Just like the skin on our face, our scalp is also part of our skin. Just as we pay careful attention to our facial skin, our scalp also requires delicate care. One of the fundamental and most frequent ways to take care of the scalp is through shampooing, and by shampooing correctly, we can better manage scalp health.
Today, let's take a look at the proper shampooing methods.
Proper Shampooing Techniques
-
Rinse the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
-
Dispense 25mm amount of shampoo into your hand, and before applying it directly to the scalp, create enough lather in your hands. Then, apply the lather evenly from the scalp to the ends of your hair.
-
Massage gently all over the scalp, as if massaging from the forehead.
-
Use the tips of your fingers, not your nails, to massage.
-
Since residual surfactants can irritate the scalp, do not rinse haphazardly; make sure to rinse with running water several times.
-
When removing moisture from the hair with a towel, avoid rubbing the hair with it, as it may damage the cuticles. Instead, pat the hair gently to remove moisture.
-
When blow-drying the hair, use cool air and dry from the scalp to the ends of the hair.
By following these proper shampooing techniques, we can maintain a healthier scalp and achieve better hair care results.
