How to Wash Men's Curly Hair
When it comes to washing men's curly hair, it's important to use the right products and technique. Here's what you'll need:
- Shampoo

- Wide-tooth comb
Before you begin, make sure your hair is thoroughly wet. This will help the shampoo and conditioner penetrate your hair more effectively.

Follow these steps to wash men's curly hair:
- Apply a quarter-sized amount of shampoo to your hair and massage it into your scalp.
- Use your fingers to work the shampoo through your hair, making sure to focus on the roots.
- Rinse your hair thoroughly to remove all the shampoo.
- Apply a quarter-sized amount of conditioner to your hair, focusing on the ends.
- Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the conditioner evenly through your hair.
