Shampoos (Cleansers): Effective shampoos are critical to the success of your natural hair regimen. We normally recommend washing your hair once per week for naturals who are trying to create a natural hair regimen. However, once you get to know your hair, you may need to modify the frequency as necessary. The products that you use on your hair may influence how often you need to shampoo. If you are a real product junkie and use several different types of products, you might have to shampoo more frequently than someone who is more of a minimalists – who decides to use very few products.
