Hair tip of the day: Shampooing!
I know that being able to shampoo sounds like common sense but there are ways to shampoo that will be much more effective then what you may be doing now. With just a few steps you can change up your technique in order to get a cleaner scalp and ultimately cleaner hair. You can also save money by learning how to use less shampoo. Here are the steps to take in order to give yourself a fantastic shampoo:
1) Wet the hair completely. Don't just dunk your head under the shower head, get your hands into it. Every strand of hair needs to be well saturated.
2) Pour a dime sized amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand. Now rub hands together to work up a lather. This will ensure that you get the shampoo throughout the hair and not just in one spot.
3)Put sudsy hands right into the scalp first. Massage the scalp thoroughly before shampooing the ends of the hair. It's important to really scrub the scalp. You will remove dead skin and oil. This will keep follicles free from gunk that can cause skin irritation, pimples and cradle cap. If you feel that you aren't getting enough of a sudsing, just add more water. Don't add more shampoo because it's just a waste of product. Once the entire scalp is scrubbed then the ends can have the shampoo squished into them. It doesn't take much work to shampoo the ends. The shampoo's job is to grab dirt and grime, so that it can be rinsed away. It's important not to rub the ends of the hair together. They will get tangled and because hair is most delicate when wet, the hair can be broken if treated too roughly.
4) Rinse hair completely, again by using your hands. It's easy to just want to dunk your head under and be done with it but you want to be sure to rinse all the shampoo away.
I hope that these steps will give you a happier scalp, healthier hair and help you to spend less money on shampoo. It's a terrible thing to let money go down the drain! Happy Shampooing!:)
