Right Ways to Wash Hair
Valuable Tips
Have you noticed that, when you get your hair washed at the salon, it leaves feeling softer and silkier and has more movement? The reason is not only the professional products, but the way that the hairdresser washes your hair. Using warm or cold water on your hair, gently massaging with shampoo over the entire surface of your scalp and waiting for the conditioner to activate are just a few essential tips for washing your hair correctly. Want to learn more to try to do the same at home? It’s easy!

1
Don't do it too often
Washing your hair too much strips the natural oils from your scalp, causing a rebound effect; the roots become even more oily.
-
2
Regulate the water temperature
It should be warm or cold, never too hot; excessive heat contributes to drying out your hair.
-
3
Save Shampoo
The amount of shampoo equivalent to 1/4 of your palm is enough for your hair. Only use it once, so as not to weigh your hair down.
-
4
Massage gently
With circular movements, apply shampoo for approximately 20 seconds. Let it run down your hair to the tips.
-
5
Pay attention to the conditioner
Unlike shampoo, conditioner should only be applied to your hair and tips. Let it stay in your hair for 5 to 7 minutes.
-
6
Remember, less is more
An amount equal to a teaspoon is okay for short hair. For medium to long hair, half a tablespoon is enough.
-
7
Rinse your hair well
Ensure that all residue is removed. Rinse your hair once more in cold water; the thermal shock from the change in temperature gives it more shine!
-
8
Activate root circulation
While still in the shower, use a comb to carefully detangle your hair, always from the tips to the center of your hair.
