Hair washing keeps hair clean by applying shampoo and water to remove sebum and dirt. For greasy hair after washing, clarifying shampoo and lightweight products can help. Shampooing too little or too often contributes to greasiness.
Most professionals offer a hair wash before/after a haircut to make hair more manageable and remove loose strands. Use quality shampoo/conditioner appropriate for your hair type. Detangle wet hair with a wide-tooth comb. Avoid excessively hot water. Washing at night allows hair to air dry.
The dome-like hair dryer fits over head, drying hair with hot air through small openings. Bar soap can cause hair roughness and tangles instead of shampoo. Warm water is better than hot. Massage scalp vigorously but gently with fingertips using shampoo. Rinse thoroughly – insufficient rinsing leaves suds. Repeat wash if very dirty.
Conditioner hydrates hair. Coarse hair requires more conditioning to avoid dryness and damage. Saturate coarse hair with lukewarm water before shampooing. Overwashing strips natural oils, causing more oil production. Limit washing, use dry shampoo between washes. Wash frequency depends on thickness/type. Leave conditioner 5-7 minutes. Gently towel dry and use protectant.
First, wet your hair completely. This helps the shampoo lather up and spread evenly. Next, massage a small amount of shampoo into your scalp, getting all over. Rinse thoroughly – leaving suds causes irritation.
Always use the correct shampoo for your hair type. Try not to use ones with alcohol or silicon as these strip natural oils. Read labels and buy wisely.
Concentrate on your scalp and work in a circular massaging motion. This helps get rid of dead skin cells, leading to a healthier scalp. It’s also relaxing. Be careful when brushing wet hair as strands are prone to breakage.
Follow up shampoo with an apple cider vinegar rinse. This fights yeast and bacteria if your hair is still flecking. Exfoliating can stimulate the scalp, unclog follicles and promote growth. Using products with the same scent seals the fragrance. Hair perfume keeps hair smelling fresh.
Apply shampoo at the scalp then work through ends, spreading on hidden places. Start conditioner on ends then work a little to the scalp. Use less product but more water. Lift hair away from the scalp when rinsing thoroughly. Left-over product causes build-up and makes hair hard to style.
