The Biggest Mistake I Made With Raw Hair (And What It Taught Me)
The Biggest Mistake I Made With Raw Hair (And What It Taught Me)
One of the biggest mistakes I made early on was using clarifying shampoo on raw hair.
Clarifying shampoos are designed to strip buildup—but they also lift the cuticle.
When the cuticle lifts:
• the hair becomes rough
• strands start sticking together
• tangling increases
I had a client come back saying the hair was tangling, and I couldn’t figure out why—until I realized I had used the wrong product.
My mentor told me:
“Don’t ever use clarifying shampoo on that hair. You’re lifting the cuticle.”
That moment changed everything.
