Best Tips Of Doing The Right Way Of Washing Your Hair To Avoid Hair Damage

Wahing our hair can be annoying. It is frustrating. It takes time. You get all cold out of the shower. And then you have to style your hair afterwards which can be varrying degrees of work, depending on your texture and specific look your going for.

Applying the right technique during the washing of your hair may provide changes in its quality. If you wash your hair in a wrong way, it may experience damage, resulting to dryness and lifeless.

Inorder to get the best  of our hair, here's how we should wash our hair:

1. Rinse

*Hair should be thoroughly wet before you add your shampoo. Better to use hot water because it will open the scalp's cuticle to absorb the oil in your shampoo. 

2. If you have long hair, condition first

*Conditioning your hair will not only keep ends healthy but it will fill any holes in the cuticle with moisture, making it smoother and boosting shine.

3. Lather up but only at the scalp

*Shampoo your hair at the scalp, particularly at the nape. The best way to lather up is from roots to ends. 

4. Be gentle

*Be careful and be gentle when you wash your hair because your hair's cuticles suffer significant damage, frizz and breakage due to friction.

5. Don't use circular motions which can tangle your hair

*Smooth the lather over the ends in a straight stroking motion. Do not scrub the fragile ends or use a back and forth motion like you’re washing a rag on a washboard.”

6. Don't rinse and repeat

*There's no need to wash your hair twice. Unless your hair is extremely dirty and the first shampoo didn't produce a lather.

7. Add conditioner from the mid- lenghts to the tips

*Squeeze some of the water out of the hair before you put in the conditioner. Do not put conditioner at the roots of your hair. 

8. Finish with a cold water rinse

*Cold water will shut the cuticle tight, sealing the shingle-like outer layer, which will cause it to reflect the most light and give off the most shine.

Determine the best frequency for washing the hair. In case of dry or normal hair, you can lather it up for around three times weekly. In case of fine or oily hair type, wash it every day.
