Your hair like other parts of your body needs to be kept clean.
Precaution(s) have to be taken while shampooing to reduce tangling, pain and hair loss.
I'd like to share some shampooing tips:
1. Shampoo once every two weeks, this ensures that your hair is clean and not manipulated too often.
2. Replace your shampoo with conditioners. Shampoos zap moisture from your hair leaving it clean but weak and brittle.
Conditioners on the other hand clean your hair and retains moisture.
3. Use anti dandruff scalp creams as dandruff shampoos contain sulphur that strip the hair of moisture.
4. Swap your towel with an old cotton tee-shirt. Tee shirts are smooth, super absorbent and not as rough as towels.They help reduce hair tangling, snags and breakage.
5. Comb your hair properly before shampooing, start combing from your ends to the scalp and do not comb your hair again till you finish conditioning.
These singular procedure drastically reduces shampooing hair breakage.
6. Massage your scalp with your finger tips in a circular motion with your hair gliding through your fingers.
7. Always, always follow your shampooing with conditioning.
8. Place the shirt over your hair to blot out moisture. Do not wring your hair or towel briskly as it tangles your hair and makes combing painful.
9. Apply leave in conditioners.
10. Dry your hair... Air drying with a fan or a low heat hair drier works (the lower the heat, the better for your hair).
11. Oil your hair and scalp.
I'd like to hear your shampooing regime. Let's get our hair growing girls♥
Is it the leave-in conditioner not supposed to washed off? Is it the same leave-in conditioner that one will use to condition the hair after shampooing or another one althogether?
ReplyDeleteHey dear,
ReplyDeleteLeave in conditioners are meant to be left in your hair to soften it over a period of time.
so in summary there are 2 conditioners to be used;
The first liquid conditioner that you use as a shampoo and
secondly the liquid or cream leave in conditioner that you do not wash off
