I know, how hard can washing your hair be? It sounds stupid, but the technique you use to wash your hair actually has impact on the shine and bounce of your strands.
I used to wash my hair with reckless abandon. It was fun and only took seconds to clean my hair. But then, I learned better and learned these techniques:
1. Brush your hair BEFORE you get in the shower. It seems redundant, but it helps stimulate the scalp and minimizes the amount of hair that comes out while you wash in the shower.
2. Get your hair thoroughly wet.
3. Use only about a quarter-sized amount of shampoo and start massaging into your scalp. Start at the roots and work your way down.
4. Here's the difference: take two minutes to massage your scalp. Use your fingertips and massage your scalp and foots in a circular motion. Start at the crown and work outwards. Doing this massage will help stimulate the hair follicles for more hair growth.
5. Continue to add water to help the shampoo emulsify and work properly.
6. Rinse your hair so that all the shampoo is rinsed out. Condition and rinse with cold water to maximize shine!
