There are 5 taboos when washing your hair

A person must develop good hygiene habits and wash his hair every day. This is good for his hair and can also make his hair look smooth. The choice of shampoo is also very important. Using a bad shampoo will make your scalp look greasy. Washing hair seems simple, but in fact there are still many things to pay attention to. Here are some misunderstandings about washing hair:

Myth 1: The water temperature for washing your hair is too high or too low

When washing your hair, water temperature that is too high or too low will affect the scalp, irritate the scalp and cause it to secrete too much oil. In the long run, it will also affect the hair quality and cause damage to the hair. Therefore, when washing your hair, it is best to use water temperature of 37 degrees, which is close to human body temperature, and the effect is best.

Myth 2: Apply shampoo to wet hair

The correct step for washing your hair is to rinse your hair and scalp with warm water for more than one minute before applying shampoo. This will remove most of the dirt on the scalp first. Then pour shampoo into the palm of your hand and gently rub it with the palm of your hand until foam appears and then apply it to your hair. This will make the foam richer and less irritating to the hair.

Myth 3: Scratching your scalp with your fingers when washing your hair

This is something that many people will touch, and in most people's minds they think that this is the only way to clean the scalp. In fact, this is not the case, because there are many bacteria in the nails, and our scalp is relatively delicate. If it is scratched, it is easy to get infected and damage the scalp.

Therefore, after applying shampoo, use the fingertips to gently push the scalp. This process can not only clean the scalp but also massage the scalp to achieve the effect of activating blood circulation.

Myth 4: Not rinsing out the conditioner

Many people believe that the function of conditioner is to protect the skin, and leaving a little bit of conditioner on the hair can make the hair smoother. In fact, the residual conditioner can easily mix with dust and adhere to the scalp, clogging the pores and causing inflammation. Therefore, be sure to wash it thoroughly after applying conditioner.

Myth 5: Sleeping with wet hair

Hair is very weak when it is wet. If you go to bed with your hair half wet and half dry, the cuticle will become thinner and your hair will easily dry out.

Are you doing the right things when washing your hair in a healthy way?

1. Water temperature from high to low

When washing your hair, the water temperature should not be too hot, otherwise it will burn your scalp. Therefore, you can control the shampoo yourself, but the water temperature can be slowly lowered when washing your hair, so that the hair scales can be gradually closed and the hair will be smoother.

2. Don’t wash your hair for too long

The time for washing hair should not be too short or too long. If it is too short, the hair will not be washed clean. If it is too long, the shampoo in the shampoo will stay on the head for too long, which is not good for health. Therefore, the time for washing hair should not exceed five minutes.

3. Wash your hair correctly

Before washing your hair, first comb out the tangled hair, then start washing your hair. Wet your hair first. After about a minute, pour shampoo into the palm of your hand and dilute it with water. Then rub it until foam forms. Wash slowly from bottom to top, but do not scratch your hair or use your nails to clean your scalp. Use your fingertips or palms to gently rub your scalp and hair. If your hair is greasy, you can use shampoo again.

4. Wash your hair moderately

In the summer, you can wash your hair more often, every other day. In the north or in winter, two or three times a week is just right.
