As we all know, hair plays an extremely important role in a person’s image, and different hairstyles can give people completely different feelings. In this age of looking good, having healthy and shiny hair is undoubtedly the key to improving your image. However, many people have misunderstandings in the process of washing their hair, which leads to hair damage, hair loss and other problems. In order to help you master the correct method of washing your hair, today we will talk about how to wash your hair correctly and make your hair shiny. Washing hair is mainly to remove sebum from the scalp and hair roots, stains on the hair, and dandruff on the scalp and hair.

Preparation Before Washing Hair

You can comb your hair before washing, apply some hair treatment products if you need, and of course, choose a shampoo that suits your scalp.

1. Comb your hair

Be sure to comb your hair before washing it to ensure that the knots in your hair are smoothed out. This is designed to soothe the scalp so that dirt and dust attached to the scalp can float to the surface of the scalp, making it easier to clean. This can avoid hair knotting during rinsing, reduce pulling damage to the scalp, and reduce the risk of hair loss.

Method: Comb from the end of the hair, then to the root, until you can comb smoothly from the root to the end of the hair. It is best to comb the hair for more than 1 minute.

Note: Never comb from the roots of your hair, and don’t pull your hair too hard to avoid damaging the roots.

Tools: Use a comb with wide teeth and a round head to avoid damaging the scalp.

2. Apply Hair Care Products

People with long hair or poor hair can apply hair care products before washing their hair, which can reduce the irritation caused by washing their hair.

Method: Apply a mild conditioner to the ends of your hair and other areas where your hair is more fragile.

Note: Do not apply to the hair roots. When shampooing, the hair follicles are opened and the conditioner is applied to the hair roots. The chemicals in it can easily penetrate into and clog the hair follicles.

The time is moderate, about 5 minutes is enough. Once the effective time is exceeded, it will not only fail to nourish the hair, but also easily cause dryness and split ends.

3. Choose a shampoo that suits your scalp

Choose a shampoo that suits your scalp, which can clean hair stains, moisturize damaged hair, and relieve scalp hair loss.

Method: After washing with mild shampoo, identify the oiliness of the hair by wiping it with a paper towel. It can also assist in the identification of various oily scalp characteristics.

Note: Using a shampoo that is not suitable for the nature of your scalp will destroy the water-oil balance of the scalp, leading to dry hair, split ends, increased dandruff, and in severe cases, symptoms such as scalp seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss.

Hair Washing Time

1. Interval time

Due to different factors such as scalp oiliness, season, and whether you frequently engage in outdoor activities, you need to control the interval by yourself. For example, oily hair needs to be washed every day in summer and once every two days in winter; dry hair can be washed once every three days in summer and 4-4 days in winter. Wash once every 5 days.

Note: Frequent hair washing will destroy the metabolic environment and normal oil of the scalp, which can easily induce seborrheic dermatitis.

2. Specific time

Do not wash just after waking up or before going to bed. Considering the actual situation of work and study, it is recommended to wash after get off work or school in the afternoon.

Note: Do not wash in the morning. Just after getting up, the body’s blood circulation system has not recovered normally. Cold water will stimulate our head and speed up the blood flow, causing headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms. After getting up, wait 1-2 hours before washing your hair.

Do not sleep with your hair wet. The hair scales will not close when your hair is wet. Friction will easily cause hair loss. It will also make your hair dry and retain water in your scalp, causing cold symptoms. Long-term this will lead to blood stasis, and meridians blockage. close. After your hair is completely dry, wait 1-2 hours before going to bed.

Hair Washing Process

1. Hair washing posture

It is best to wash your hair with your face facing up, which is the common hair washing position in hair salons. If you wash it yourself, try to keep your hair downward, so that the dirt in your hair can be cleaned more cleanly.

2. Wet with warm water

Use hot water of about 40 degrees to thoroughly moisten your hair. The heat will open the pores so that the dirt in the scalp can be washed away. The time should not exceed 30 seconds. Long hair can take a slightly longer time.

3. Massage scalp

Activate blood vessels, relax muscles, and reduce stress through appropriate massage. Massage for more than 20 seconds and press more than 20 times.

4. Apply shampoo

Use shampoo products to clean the dirt in the hair and scalp. The shampoo products need to stay on the hair for more than 30 seconds. The shampoo needs to be relatively large and can be washed multiple times.

5. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly

Rinse off the shampoo products on your head with water at a lower temperature than before to avoid chemical residue and damage to the scalp and hair.

6. Wrap your hair with a towel and press dry

Wrap your hair in a large, thick towel. Then press dry and wrap your hair in a towel if you don’t have a drying cap. The cuticles of wet hair are open and easily damaged, so the moisture must be absorbed as quickly as possible to allow the cuticles to close. It takes about half an hour to dry naturally.

After Washing Hair

1. Apply hair treatment products

Using hair treatment products can neutralize the alkalinity in shampoo, keep the hair in an optimal state of weak acidity, replenish the missing moisture and nutrients of the hair, make the hair soft and smooth, maintain a healthy luster, and improve the blood flow to the scalp. , stimulate the hair papilla and hair mother cells.

Method: Apply the conditioner evenly on the hair, focusing on the ends of the hair. Use a comb to fully comb the hair to distribute the conditioner evenly and smoothly. Leave it on for ten minutes and then rinse it off at a lower temperature than when washing your hair before. .

Note: Oily and combination scalps should use less hair care products, and only apply them to the dryer ends of the hair.

2. Use a hair dryer

We use a hair dryer to dry the hair as quickly as possible while controlling the temperature and distance to close the hair cuticles and avoid hair damage.

Method: Use a high-frequency hair dryer to blow dry your hair with the wind moving at a distance of 15cm, starting from the back of the head and blowing forward. Move the hand without the hair dryer in a “Z” shape on the scalp, and finally use cold air to remove the heat. The opened hair cuticles are closed, which can improve the gloss. In addition, you can also use cold air to style after styling. If you want the bangs to be curled, you can blow them by pulling them.

3. Pay attention to sun protection

The amount of ultraviolet radiation received by hair is more than twice that of the face. Ultraviolet rays will cause hair scales to become thinner and peel off, and going out immediately after washing your hair can easily lead to short hair and split ends.

Method: Bring an umbrella or hat when going out in sunny weather.
