General recommendations

The procedure does not require much time, but thanks to it, the hair will begin to grow healthy and shiny, and you will walk without a hedgehog on your head.

To avoid such consequences, massage the locks after a shower, you do not need to fiddle with them in circular motions. Also, you can don’t wipe them at all in this way, just put a towel on your head, fix it in a convenient way and walk 15 minutes until the water is absorbed into the fabric.
3. If your haircut involves daily styling, do the procedure only after the hair has completely dried. Never comb wet locks, especially a comb with iron teeth. If there is a need for this, get a brush with natural bristles in the hairdressing supplies store.
