Stop damaging your hair: The right way to wash and dry
Many of us, when washing our hair, make the common mistake of vigorously rubbing the strands during shampoo application. Although it might seem that strong rubbing will help remove impurities more effectively, it can actually lead to damage.
Rubbing your hair causes the cuticles to open, leading to brittleness and dullness. During hair washing, it is crucial to use gentle massaging motions instead of vigorous rubbing.
Do not rub your hair while washing. Focus on the scalp
Gentle massaging of the scalp effectively removes impurities and stimulates blood circulation, promoting healthy hair growth. Remember to avoid aggressive rubbing when drying with a towel, as this can also cause damage.
How to wash your hair correctly?
It’s easy to make mistakes while washing your hair, which can cause damage. It's important for washing to last at least five minutes, allowing thorough removal of impurities and excess sebum. It is recommended to wash twice: the first wash removes impurities, and the second allows the shampoo's nourishing ingredients to work.
Pay attention to the appropriate water temperature. Water that's too hot can damage hair, so it's recommended to use lukewarm water and rinse with cool water to help close hair cuticles and add shine. For those with fine hair that tends to get greasy, it is suggested to use gentle cleansing shampoos that do not contain harsh ingredients like SLS.
