How to wash your hair to keep it smooth and shiny

Many people face the problem of finding the right ways and tips to maintain good hair condition. UAportal has figured it out and compiled a list of practical care methods.

The right shampooing technique

When washing your hair, start by thoroughly wetting it with warm water to open the hair cuticles and ensure maximum cleansing. Then, apply a small amount of shampoo to your hands and gently massage your scalp with your fingertips, focusing on the roots, avoiding intense rubbing of the hair ends to prevent damage and breakage. Then rinse off the shampoo with cool water to help close the cuticle.

The right conditioning technique

After washing your hair, apply a small amount of conditioner, focusing on the ends and avoiding the scalp. It is recommended to use a wide-toothed comb to evenly distribute the product through the hair and gently detangle it. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes before rinsing with cool water. Dry hair with a towel, lightly dampening, not rubbing.

Additional care tips

Use a cleansing shampoo once a week to remove excess dirt and maintain a healthy scalp. For oily type owners, you should especially focus on washing the roots. Those with dry hair should choose mild, moisturizing formulas and consider a weekly deep moisturizing treatment. In addition, to preserve the strength and shine of your hair, it is important to protect it from damage by using a protective serum or spray when necessary.
