How? - you ask... Just byshampooing and conditioning it the right way – and here are some things to remember while you’re at it:
USE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SHAMPOO POSSIBLE
Using too much shampoo can make it hard to rinse out thoroughly, and could leave a film on the hair that will leave it looking dull and lifeless, as well as causing other problems, like flaking.
DON’T PILE YOUR HAIR ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD
Piling your hair on top of your head will just cause tangles and snarls causing more breakage. Let your hair hang straight down while washing and use your hands to work the shampoo from the roots down to the ends. You should use the same method when toweling your hair dry.
NOT SO HOT
Use warm water, not hot, when washing hair, as hot water is strips it of its color and moisture. Finishing off your hair wash with cold water instead will leave you extra shiny hair after each shampoo.
WORK IT THROUGH
Massage your shampoo on your head for as long as you can; it’s good for the scalp. If you have thicker or longer hair or both you may use more shampoo. If your hair is greasy, then shampoo twice before applying conditioner.
USE THE RIGHT PRODUCT
Buy a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair and to do that you must know yourhair type - whether it’s coarse or dry or thick or limp. It’s also important to recognize your problem areas, which could be hair fall or dryness or dandruff.
