STEP 1
Wet hair thoroughly, then squeeze out any excess water. Deposit a small amount of shampoo into your hand (about the same size as a 10 cent piece), and massage it into your scalp and around the hairline with the pads of your fingers. Rinse all the product out with warm water.
“A detoxifying shampoo will thoroughly remove styling product and daily grime,” says Hayden.

Wait about 2-5 minutes, then run a wide-tooth comb through hair to detangle.

To seal the cuticle and eliminate frizz, rinse the mask out with cool water.
