How we approach unplait and wash in the chair
What we check first: hairline tension, matting at the nape, and how long your install has been in.
What we intentionally avoid: rushing takedown, forcing knots, or pulling through shed hair that needs time to release.
What you should feel by the end: relief at the scalp, less tangling, and hair that feels clean, softened, and easier to manage.
- Sectioned takedown. We remove plaits in controlled sections to reduce snapping and stress on edges.
- Shed hair release. We work through tangles with slip and patience so shedding does not become breakage.
- Cleanse after release. We cleanse once hair is safely loosened so water does not tighten matting.
- Condition and detangle. Treatment is applied to restore softness and manageability before we detangle.
- Finish light. You leave with a clean, comfortable foundation for your next step.
