How much ginger water to wash your hair

When boiling ginger water for washing your hair, you usually use fresh ginger, cut it into about 20-30 slices, and add it to half a pot of water to boil.

Correct steps for washing your hair with ginger water

Washing your hair with ginger water is a traditional remedy for treating thinning hair, but many people do not pay attention to the steps of washing your hair, which greatly reduces the effect. The following editor will tell you the correct steps to wash your hair with ginger water.

1. Before washing your hair with ginger water, slice the ginger, add water and boil it to make a pot of thick ginger water to prepare for washing your hair. If you want to enhance the effect, use a juicer to squeeze the ginger juice directly, and then add it to your shampoo water.

2. During the shampooing process, the most important thing is to massage your scalp and soak it in ginger water. If you just do it in a hurry, the effect will definitely be bad, because the hair growth effect of ginger water has not yet penetrated into your scalp.

3. You must wash your hair with ginger water after your hair has been completely washed with shampoo. In other words, you should use ginger water to wash clean hair. Do not use ginger water directly to wash your hair when it is greasy, as this will prevent nutrients from entering your hair.

5. Wash your hair with ginger water. Since it is rinsed with clean water, there is no need to rinse it again. Do not apply conditioner. Just let your hair dry naturally.

How to wash your hair

Washing hair is a daily hygiene behavior that everyone must perform. Some people think it is better to wash their hair in the morning, while others think it is better to wash their hair at night. Now I will tell you how to wash your hair properly.

1. Blow dry your hair before going to bed

There are many harmful effects of sleeping with wet hair, such as catching colds easily, damaging hair scales, increasing hair loss, deteriorating hair quality, etc. Make sure your hair is more than 90% dry before going to bed. This can reduce damage to the hair cuticles and keep your hair smooth for a long time.

2. Don’t comb wet hair

After washing your hair, the hair scales are still open. If you comb your hair too many times at this time, the hair scales will be obviously damaged and the hair will become frizzy after it dries.

3. Don’t scratch your scalp with your nails

Although it feels nice to scratch your scalp with your fingernails while washing your hair, it will damage your scalp. The correct way to do it is to gently press the scalp with your fingertips.

4. Don’t pour shampoo directly on your head

It is best to pour shampoo into the palm of your hand, rub it evenly and then wash your hair. Pouring shampoo directly onto the scalp can easily cause chemical residues and is not conducive to foaming, which reduces the cleaning effect.

5. The water temperature should be around 40℃

Washing your hair with cold water is the most irritating to the scalp and may cause hair loss; washing your hair with too hot water can also damage the hair follicles.

6. It’s better to wash your hair less often

If your hair is not greasy, you should not wash it every day, because the hair scales will inevitably suffer some damage in the process of opening and closing.

7. Keep your head slightly lower when washing your hair

Many people stand upright when washing their hair in the shower, and the force of the water may cause more hair to fall out on the top of the head than elsewhere. A better way is to bend down and lower your head to heart level. This can reduce the impact on the hair and improve blood circulation in the head.

8. Use silicone-free shampoo

If your hair feels greasy and heavy, you can consider using a shampoo that does not contain silicone oil. This type of shampoo has a stronger cleaning ability and will feel more refreshed after washing.

9. Always dry your hair after washing it

After washing your hair, the hair scales are open, which means they are fragile, and some dust, bacteria and dirt can take advantage of the opportunity to enter. It is best to wipe the hair with a towel until it is 60% to 70% dry first to promote the closure of the hair scales, which will help reduce the damage to the hair caused by frequent use of shampoo.
