Shampoo helps cleanse and keep your hair healthy. It’s that little magic wand that sets everything straight and helps you sail through a bad hair day. I’m pretty sure that most of us would have grown up with the shampoo. But it seems like most of us haven’t yet understood how to use it the right way. Shampoo mistakes might seem like a joke but they are a real thing. Hair fall, itchy scalp might be consequences of improper usage and you’ll never know about it at all. How you was your hair is an undeniably divisive topic. It might genuinely show effects on how your hair looks and feels.
Like I previously mentioned, hair can be washed in a trillion ways, it is a very subjective topic. Yet there are a few suggested methods that can ideally show better results when coupled with the best shampoo. Check out this list to gift your hair the best shampoo this season.
Here are a few steps that will probably do miracles if you haven’t gotten a chance to get hold of them ever before:

Rinse The Hair With Warm Water
Duh! I’m pretty sure all of you do this, but then again there is no harm in mentioning it, just in case you weren’t aware. Warm water is said to loosen excess oil and open up your pores. This increases blood circulation to a certain extent while helping you cleanse the scalp region thoroughly. Warm water aids deeper penetration of the shampoo into the scalp. Probably none of us apply shampoo before we rinse the hair. If you do it, then it is high time you put an end to it. Applying shampoo before rinsing will push you to spending more time trying to get rid of the shampoo. It is thus ideally suggested to rinse the hair with moderately warm water before playing around with the shampoo.

Do Not Apply The Shampoo Directly
Shampoo when directly put into the hair will result in the formation of blobs, not just wasting the shampoo but also hastening the process of making your oily. Dollops of shampoo applied directly do not serve the purpose, it is therefore suggested to lather them before applying them directly. Also, do not forget to mix some water while lathering. Mixing water will help spread the shampoo equally across the scalp. This would also reduce the amount of shampoo you use. Win-win isn’t it? Drop a dollop of shampoo on your palm, add some water and rub gently until it lathers, apply it over the scalp and try avoiding the tips because they are sensitive.

Choose A Shampoo That Suits Your Hair Type
The shampoo isn’t in your hair for that long, so it doesn’t really matter what kind you use, right? Wrong, say the pros. As with skincare, it is all about identifying your hair type and choosing a formulation best-suited for your needs. If you have oily hair, consider a purifying shampoo and steer clear of those that are overly-hydrating or moisturizing.

Massage The Shampoo Appropriately
More often than not most of us tend to use our nails while massaging the shampoo. But let me get this straight, the nails are flooded with dirt and bacteria and using them to cleanse sounds hypocritical enough doesn’t it? Using your nails to scrub, might also infect your scalp even before you know it. Hair is most vulnerably when it is wet thus abrasive scrubbing would no good in the least sense of it. Thoroughly massage your scalp with the fingertips and let the shampoo do its job. Here are some of the best shampoos.

Rinse Thoroughly
Use warm water to rinse of the first and the shampoo from your hair. Run your fingers through the strands until the shampoo seems detached from the scalp. Squeeze out the lather and ensure that your scalp has no shampoo left. Ideally you should then apply a conditioner, check out this list of conditioners that have recently hit the markets and know for doing magics.

Dry Your Hair
Do not, I repeat do not rub your with a towel to dry it. Hair is said to be extremely sensitive when it is wet thus you need to gently pat it and wrap a towel around it before blow drying it.
I bet that each one of us would have gotten to know at least one new thing through this that we performed differently before. With all of these details at hand let us probably put them to some good use.
