Gentle techniques for healthier hair: The right way to wash
Many of us, when washing our hair, make the common mistake of vigorously rubbing the strands during shampoo application. Although it may seem that strong rubbing will better remove impurities, in reality, it can cause damage.
Rubbing hair causes the cuticles to open, leading to brittleness and dullness. During hair washing, it's crucial to use gentle massaging motions instead of vigorous rubbing.
Do not rub your hair while washing. Focus on the scalp
Gentle massaging of the scalp not only effectively removes impurities but also stimulates blood circulation, promoting healthy hair growth. Remember to avoid intensely rubbing your hair with a towel after washing, as it can lead to damage.
How to wash your hair correctly?
It’s easy to make mistakes while washing your hair, which can lead to damage. It's important for washing to last at least five minutes to ensure thorough removal of impurities and excess sebum. It's recommended to wash twice: the first wash removes impurities, and the second allows the shampoo's nourishing ingredients to work.
It's also advisable to pay attention to the appropriate water temperature. Water that's too hot can damage hair, so it's recommended to wash with lukewarm water and finish with a cool rinse, which helps close the hair cuticles and adds shine. For those with fine hair that tends to get greasy, it's recommended to use gentle cleansing shampoos without harsh ingredients like SLS.
