Taboos on washing hair

1. Wash your hair without combing it

"Without skin, where will hair attach to?" The scalp is very important to the hair. Before washing your hair, comb it with a wet comb to make the dirt and dust attached to the scalp float to the surface, so that you can clean your scalp and hair at the same time. To avoid damaging your scalp, it is recommended to use a comb with wide teeth and a round head.

2. Apply shampoo as soon as your hair is wet

Many people pour shampoo on their heads as soon as their hair is wet, not knowing that this will not clean their hair at all. Before applying shampoo, rinse your hair and scalp with warm water for more than 1 minute to remove 70% to 80% of the dirt. Then, pour the shampoo into the palm of your hand, add water to make foam and then apply it to your hair. This will create richer foam and thoroughly clean your hair.

3. Scratching your scalp with your fingernails when washing your hair

There are many bacteria in the nails, and once the delicate scalp is scratched, it is easy to induce infection. When applying shampoo, use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp, which can both remove dirt and promote blood circulation.

4. Apply conditioner to the hair roots

Since the hair follicles are opened when shampooing and the conditioner is applied to the hair roots, the chemicals in it can easily penetrate and clog the follicles. It is recommended to straighten the hair first, and then apply the conditioner to the ends of the hair along the ears towards the tips of the hair, making sure not to let the conditioner touch the scalp.

5. Not rinsing out the conditioner

Many people believe that leaving some conditioner on the hair can make it more moisturized. In fact, residual conditioner can easily mix with dust and adhere to the scalp, clogging hair follicles and causing inflammation. Therefore, be sure to rinse the conditioner thoroughly after applying it.

6. Sleeping with wet hair

When hair is wet, the hair scales are open. At this time, the hair is very fragile and cannot withstand friction. If you sleep with your hair half wet and half dry, it will cause the cuticle to become thinner and make your hair dry.

7. Go out immediately after washing your hair

Studies have found that the amount of ultraviolet radiation received by hair is more than twice that of the face. Ultraviolet rays can cause hair scales to become thinner and peel off. If you go out right after washing your hair, ultraviolet rays can easily cause your hair to break and split. If you go out, it is best to carry an umbrella or wear a hat to protect against ultraviolet rays.
