How to Wash your Hair
Many people do these things wrong when washing their hair. These mistakes are stopping your hair from recovering well and looking good. Let’s see what you can try out:
Oiling your hair before washing is very important and beneficial; this is extremely powerful for your hair. Massage coconut oil, almond oil or olive oil onto your scalp and hair and leave it on for several minutes before you go to shower and shampoo your hair. Use cool or moderate temperature water. If water is hot, that can harm your scalp and hair and cause a lot of damage. Do not use any heat styling devices on your hair because it can cause damage and split ends.
Always use cool or lukewarm water for hair wash, this will close the hair cuticles and retain the moisture on your hair. First, start by diluting the shampoo: Don’t forget to use 2-3 pumps of shampoo when you wash your hair. But unfortunately, I must disappoint you with the information that shampoo removes natural oils from your scalp and hair making it dry. But the good news is that there is a solution: You can prevent this by diluting 1-2 pumps of shampoo in 1/2 cups of water and then wash your hair with it. Massage your scalp and hair gently, don’t use rough rubs on your head while you wash your hair, and when shampooing it. Instead of that, massage your scalp gently by using your fingertips, use small, circulate motions to apply shampoo on your hair and scalp; this will prevent excessive damage and entanglement.
You shouldn’t apply conditioner only on the ends: Always apply conditioner on the entire hair and scalp; this will build up your hair. Start from the middle-length of your hair and move your fingers towards the scalp. This should last for 2 minutes.
You don’t need to wash your hair every single day: Many people think that we should wash our hair every single day, this is a mistake. Don’t do it!!!
Washing your hair every day may seem very hygienic to you, but that will damage your hair and it will cause dehydration. It will also cause more breakage of your hair.
How to Dry Your Hair Properly
Maybe you don’t know this, but it is quite possible to seriously damage your hair while drying and brushing it. Here I give you some very important tips on how to dry your hair to avoid any damage.
Always use a microfiber towel: Use a microfiber towel to pre-dry your hair when you're done showering. Do not use a terrycloth towel because it can tangle your hair and can cause hair breakage.
Do not use a blow dryer
The heat that comes from blow dryers is very harmful to your hair. It can cause serious damage and even split your hair. Heat styling tools are very harmful too and you should avoid them. The best way is to simply apply conditioner on your wet hair and allow the air to dry it.
