Shampooing – technique and product selection
Do you always use the same shampoo, which lathers up quickly, every time you wash your hair? This is a mistake. Well, you should know that popular shampoos contain powerful detergents like SLS and SLES. These are responsible for the shampoo’s strong lathering action.
Unfortunately, they can also irritate the scalp and dry out the hair. It is therefore best to use gentle shampoos with natural ingredients in your daily hair care routine.
These shampoos do not foam as much, but they still have the ability to effectively wash your scalp. It is best to use a shampoo containing the above-mentioned detergents at most once every 2 weeks, in order to remove the rest of cosmetics or dead skin from the hair.
Now let’s focus on the technique of washing hair, because it is also a very important part of hair care.
First of all, we wash the scalp, not the hair itself.
Apply the shampoo to your hands and gently massage your head.
Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the hair itself because wet hair is more susceptible to damage. Your hair will be cleansed by the lather that will flow over it.
Also pay attention to the towel you use to dry your hair. Ideally, it should be a soft microfiber towel. A traditional rough towel can damage your hair.
Beware of the Hair Dryer
The hair dryer is traditionally touted as the biggest enemy to healthy hair. There is a lot of truth in this statement. However, you should know that using a blow dryer properly can actually help your hair healthier.
Firstly, wet hair is prone to damage, so it’s strongly advised against going to bed with wet hair. In this case, it is much better to use a hair dryer.
But remember not to dry your head with hot air, as it will definitely damage your hair. Choose cooler air and do not hold the hair dryer too close to your hair. When searching for the perfect hair dryer, look for a model with adjustable heat and airflow. The ionization option will also help to create a more manageable and smoother hair.

Oiling your hair
This is one of the most popular hair trends and it should come as no surprise. Oiling, or hair care using properly selected cold-pressed and unrefined oil, helps to smooth hair and improve its overall condition. With regular use of oil, you will notice results very quickly – after just a few applications of oil your hair is in noticeably better condition.
