I only wash my hair once a month – people always ask me the same things but I think my locks look good
SHE’S trained her hair so that she only has to wash it once every month.
But Tink finds that her unusual haircare routine often leads to people asking her the same questions.
She responded in a video of her fifth hair washing day of the year, as she said: “Last time I washed my hair it was the 7th May, and it’s now the 7th June.
“It has been 31 days and my hair has been through it this month – I’ve been to Turkey, it’s been in chlorine, it’s been in a spa, it’s been in a foam party.
“So it’s not feeling the best.”
While her hair looked greasy in the TikTok, she insisted it was just the oil that she sleeps in the night before she washes her locks.
She then began by separating the coloured sections of her hair, so that the different hues didn’t blend into one another.
After washing both sides twice with shampoo, Tink moved onto conditioner – applying just to the black side of her hair and applying just from the middle down.
“I’ve been doing this for around 12 to 15 years,” she said.
“I can’t remember exactly when I started but I’ve been training it for that long – that’s why I can go so long without washing my hair.
“If you start training, in two weeks’ time you’re not going to be able to go a month without washing your hair.
“It’s a slow process – just push it a day at a time.”
She then moved on to answer some of the regularly asked questions, as she said: “Yes I do shower, yes I do bath in between hair washes as well, I am a clean person, I promise.
“No, my hair doesn’t smell. It smells quite nice actually.
“Is it a lot of effort? No, because if you think I’m only washing my hair 12 times a year. So even though it’s a whole day process when I wash my hair, it’s not a lot of effort at all really.”
Once she’d conditioned the black side of her hair, she mixed her hair colours with conditioner to top up the coloured side of her ‘do.
After sitting with the hair dye in for around an hour, she went and washed everything out.
And after spraying with Colour Wow’s Dream Coat Spray, she blow dried her hair as the last part of the process.
“And here we go,” she said.
“All fresh, all clean, ready for another month. Look at the shine!
“And see how healthy it looks when it’s been washed. And it’s so silky.”
