How this site makes money
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. TheWashDay is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that pays a commission on qualifying purchases. When you follow one of our Amazon links and buy something, Amazon pays us a small share of that order. You pay the same price either way.
The "Check price on Amazon" button and a product photograph can both take you to Amazon. Those links may earn a commission. The maker’s own product-page link is separate, and a disclosure appears beside the buying choices.
The "View at …" button goes to the maker's own product page: tgin, Curlsmith, Pattern Beauty, Olaplex, Briogeo, The Doux and the rest. We have not joined those programmes, so those links earn us nothing and we deliberately do not mark them as if they did. If that changes, this page changes first.
We run no display advertising, we sell nothing ourselves, and nobody has ever paid to appear on this site or to be placed in a routine.
What a commission cannot do here
Nothing on this site is listed, ordered or recommended by what it pays. Products are grouped by the wash-day step they belong to, and the routine builder follows the step order and the maker's own directions. The code that filters, orders and plans never reads a commission, tracking or affiliate field.
We do not use these products and we do not claim to. Every direction, size, ingredient list and declared claim comes from the maker's own page, listed on our sources page, and where a maker does not publish something the page says the fact is unknown rather than guessing. Ingredient-list filters describe the listed formula; they do not establish allergy safety. Read how we compare for the rules in full.
Photographs and source links
Product photographs are served at page load from Amazon's authorised product image API and are separate from any ordering. They expire and are removed when their permitted period ends. A source citation is not an affiliate link: links to maker product pages, ingredient lists and FAQs earn us nothing and exist so you can check what we have said.
The homepage scene is a generated illustration. The instructional diagrams are original drawings that explain the steps; they do not document a product demonstration.
If something here looks wrong
Tell us. A wrong direction or an old ingredient list matters on skin and hair. Use the contact page and name the product, the detail and where you saw the correct information.
