Steps to wash your hair with salt water:

2. Wash your hair normally

There is no need to pay extra attention to washing your hair. Just wash your hair normally. You can use shampoo when washing your hair, but the shampoo should not be too irritating, and the amount used should be less than normal shampooing.

3. Rinse thoroughly

A very important step in washing your hair with salt water is to make sure it is clean with clean water afterwards, especially the scalp. If residual salt water accumulates on the scalp, it may over-stimulate the scalp, causing dryness and itching, and even cause allergies in severe cases. Pay special attention to this step.

Using salt water to wash your hair can effectively prevent and treat hair loss. Generally, you should rinse your hair with clean water half an hour after washing it with salt water. This is because washing your hair with salt water greatly promotes the blood circulation of the scalp, and salt water also greatly promotes this process. At this time, if you can massage the scalp moderately, the effect will be better, but you must wash your hair with clean water after half an hour to prevent the residual salt water from damaging the hair.

You can massage your scalp more often, which can promote blood circulation in the scalp, strengthen nutrition of hair follicles, prevent hair loss and premature graying of hair, and also relax nerves and eliminate fatigue. Massage is the main method, and scratching and rubbing are avoided to avoid damaging the hair. Combing your hair frequently and avoiding long-term exposure to sunlight can also help prevent hair loss.
