Hair Care - Hair Shampooing Tips
by Peter hutch
Hair care and healthy growth of those tresses begins with simple
steps like beginning right and keeping to it on a daily basis.
This includes right way of shampooing hair with the products
meant for your particular hair-type and conditioning and
nourishing it so it looks glossy and healthy-and remains that
way too.
Wet your hair then work a small amount of shampoo through out
the hair, gently massaging your scalp with the pads of your
fingers.
Do not wash your hair with soap or other detergents not
formulated for the hair. They are highly alkaline and will upset
your hair’s natural pH balance by stripping it of its natural
oils.
Use gel to control hair when you want a "wet" affect. Apply gel
sparingly to your hair once styled. To use for braiding, apply
it to all of the hair before you braid, or when you want a
clean, off-the-face effect, you can apply it to the perimeter
hairline where lengths tend to be shorter.
Before conditioning, squeeze excess water from your hair (please
be gentle) soaking wet strands don't absorb conditioner very
well. To strengthen strands try a protein-based conditioner like
Pantene Pro-V Daily Treatment Conditioner.
If you suffer from a flaky scalp, try the following treatment
every 2 weeks: Section your hair and rub the scalp with a cotton
pad saturated with plain rubbing alcohol. Let the alcohol dry,
then brush your hair and rinse thoroughly with warm water but
don't shampoo. Apply more shampoo and massage for the second
time if needed, finally rinse all shampoo from the hair and
scalp with clean water. Normal hair types can benefit from
shampooing hair with products that contains aloe, glycerin,
honey, amino acids or natural oils for moisturizing.
Experiment with trial sizes of shampoos to find products that
suit you. Remember always to rinse hair very thoroughly after
shampooing to avoid any residue build-up. Also, be aware that
the condition of your hair changes all the time depending on
your health, chemical treatments and the weather. Products that
are perfect for you at one point in time may need to be changed
to allow for these variations. Shampoo your hair regularly to
keep the hair clean and the scalp healthy. Depending on the
environment in which you live and work, even washing your hair
once a day will not damage the hair as long as you use good
quality mild shampoo that does not strip all of the sebum from
the hair.
If you are using a special thickening shampoo be sure to use an
anti-residue shampoo once a week. Thickening shampoos work by
depositing product to adhere to your hair so it just looks
thicker. To help to soothe an itchy scalp, try adding a couple
of drops of pure lavender oil to the water that you rinse your
hair in after shampooing.
Herbs and botanicals smell excellent, but their affect on the
hair has never been proven. Low levels of moisture result in dry
hair. Shampoo can't do anything more than clean your hair. If
you may not require, hair from your scalp down to your shoulders
or waist is dead.
A 3-minute shampoo massage in slow, circular motions, using
fingertips (not nails) onto the scalp readies the hair for
rinsing. This can be followed up with a conditioner suitable for
the hair type, which may be rinsed out or left in, depending on
the individual’s status of hair health.
