To use hair volume shampoo, start by thoroughly wetting your hair, then apply a small amount (about the size of a quarter or a loonie) directly to your scalp.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Saturate Your Hair: Ensure your hair is completely wet with water before applying the shampoo. This helps the shampoo lather properly and distribute evenly.
-
Use a Small Amount: Volumizing shampoos are often concentrated, so a small amount is usually sufficient. Start with about a quarter-sized or loonie-sized amount.
-
Apply to the Scalp: Focus the shampoo application on your scalp. This is where you need to remove oil and build-up to promote lift and volume at the roots.
-
Massage Gently: Gently massage the shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips. Avoid using your nails, as this can irritate your scalp. Work the shampoo into a lather.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with water until all the shampoo is removed. Make sure there is no residue left, as this can weigh down your hair.
-
Follow with Volumizing Conditioner (Optional): For best results, follow up with a volumizing conditioner, focusing the application on the ends of your hair to avoid weighing down the roots.
-
Repeat if Necessary: If your hair is particularly dirty or oily, you can repeat the shampooing process.
