Washing your hair properly involves a few key steps to ensure cleanliness and healthy hair.
- Soak hair with warm water before shampooing: This helps loosen dirt and product buildup, making the shampoo more effective.
- Start shampooing at the roots: Apply shampoo to your scalp, focusing on the areas where oil and dirt tend to accumulate.
- Scrub your scalp—not your hair: Massage the shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips, rather than your nails.
- Rinse and repeat if necessary: If your hair is very oily or dirty, you may need to shampoo twice.
- Rinse shampoo thoroughly: It's crucial to remove all traces of shampoo, as residue can leave your hair feeling dry and sticky.
- Apply conditioner on bottom half of hair: This helps to hydrate and detangle your hair, leaving it soft and manageable.
- Rinse conditioner with cold water: Cold water helps seal the hair cuticles, making your hair look shiny and healthy.
Remember to choose shampoo and conditioner products that are suitable for your hair type.
