Wash Day, is a day where you feel traces of water, shampoo, and conditioner caressed in your scalp. It’s a day where a skilled hand massages your crown, easing away tension with every single touch. It’s a day when you feel reborn with a simple new hairstyle. Wash day is refreshing and invigorating. It’s a part of Black culture where you take a pause in the rhythmic dance of the week. From the soothing properties of aloe vera to the hydrating richness of shea butter, natural hair remedies will transform your hair care routine. These following products will revolutionize your hair care routine and leave your scalp feeling refreshed and renewed.
