Shampooing can be
done as often (ideally every alternate day) as required to keep the
hair clean and healthy, as long as you condition regularly. Switch
shampoos once a month to avoid hair buildup.
Method of
Shampooing
Prepare the hair
for shampooing. Before wetting your hair for shampooing, comb
through with a wide toothed comb to prevent tangles. Mix and adjust
the water flow. Mix the water to a comfortable temperature. Wet the
hair and scalp thoroughly. Apply the shampoo to the hair by first
pouring it into your hand and never directly. Apply with the hands
and fingers, massage firmly in rotating and circular movements.
Massage the whole head. Rinse the hair and scalp thoroughly and
carefully. Apply more shampoo and massage for the second time if
needed, finally rinse all shampoo from the hair and scalp with clean
water. Finally check the hair lines and make sure that the dirt and
shampoo has been removed from hair and scalp. Dry the hair gently.
Don't rub just blot the wet hair with a towel and then smooth the
towel along the length of your hair. Avoid blow drying as far as
possible. If you shampoo regularly there is no need to lather twice.
