Wash day
The full routine of washing, conditioning, detangling and styling natural hair, often once a week.
Wash day is the name many people with curly and coily hair give to the long weekly or fortnightly routine of caring for their hair: pre-treating, washing, deep conditioning, detangling, moisturising and then setting or styling, often in twists, braids or a twist-out. It can take most of a day. Because coily hair is drier and more fragile, it is often washed less often than straight hair. Wash day is a shared experience in many families and online.
