How to wash and dry hair
Washing and drying
hair are imperative in keeping your hair long, shiny and lush. Since this is an
activity that varies wildly depending on hair length, type and products
available it's important to make sure you pick out the right routine for
you.
Washing
Start off my
thoroughly wetting your hair with warm water-do not use boiling or extremely
hot water as this will damage the hair and lead to thinning.
Use your favourite
shampoo and if you have oiled your hair beforehand, concentrate on your scalp.
Rather than putting
all your hair on the top of your head and rubbing it around to create a lather
like they show in the movies, gently massage your hair all the way down. Put
your hair in between your palms and rub gently. This will reduce tangles, knots
and breakage when it comes to brushing your hair.
Once you are satisfied that your hair is squeaky clean, use warm water to rinse away
the soapy suds. Pour the water over the scalp and let it run down the rest of
your hair gently sqeezing out any remaining lather.
Next-condition
It’s very important to always condition your hair using your
favourite conditioner, as this will calm down any frizz and make your life much
easier when it comes to brushing. Regardless of whether your favourite conditioner
is a leave in or not, it’s best to leave in your conditioner for a few minutes
in your hair to make sure that all of it is soaked up into the hair cuticles.
If your have really long hair you can tie up your hair during this period if
you wish.
When washing out the conditioner use cold water instead of
warm. The cuticles will close up much like the pores on the skin to prevent
dirt and debris from entering and causing damage. If pouring cold water over
yourself is uncomfortable then you can grab a bucket or go to the basin and
fill it with cold water and wash just your hair in that. It does not matter how
you wash the conditioner out so long as you use cold water.
Drying
When your hair is wet it is extremely vulnerable to damage
so you have to be careful to minimize any activities that are bad for your hair
at this point.
Part your hair into four sections. Firstly draw a line from
one ear to the other and part the section, and then make another line down the
midpoint so that you have four equal sections. Use a wide tooth comb to brush
each of the four sections. It’s best to air dry your hair-meaning leave it out
to dry on its own. If you have long hair you can tie up your hair into a simple
bun to keep it out of the way but periodically leave it out so that it all can
dry out.
Don’t use any blow dryers or hair dryers and if you can
abstain from using any hair products/gels or sprays, If you have extremely frizzy hair and need to
use a frizz serum then that’s fine but try not to use any unnecessary products.
