All about Washing Hair Properly


You may or may not know this, but there is a 'right' way to wash your hair. If you have not been washing your hair properly, when you do, you should notice a big difference in the shine, bounce, health and cleanliness of your hair. How to wash your hair properly. Massaging/scrubbing too vigorously and not leaving shampoo on long enough, are the two main mistakes people usually make when washing their hair. The scalp and hair however, were not designed to withstand a consistent stream of hot air more than 40 degrees Celsius. We are talking of course of the humble yet violent blow dryer. When it is dry, apply protective products. These products will keep your hair from burning and drying out. There are also creams that you can apply on your hair so that the thermal device will not stay on your hair longer. Styling the iron on your hair should not be done by using the entire hair at once. But, first divide your hair into small sections and then start section by section.  When you feel like you are becoming one with your shower, believe me, you are not. It only takes five minutes to get the most out of your shower. Next, if you use a scruffy plastic washcloth to shower, you should probably stop.

Instead, use a washcloth that you can easily replace and clean. Finally, after your shower, you need to put baby lotion on your whole body. This increases the overall health of your body's skin and leaves you moist. With the help of a mirror, carefully comb the portion that you have just cut. Hold the hair between your middle and index finger by shaping it like a scissor. To easily achieve this you need to use the nozzle that comes with your hair dryer. The purpose of a nozzle is to concentrate the direction of the airflow while not disturbing the rest of the hair. A healthy hair diet includes fish, eggs, beans, yogurt, calves liver, brewers yeast, and wheat germ. Soy is another good source of protein for the hair. If you are in the habit of coloring your curls, make sure to keep your roots always the same color with the rest. Hair grows fast and the top of your head will soon look like belonging to another person unless you visit your hair salon regularly.

When washing your hair, make sure to use only enough shampoo for your hair. Washing your hair regularly is good but excessive shampooing is bad. Using more shampoo does not equate to cleaner hair. Make sure that you completely rinse, to get all the previous product out (ex: if you had gel or stylist wax in - some of that stuff can be really tough to get out). Application of shampoo: It's better to rub the shampoo on your palms and then apply it on your scalp. You should massage it with your fingertips without applying too much of pressure. Rinsing is a critical part of washing your hair. The best way to do it, according to the professional hairdressers, is to stand under running water. In circumstances such as these a properly maintained healthy diet and rest could help with your hair growth.
