How
to Shampoo Your Hair
• Brush or comb hair well to loosen dirt and dead
skin cells from the head.
• Wet the hair with the help of a spray. It's
important that the hair is damped thoroughly and evenly.
Shampoo works best on very wet hair and conditioner
works best on gently squeezed-out hair. (Not so wet)
• Pour a teaspoon of shampoo in your left hand
and mix with little water.
• Massage this diluted shampoo gently into the
roots with the right hand fingertips covering the whole
of the head. Apply the shampoo starting at the front
hairline, then the crown and the back.
• With the flat surface of the hand, work that
shampoo into the bulk of the hair over the top layers. |

• Rinse with water until shampoo has been completely
washed off .Repeat the sequence if necessary.
• After shampooing, if your hair normally takes
a long time to dry, wrap your hair in a towel and allow
this to soak up the excess moisture. (Leave it on for
3 to 5 minutes to absorb moisture.)
• After about 10 minutes remove the towel and
comb the hair gently.
• Do not use shampoo to wash your body.
• Do not wash your hair with soap or other detergents
not formulated for the hair. They are highly alkaline
and will upset your hair’s natural pH balance
by stripping it of its natural oils.
• Bend your head while you are shampooing and
massage your scalp. This will increase blood circulation
to the scalp.
• Condition your hair after shampooing if your
shampoo does not have a conditioner.
Frequency of use of shampoo depends on many factors.
It is mainly based on type of hair and skin type and
also environmental conditions. If the hair is greasy
and atmosphere is dusty and climate is hot then you
would need to wash it frequently, even alternate days.
Frequent washing with mild and good quality shampoo
is not harmful for the hair. |
