How to Shampoo Hair

With the vast array of shampoos on the market, all promising a different solution; to soften, add fullness, enhance color, reduce tangling or increase shine, choosing one can be confusing. After you’ve picked the one that promises a solution for your specific hair type, follow some simple techniques to get the most from your shampoo.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Saturate your hair thoroughly. In order to distribute the shampoo efficiently, your hair must be very wet. If your hair is oily, use very warm water, if your hair is dry and brittle, use lukewarm water.

2. Squeeze out a quarter-size dollop of shampoo in your hand and rub your palms together before applying to your hair.

3. Work the shampoo into your hair, distributing it evenly over your head. Concentrate on washing your scalp, not the length of your hair. Massage your scalp while working the shampoo into a lather with your fingertips.

4. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water and repeat the shampooing process. If your hair is dry or damaged one shampooing may be sufficient. Rinse again and apply conditioner, if desired.

Tips & Warnings

• Switch shampoo brands every few months to reduce product buildup. If you love your shampoo the first few times you use it but after a while it doesn’t seem to have the same effect, you could be experiencing a buildup of ingredients. Use a different shampoo for a couple of weeks before trying your favorite one again.
• Use a shampoo with an included conditioner when you don’t have time to wash and condition separately.
