Shampooing can be said to be a daily thing right, how do you wash it? How long does it usually take? Is it roughly towel dried ? In fact, you are required to do it with professional knowledge. If you don't shampoo correctly, not only will you fail to ensure that your hair is in a healthy and clean growing environment, but you may also damage your hair, such as more severe hair fall, frizz and a host of other problems. Now, I'm going to tell you how to wash your hair properly, which may shock you. Here we go.
Pre-washing
Step 1: Comb your hair.
Before washing your hair, use a comb to smooth your hair so that you can avoid hair fall caused by knotting and pulling during the washing process. Our advice is that you are only allowed to comb your hair at this time until you have finished the shampoo. Be aware that warm water will open up the hair scales and once you use a comb at this time, you are simply destroying your hair and making your hair shed more.
Step 2: Infiltrate hair.
To be honest, how long do you flush your hair before you apply shampoo? We all know that getting your hair wet is the action in order maximize shampoo’s cleansing effect. Firstly, rinse your hair with water at about 38 degrees Celsius for at least two minutes. The purpose is to wash away the dirty things on the surface of your hair such as dust, dandruff and what not. Don’t forget that you should be careful to test the water temperature in advance, not higher than 40 degrees, or it will cause damage to the hair.
Secondly, make your scalp thoroughly wet. Be aware that washing the scalp is more important than the hair, and it plays a greater role in creating a refreshing environment for hair growth.
While washing
Step 3: Apply shampoo.
Once your hair is completely wet, it's time to use shampoo. Avoid pouring it directly on your hair for convenience. Don't think it will wash better that way. Apply from the scalp to all the hair. Use your hands to bring the hair up in small shakes to lather, at least two minutes.
There are two benefits to creating a bubble in this way. First, it will be more volume, in other words, we can save more shampoo. Of course, it allows the foam to penetrate deeper into our hair and make greater use of the shampoo's cleansing action.
Step 4: Massage.
Press the scalp with your fingers and massage the scalp from the back of the ear to the top of the head without missing a beat.
Scalp elevation is relatively high compared to other parts of the body, and blood does not easily reach. Its aging rate is 6 times faster than the face. So when pressing the scalp as hard as if you were touching a peach for about 3 minutes, you improve blood circulation to the scalp, which helps hair growth and inhibits hair loss.
Step 5: Rinse.
During this process, you need to be patient enough to rinse your hair thoroughly . If there is residual material, it can easily clog the pores and cause a poor environment for the hair follicles to grow.
After washing
Step 6: Use a towel to absorb the excess water gently.
Most people rub their hair hard with a towel immediately after their shampoo in order to squeeze out the moisture for the sake of speed, don't they? This behavior really hurts the hair too much! You should always remember that your hair is very fragile and once you do this, you damage their cuticle and they become dry and more sensitive. No wonder you're falling out more and more hair.
The proper way to do is to choose a soft towel to wrap around your hair, you can choose to press it gently a few minutes and leave it alone, or better yet you spend some time massaging your scalp. Don't feel like it is a waste of time! Not only does it better shorten the time it takes for your hair to dry, it also promotes blood circulation to your scalp.
You can also pour the shampoo on a bath bomb and gently rub to lather and apply the foam to your scalp and hair. We are not emphasizing that the more foam, the cleaner your hair will be washed, only that with more foam, they can be better distributed in the hair crevices and the cleansing effect of the shampoo will work better.
Step 7: Dry your hair with a hair dryer.
Do not think that using a hair dryer is also an easy task. First of all, you'd better start with the hair at the back of your head. Secondly, at the very beginning, you can use hot air to get your hair 90% dry and then switch to cold air. The purpose is to cool down the hair as much as possible to close the stretched scales and make it smoother.
Step 8: Do some maintenance properly.
If your hair is dry and frizzy and badly damaged, you may choose to use some moisturizing products to help improve this problem. For example, use some conditioner before or after using shampoo. This will allow the hair scales to be wrapped in a lubricating layer to reduce shedding. Of course, it is also good idea to put some hair oil on the ends of your hair when using a hair dryer.
This is a whole shampooing process. You'd better read it carefully. In short, shampooing your hair you have to follow two principles: gentle and effective. Always keep in mind: your hair is fragile, so treat them more gently. You can follow the steps as well as some details for an experiment and I am sure you will feel your hair become softer and your scalp more relaxed. Hope you can all have healthier hair and be more confident.
