How to Wash Hair

In order to keep your hair healthy you must know how to wash hair properly. It is hard to believe, but a lot of mistakes are made while washing the dust and dirt out of your hair.

You need to follow these instructions:

For any type of hair, the main goal is to distribute the shampoo in an even way, and rinse thoroughly - especially at the nape, where suds often stick.

Wet your hair completely with warm water (avoid hot water as it can dry hair). Do not forget to lift your hair at the roots, especially in the back. This way you scalp, where oil and dirt collect, will be well soaked.

Rub a quarter-sized dollop of shampoo in your palms; you can add a splash of water, and lather it slightly. You do not need to repeat after rinsing unless you have very thick or long hair.

Apply the shampoo; begin at the crown of your head, move down to your neck and then along your hairline. Focus on the underside of your hair in the back, against your scalp.

Using the pads of your fingers, you need to scrub your scalp gently in small circles. This will remove skin flakes, natural oils and styling-product residue.

Rinse with lukewarm water for 1 minute.

How often should you wash your hair? Every other day, unless you have oily hair.
If you have relaxed hair, you should wash only once a week.

Keep in mind these tips: if you have oily hair, brush it with a boar-bristle brush before washing; this will help loosen the clumpy scalp flakes.

Do not crush curls (if you have them) while shampooing.

Always rinse completely.

If time allows, let hair to air dry.
