Why a checklist of hair tips on washing and shampooing hair? Surely it's something most people do regularly without thinking. That may be so, but negligence or ignorance in this area of hair care can actually do damage.
Make sure you observe these guidelines when choosing and using a hair shampoo:
Hair Tip #1
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. (Sebum is the natural oil produced in the hair follicle which contains a natural antiseptic and protects the scalp from infection.)
Hair Tip #2
Do not use soap on your hair. Soap is too harsh and especially when used on your hair in hard water areas it can leave a sticky residue. Experimenting with a variety of quality shampoos designed for your hair type will help you arrive at one that you are happy with and that leaves your hair clean and shiny.
Hair Tip #3
Wash your hair in warm water and make sure you give time for the hair to soak thoroughly before applying the shampoo. As sebum is a natural oil it will not dissolve in cold water.
Hair Tip #4
Put a dollop of shampoo in the palm of your hand relative to the length of your hair and spread it between both hands. Now spread it over your head by stroking the shampoo through your hair to ensure even coverage.
