You wouldn’t think that shampooing is something that you could do incorrectly; but surprisingly, many people are using the wrong techniques!  Here are a few important tips:

  1. Use a dime-sized amount of shampoo–a quarter-sized if you have thicker or longer hair.
  2. Massage it into your scalp first, and do so gingerly–but don’t go overboard!  You could damage the skin.  (Be sure to use your fingertips and not your nails.)
  3. Don’t pile your hair on top of your head to shampoo it.  This leads to extra knotting.
  4. Run a comb through your hair before conditioning.
  5. Use the same amount of conditioner, and work it through the middle and ends of your hair first.
  6. If you condition your scalp, don’t do it every single time you shampoo.  This will only increase the amount of oil that’s already forming at the roots.
  7. When drying your hair, don’t rub it with the towel.  This will damage it!  Gently pat and squeeze it dry with the towel.
