Made a massive difference when I started pat drying my hair, it became more softer and smoother instead of roughly and vigorously rub drying my hair, making my hair dry… I feel like this should be common sense but apparently not to me since I found out about this just recently 😅
I’ve found that my hair responds best to using the absolute smallest amount of shampoo I can get out of the bottle, like literally a single drop the size of the tip of my pinky. More than that and I get dried out. I’ve tried using none at all and the oils in my hair start forming into more complex polymers and it gets unpleasant.
