Washing hair is never a big deal since it only takes about 3 minutes to shampoo, rinse, and condition your hair. It’s necessary to choose the suitable shampoo and conditioner, but you also need the proper way to wash your hair to have beautiful and shiny hair like when you just leave the salon.
To keep your hair healthy and looking its best, take a look at the helpful tips below.
Avoid washing your hair daily
The secret of models who have silk, shiny hair is they don’t wash their hair as frequent as you think. Doctors also recommend washing your hair less to keep it strong and healthy. Do you know that your hair produces more oil when it is cleaned too often?
Here are some tips you can follow to avoid washing your hair daily.
Use dry shampoo: You should use dry shampoo on days your hair produces too much oil instead of wetting your hair with normal shampoo. Just apply the dry shampoo on the roots of your hair and let it do its job.
Use hair accessories: You can hide your oily hair with a hair scarf or a bandana. Another good tip is braiding your hair to hide the unwashed part. Just use some hair bands or hair clips to refresh your hairstyle and leave the washing for another day.
Choose a Shampoo that Suits Your Hair Type
People often disregard the importance of choosing a suitable shampoo for your hair. Just like skin care, your hair also needs to be cared of by identifying your hair type and finding the most suitable shampoo.
Healthy hair will work well with any shampoos. But if your hair is too dry or too oily, you will need a specific shampoo. Remember to avoid creamy shampoos which make your hair more oily. If you dye or use a chemical to treat your hair, you should find gentle shampoos which are suitable to use every day.
Gently Massage the Roots of Your Hair
Calculate the amount of shampoo suitable for the different types of hair. You need to use more amount of shampoo if your hair is longer than your shoulders. Remember to massage the roots of your hair gently, not scrubbing because you won’t want to damage your hair by that way. Moreover, you don’t need to wash the ends of your hair. Your job is just cleaning the roots because this is where the majority of the oil is coming from.
Have a Clear Shampooing Process
Having a clear shampooing process means you will know which steps you need to put into your daily routine. Here are step-to-step instructions you can follow to find the most suitable way to wash your hair.
Preparation: Brush the remaining styling products out of your hair.
Shampoo: Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type – is your hair healthy, oily or dry?
Shampooing: Moisten your hair with warm water, then distribute the suitable amount of shampoo through your hair and foam up. Remember not to scratch your scalp with your nails. Finally, wash your hair with cold water to stimulate the blood circulation.
Hair Drying: Just press a towel on your hair and let it absorb the water. Avoid rubbing your hair or toweling. The process of the cloth moving fiercely back and forth many times will damage your hair.
