Your Hair
. Shampoo your hair every alternate day. Some
beauticians recommend shampooing your hair everyday,
but this must only be done with a very mild shampoo
as you could dry out your hair. However, don’t
let your hair get really dirty before you shampoo
it, as this could cause your hair to fall. Shampooing
it every alternate day or at the most, after every
two days, should do the trick. Take a clue from
the climate you live in. Ask yourself these questions:
- Is the climate humid?
- Do I exercise and workout a lot? This leads
to a sweaty scalp.
- Is the atmosphere in my city polluted?
- If your answer to any of these questions is
a yes, you need to shampoo more often.
Start washing your hair at the scalp, because
that's where grease accumulates. Gently massage
the shampoo into your hair with your fingertips.
It is a good idea to dilute the shampoo in a little
water in a mug and then massage it on your scalp.
This way the shampoo is even gentler on the hair.
-While applying shampoo to your locks, leave them
hanging down instead of piling them on top of
your head as though you're posing for a shampoo
commercial. Piling up your hair only leads to
more tangles. Let it hang naturally so the lather
works its way from the root to the ends.
- Try not to churn your hair too much. Work the
shampoo gently so the strands don't get untangled
and result in unbearable knots. If you have long
hair, apply shampoo to your scalp, divide it into
sections, and massage each section gently with
the shampoo from roots to ends.
Go gentle while rinsing
- The best way to wash out shampoo is to keep
combing it with your wide toothed comb while rinsing
it out under the shower. This helps in the de-tangling
process and also helps the shampoo to rinse out
better. While you rinse your hair, do not rub
it harshly. Hair is at its most fragile state
when it's being rinsed. The correct way is to
just simply let water run down your hair.
- Remember, it's best to rinse hair under running
water. Dunking it in a tub is not so effective
as residue may still remain. You have to make
sure you've rinsed out all the shampoo. Once you
are fairly certain it's all gone, stay under the
flow of water for another half minute or so, to
be doubly sure. Wrap your hair in a soft,absorbent
towel - and voila! You're done!
