Yes, you can get curly crochet hair wet. Crochet hair is typically made from synthetic or human hair extensions that are attached to cornrow braids using a crochet needle. While synthetic crochet hair may be more prone to tangling when wet, both synthetic and human hair crochet extensions can withstand water exposure.
However, it's essential to take proper care when getting curly crochet hair wet to maintain its integrity and prevent damage. Here are some tips for washing curly crochet hair:
- Use a gentle shampoo: Choose a sulfate-free shampoo formulated for curly or textured hair to cleanse the hair without removing its organic oils.
- Detangle with care: Before wetting the hair, gently detangle it using your fingers to remove any knots or tangles.
- Wet the hair thoroughly: Wet the curly crochet hair with lukewarm water, ensuring that the water reaches all parts of the hair and braids.
- Apply shampoo: Dilute the shampoo in water and apply it to the scalp and hair, focusing on the roots and braids. Apply the shampoo to your scalp gently to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the hair with lukewarm water until all traces of shampoo are removed. Be gentle to avoid causing tangles or matting.
- Condition the hair: Focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of the hair, apply a hydrating conditioner to it. After letting the conditioner sit for a few minutes, give it a thorough rinse with warm water.
- Pat dry: To remove the extra water from the hair, gently pat it with a towel. Refrain from rubbing or wringing the hair, as this may create friction and result in tangling or frizz.
- Air dry or use a diffuser: You can use a blow dryer to hurry up the drying process or let it air dry naturally. Steer clear of intense heat as it can dry out human hair extensions or harm synthetic fibers.
