Must-Haves and Time-Saving Tips for Every Hair Texture
Wash day can either feel like a peaceful self-care ritual or a dreaded chore — depending on how prepared you are. No matter your hair type — curly, wavy, straight, coily — having the right essentials can completely transform your wash day experience.
Here’s your complete checklist for healthy, happy hair (and some time-saving tricks!) — with a special shoutout to why Crafty Glam scrunchies are a must in your wash day lineup.
1. Gentle, Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Start with a cleanser that’s kind to your strands. Sulfate-free shampoos remove dirt and oil without stripping your hair’s natural moisture, which is critical for color-treated, curly, or fragile hair.
✅ Pro Tip: Focus shampoo only on your scalp — let the suds cleanse the rest of your hair as they rinse down.
2. Deep Conditioner or Hair Mask
Every hair texture benefits from deep conditioning, especially on wash day.
Look for masks with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or keratin to strengthen and soften.
✅ Pro Tip: Apply your mask and wrap your hair up with a Crafty Glam silk scrunchie to keep hair gently gathered while the treatment soaks in. Silk won’t pull or crease your delicate strands.
3. Wide-Tooth Comb or Detangling Brush
Never skip the detangling step — but make it painless! Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent breakage.
✅ Pro Tip: Detangle while your deep conditioner is in for easier glide and less stress on your hair.
4. Crafty Glam Scrunchies (Silk or Organza)
Tight elastics can cause serious breakage — especially on wet, vulnerable hair.
Swap them out for Crafty Glam scrunchies, which are:
- Ultra-gentle on strands
- Perfect for sectioning hair during styling
- Stylish enough to wear on a post-wash day!
✅ Pro Tip: Use a Crafty Glam organza scrunchie to create a loose pineapple bun after applying leave-in conditioner. It keeps curls bouncy and waves intact while drying.
5. Microfiber Towel or Cotton T-Shirt
Traditional towels can rough up the hair cuticle, causing frizz and breakage.
Instead, dry your hair gently with a microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt.
✅ Pro Tip: After gently blotting out excess water, use your Crafty Glam scrunchie to loosely tie your hair up while it finishes air-drying.
6. Leave-In Conditioner
Lock in moisture with a lightweight leave-in conditioner suited to your hair type.
It adds shine, protects against frizz, and makes styling so much easier.
✅ Pro Tip: Apply leave-in with praying hands motion for even distribution without disturbing your natural texture.
7. Scalp Massager (Optional, but Amazing!)
Boost blood circulation and promote healthy hair growth with a handheld scalp massager.
It feels like a mini spa treatment and helps ensure your shampoo really works into your roots.
✅ Pro Tip: Use it once a week with a clarifying shampoo for a super clean, healthy scalp.
Time-Saving Tricks for Wash Day
⏳ Pre-poo with coconut oil or conditioner if your hair is prone to tangling.
⏳ Section your hair before shampooing to make washing and detangling smoother (a perfect time to use Crafty Glam scrunchies!).
⏳ Air dry in a structured bun using a silk or organza scrunchie for less heat and less frizz.
Final Thought: Make Wash Day Feel Like Self-Care
With the right tools — including your must-have Crafty Glam scrunchies — wash day doesn’t have to be stressful. It can be a chance to pamper your hair, show it some love, and set yourself up for healthy, gorgeous strands all week long.
