The Proper Way To Shampoo Your Hair

As a kid, I use to hate to shower. Much less get my hair wet! But as an adult, after some really good experiences to the hair saloon, hearing some hair / shampoo experts talk on the radio, and trying this at home, it's a whole new ball game! And fun!

1. Use Warm Water. This opens your hair cuticles and pores.

2. Completely Wet Your Hair. Never let shampoo touch dry hair. Soak and rinse your hair thoroughly before applying shampoo. This helps to remove residue and prepares your hair and scalp for an even distribution of shampoo.

3. Squeeze about a 20-sen amount in your hand. Apply pathes of shampoo to different parts of your head like the nape of your neck, above your ears, etc.

4. Massage the shampoo uniformly onto your scalp. This is more important that applying too much shampoo into a few spots of hair or getting the tips of your hairs clogged with too much shampoo, causing them to tangle or split.

5. Do not use too much force or aggression to apply in circular motions. Remember how professionals use a little bit of nail to gently massage your scalp?

6. Take your time, enjoy the shower. Get the blood flowing on your scalp.

7. Thoroughly Rinse Your Hair. Leaving shampoo or residue in your scalp will block the hair cuticles or pores and might cause blockages or loss of hair.

8. At the end, switch to very cold water to close your hair cuticles and pores, plus create a nicer shine (of course this depends on your shampoo product!).
