's suggested processing time for the best results.

Detangling with Care

While your hair is saturated with conditioner, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle from ends to roots. This is when your hair is most pliable and easier to work with.

Nourish with Growth Serums

After cleansing and conditioning, the Glow Luxe Hair Growth Serum or Glow Luxe Strengthening Hair Growth Serum (Batana Oil) can be applied to the scalp as part of a consistent scalp and hair-care routine.

Lock in Moisture

After rinsing, apply a water-based leave-in conditioner to damp hair first — water and water-based products provide hydration to the hair. You can then apply the Glow Luxe Hair & Skin Glow Oil to help condition the hair, add shine, and reduce moisture loss. The Glow Luxe Hair Growth Balm or Glow Luxe Strengthening Hair Growth Balm can be incorporated based on your preferred LOC or LCO layering order, your styling needs, and how your hair responds.

Styling and Maintenance

Apply your leave-in conditioner and styling products to damp hair. Whether you're doing a twist-out, braid-out, or wash-and-go, choose products according to your individual hair and styling needs. Try our Glow Luxe Serum & Cream Sets for the ultimate hair care experience.
