Make sure you don’t pull too hard because. If your hair is sprayed stiff, pulling may cause breaking or other damage to your hair.
• Gingerly comb your hair to get rid of tangles. Comb your hair very slowly with a wide toothed comb in order to minimize pulling. Divide the hair into sections and comb each section carefully.
• Take a warm water shower. Lukewarm water will ease out all of the chemicals and sprays that you used without damaging your hair. Follow by gently rinsing your hair under running water for ten minutes.

Repeat the process because hair sprays and mousse tend to be stubborn. It is important that you need lather and rinse twice to make sure there is no residue left behind.
• Follow up with a leave-in conditioner and blow-dry. Set the blow dryer on medium or low heat. Comb your dry hair with a wide-toothed comb. If you didn’t use a leave-in conditioner, apply a bit of oil on the scalp to make sure it doesn’t dry up.
• After three days, wash your hair again.
