When you think of washing your hair, you wouldn’t consider it to be a very difficult thing to do. You might even think it’s quite easy. Some of us approach washing our hair as a mundane task that we have to do a couple times a week. We’ve done it a million times, how hard can it be, right?
Here are a few rules to live by when it comes to washing your hair...
- De-tangle your hair before you wet it.
- For best results, use warm water to thoroughly wet your hair. By doing this you will open up the hair cuticles and in turn be able to wash all the oil and dirt away.
- Gently rinse your hair with your fingertips to remove any products you may have in your hair.
- Pour a generous amount of shampoo in your palm, rub your hands together and apply the shampoo to your scalp.
- Gently massage the scalp with your fingertips and make your way down the hair, but not down to the tips. As shampoo will dry your hair’s ends.
- After you finish washing your hair, thoroughly rinse with cold water to seal the cuticles, which will also add an extra layer of shine.
Now it’s time for the conditioner. Apply a generous amount, depending on your length, to the hairline, middle and ends of your hair.
Depending on how much time you have, let the conditioner set for up to ten minutes. After, thoroughly rinse your hair until it is completely free from any excess conditioner, unless it is a leave-in.
