Tips on Shampooing your Hair
How long should I rinse my hair after I shampoo?
Rinsing hair well after shampooing is important. The average time is 60-90 seconds, but two minutes is probably better and thorough rinsing may take longer if hair is very thick or long. Hair should not feel like it is coated. It is best to rinse hair with the water flowing in the direction of your cuticle, not against it-head is held back and water flows from forehead to back.
How should I treat my hair after I shampoo it?
Gentle handling of the hair after shampooing is important in maintaining healthy hair. After washing you need to blot the hair, don’t rub the hair dry. Rubbing can cause tangling and even breakage of brittle hair. After your hair dries or when it is damp, comb hair with a wide-tooth comb, holding sections of hair to gently comb through tangles.
What temperature should the water be when I rinse my hair after shampooing?
The temperature should be determined by what you want to achieve. A cool water rinse helps close the cuticle, which makes the hair feel smoother and look shinier. If hair tends to get oily quickly, cool or tepid water is recommended. Luke warm water stimulates oil production, so if your hair is dry, you may want to use Luke warm water instead of cool water. Remember never to apply anything hot to the hair, always wash hair with luke-warm water or cold water.
If my hair has a squeaky feeling when I shampoo my hair, does this mean it is clean?
A squeaky clean feel usually indicates that oils have been removed from the hair. However, it also may indicate a raised hair cuticle. Rely on a thorough rinsing rather than that squeaky clean feeling.
