Summary: Shampooing hair with moisturizing shampoo will lock in moisture and will be easier to style. Learn how to lather hair with moisturizing shampoo in this free hairstyle video about how to prepare hair for braiding.
"We've just gotten done rinsing out the clarifying shampoo and we're getting ready to use another shampoo that's very moisturizing. Moisture is extremely important when it comes to these semi-permanent styles. As before, like I said, don't be afraid to be extremely liberal with the amounts. Now as you go into the scalp and the hair, like I said, the hair is what gets you lather. When you see a good lather like this, that lets you know the hair is pretty close to clean. So this is the only other shampoo we'll need to do. Scrub at the scalp a little bit. Keep stimulating the scalp throughout the whole entire process to make sure that it's ready to accept the braids. This shampoo smells good. The lather just keeps building and building. I don't need to add any more shampoo and that's just another sign that the hair is clean and will be ready to condition right after we rinse this out."
