How do I wash my hair properly?
Washing your hair properly may seem super trivial, but in reality, many of us do it badly. Thick, shiny, beautifully shaped hair doesn't just happen. And often, spending hours examining the different hair products or ingredients in your shampoo or mask isn't enough. The simplest and most important step is washing your hair. Do you have flat hair? Maybe it's not the products you're using that are lacking in quality, but the way you're using them!
Below, we show you how to get the best results when it comes to washing your hair: follow this 13-step guide to get the perfect mane!
1. Comb your hair before washing
How do I wash my hair properly? The first step is to brush your hair. Brushing not only untangles knots but also rids your mane of a good deal of dirt that has accumulated day and night. Combing your hair before you wash it will make it easier for the soap to glide through under the spray, leaving it cleaner. It's also less painful to style when you get out of the shower, especially if you have fine hair. You should also be aware that hair is extremely fragile when it's wet. Combing it beforehand reduces breakage when brushing!
2. Choosing the right shampoo for your mane
We're stating the obvious, but the choice of shampoo is crucial, especially if you have problem skin. For example, excessive dandruff, an itchy scalp or scalp that gets greasy too quickly are often skin conditions that should not be taken lightly. If in doubt, leave your hair unwashed for at least 4 days. You'll soon see how it looks naturally and know what to do about the problem! You should choose your shampoo according to the condition of your scalp, not your lengths. So choose a shampoo for coloured hair if it's coloured...
3. Use less shampoo
Many people think that the more shampoo you use, the cleaner your hair will be. Not true, a dab the size of a 2 euro coin is more than enough to wash all your hair, whether you have short or long hair.
4. Don't wash the lengths, just the roots
Unless you've taken an oil bath, there's no reason to rub soap all over your hair. Hair is fragile, especially underwater. Rubbing it together with soap weakens it and creates split ends. When you wash your hair, you're actually washing your head. When you rinse, the shampoo will glide over the lengths and that's all you need to get your mane clean!
5. Massage your scalp
The right technique for washing your hair is important for healthy hair. Don't rub, massage the scalp with your fingertips. This way, the shampoo glides on smoothly and blood circulation is stimulated, which in turn stimulates growth and collagen production, essential for strong hair. If you have a difficult, dry scalp or one that needs a boost, try exfoliants specially designed for the scalp. They detoxify the skin, remove dead cells and boost blood circulation!
6. Wash your hair in cold water
Very sensitive to heat, hair prefers cold water. As the Scottish shower is not everyone's favourite moment, especially in winter, remember to lower the water temperature at least when rinsing. You don't need to use ice-cold water, but at least bring the temperature in line with your body temperature. By rinsing your hair in cold water, the shampoo is better able to dissolve, the scales are tightened and blood circulation is boosted. What's more, it's good for your skin too!
7. Always use a conditioner
The molecules contained in conditioner serve in part to close the hair scales after washing. This protects wet hair from environmental damage. If we had to give an order to the washing stages, it would be: mask for at least an hour, shampoo and conditioner.
8. Respect the application time of the conditioner
Don't expect to spend hours in the shower with your conditioner on your head. Conditioner is a treatment that detangles, closes the scales and makes washing less aggressive. It is not an extra-nourishing product that replaces your hair mask. Apply it to the lengths according to the instructions, which are generally between 2 and 10 minutes.
Leaving it on longer than this, or applying it even to the roots, risks causing your hair to lose all its volume and/or the scalp to become greasy. You can detangle your hair while applying conditioner using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb only.
9. Gently dry your hair
Next time you go to the hairdresser, pay attention to the way he or she dries your hair. He doesn't rub it as many still do. He wraps your hair in a towel and gently squeezes it to rid the fibre of water. The hair is then trapped in the towel for at least 15 minutes for best results. Make sure you use a microfibre towel to avoid any damage!
10. Don't wring out your hair
As we said earlier, hair is extra fragile when it's wet. Tightening your hair is guaranteed to make it brittle. Leave it to rest in the towel without touching it. And rather than wringing it out in the shower, use your hand to glide the water up and down.
11. Comb your hair gently
Once the hair is clean, it needs to be brushed again. This time, use a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush to gently detangle without breaking the fibre. Don't work on your hair when it's wet!
12. Avoid using heat to dry them
Ideally, air-drying should always be preferred to heat-drying. Because the proteins in the fibre react badly to heat, blow-drying is often a source of stress for the hair. Try to keep your hot blow-drying to a minimum, limiting it to exceptional occasions. Have no choice but to use a hairdryer? Turn the temperature down as low as possible!
13. Note the frequency of washing
If you wash your hair every 3 days, try to keep up this pace. If you notice that your hair is regrowing or not keeping up, there may be a problem or an imbalance. Your shampoo is no longer suitable, you're under too much stress or a hormonal change is affecting your skin... Finally, to keep your hair soft and shiny for longer, sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase or wrap it in a silk scarf at night. This fibre is softer than cotton, which is often hard on the hair fibre. Satin elastics are also excellent allies, especially if you tie your hair up to sleep.
