Wash Day Schedule & Guide

Curly Hair Wash Day Schedule | Downloadable Calendar & Guide

This Wash Day Calendar is something I have been working on for several months, and am thrilled to finally share it with you. I have never seen this type of resource available in the curly community, so I wanted to create a downloadable guide to your wash day. If you’re someone who learns best by reading and enjoys having everything laid out for you in a visual way, this will hopefully help you better understand how to care for your naturally curly hair.

As a beginner, you may be struggling with how to build your wash day routine, when to clarify versus co-wash, when to use protein versus moisture, and more. This guide will spell it out for you in a calendar format.

Best of all, it’s FREE!

In this guide, you will learn:

  • When to clarify to remove build-up
  • When to co-wash
  • The different methods and levels of cleansing
  • How often to deep condition
  • When to refresh your curls
  • How to balance protein and moisture

The PDF also includes a blank, printable wash day calendar for you to fill in and build your custom hair routine.

10% off the Bounce Curl Brush through the link in my bio. Do you make any of these "mistakes"? While there is no right or wrong way to do your curls, try these alternative techniques if you struggle with sectioning and brush styling. ❌ Not brushing through your hair before sectioning and it not being wet enough. ✅ Ensure your hair is evenly wet and brush through. You can apply leave-in or cream first. 👉🏼Why? It will be difficult to create clean sections lines with tangles in the way. ❌ Leaving the hair stuck to your head after brushing. ✅ Run your fingers through your hair, lifting the hair away from the scalp. 👉🏼Why? This creates space at the root so your fingers can get below the hair to create clean lines. ❌ Not creating clean lines. ✅ Create clean section lines by placing 2 fingers around your hairline and gliding back until they meet, continually pressing down on the scalp and remaining under the hair. Meet your fingers in the back, grab the above section, and split apart the hair. 👉🏼Why? If you don't have a clean line you will likely accidentally snag the other section while styling. ❌ Not securing the hair above upwards and letting it droop down over the line. ✅ Comb the above section up and secure it snug with a claw clip. Avoid duckbill clips and anything that is too loose. 👉🏼Why? If the top section is falling over the section line, you're likely to snag it when styling. ❌ Not securing back your sections after styling them. ✅ Clip away the finished sections with another claw clip. 👉🏼Why? This prevents you from accidentally picking up hairs that have already been styled and mixing them in. ⭐️️BONUS TIP⭐️ ❌ Grabbing sections that are too large or too small in your brush when brush styling. ✅ Ensure your section is not wider than your brush. Ensure it's not too small to where there is no tension to grab the hair. 👉🏼Why? If it's too large it will fall out, tangle up, or not properly clump the curls. If it's too small it will fall out and not curl up since there is not enough tension. Watch the full YT video to learn more. I go over my entire sectioning routine and brush styling in detail for beginners. #︎curlyhairstyling #stylingcurlyhair #curlyhairtips #brushstyling #curlyhairmistakes
