Have you noticed when you come to a hair salon your hairdresser will shampoo your hair twice? Here's why.....
When you shampoo your hair the first time it will only loosen up 1/2 the oil,dirt & styling products of the scalp. No matter how much shampoo you add or how long you scrub your scalp. It is after you rinse your hair and shampoo your hair a second time that the dirt ,oils and styling product are removed. Sometimes you may even have to do it a third time.
Why is this important? What's the big deal? Have you ever smelled someone's hair after they've only washed it once? How about this, you wash your hair and the next day it's greasy again?
The reason, one shampoo is not enough.
Also it is important to know the correct way to shampoo your hair. Most people pour a handfull of shampoo into their hand and they put it down on top of their head. Then they do the same with the conditioner, day after day after day. This will cause your hair to become soiled/greasier faster, lay flat and become dull and clog your hair follicles.
The correct procedure is :
* Wet hair thouroghly
* Apply a small amount (not a handfull) of shampoo to your hands (about the size of a 20=50 cent coin) rub through hands and apply all over you head.
* Massage shampoo through-out your whole scalp
* Rinse
* Repeat same process
* Rinse
* (If needed repeat again.!)
* Apply small amount of conditioner to your hands again the size of 20-50 cent coin, apply to midlengths and ends only! Massage condtioner through hair then comb through then rinse. Conditioner should not be applied to the top of your head as this will make your hair flat and life-less and will cause greasy roots, moisture is needed on your ends, and will work better as a detangler. If your hair is short apply only a tiny amount, the size of a 5-10 cent coin rub through hands and massage all over then rinse.
* Dry your hair gently with a towel by blotting it.
* Use a wide toothed comb to get all of the tangles out of your hair, starting from the ends and working your way to the top.
* Proceed with styling.
