How many days after straightening with softening flat irons can you wash your hair?

Some people are born with curly hair, and some are born with straight hair. But for people who often have straight hair, sometimes curling their hair can change their hairstyle and mood. The same goes for people with curly hair. Changing to a straight hairstyle can add a lot of confidence to a person. But generally speaking, how many days after straightening with a softening flat iron can you wash your hair?

How many days can you wash your straightened hair?

It is best to wash your hair every three days after straightening it, because straightening hair requires the use of more styling lotion, and it takes a certain amount of time for the styling lotion to work better and keep the hair straightening effect longer. If you wash your hair right after pulling it, the pulled hairstyle will become less obvious. At the same time, you cannot tie your hair within three days, and be careful not to let your hair get bent when sleeping. It is best to put a silk scarf on your pillow.

What happens if you wash your hair too soon after straightening it?

If you wash your hair too early after straightening it (usually 1 or 2 days after straightening it), it will easily affect the effect of the styling lotion, resulting in poor straightening effect and greater damage to the hair, making it more difficult to straighten. If you straighten your hair repeatedly, it will cause even greater damage to the hair.

How to wash your hair after straightening it

Every time you wash your hair, the water temperature should not exceed 40℃. Remember to pour the shampoo on your hands, add water to make foam, and then apply it to your hair. This will have a better cleaning effect.

Post-straightening hair care

Use some conditioner appropriately

Pick up some effective conditioner and gently apply it to your hair after washing, away from the roots. Apply conditioner evenly from the ends to the middle of the hair, then wait for about 2 minutes and rinse it off. This can repair damaged hair and also make it smooth.

Straighten your hair without a flat iron

After straightening your hair, never use a flat iron to straighten it again, as this will increase the damage to the hair. If your hair is not straight enough, you can do cold straightening alone, so that the hair will become straight as soon as it gets wet.

Essential oil + massage

Use your fingers to rub your scalp. The massage method should be based on the direction of blood flow from the scalp to the heart. Head massage can help oil secretion, but for oily hair, the massage force should be light. In fact, it’s okay to use a slightly heavier force.
