Don't do these stupid things when washing your hair

Blindly choose shampoo products

Everyone's hair is different, some are oily, some are dry, and some are mixed and neutral, so the shampoo products they should choose are also different. But in reality, we often use one bottle of shampoo for the whole family, which is unscientific. People with oily hair should choose shampoos containing chemical ingredients that inhibit sebum secretion, such as sulfur cream containing sulfur, shampoos containing ketoconazole and coal tar; people with dry hair should choose shampoos with higher protein content; and people with mixed hair should prepare two sets of shampoos, and choose moisturizing conditioners.

Water temperature is too low or too high

Many people often use colder water when washing their hair in the summer, and use extremely hot water when washing their hair in the winter. This is incorrect. Water that is too hot will burn the scalp and irritate the hair follicles; water that is too cold will cause the scalp to contract due to the cold, reduce blood circulation, and cause insufficient nourishment to the hair follicles, leading to hair loss. The water temperature for washing your hair must be moderate, generally based on body temperature, and around 37 degrees is best.

Wash your hair before bed

Because of work, many people are accustomed to taking a shower and washing their hair at night. At night, the human body's organs enter a resting stage. The residual water after washing your hair will form moisture and enter the scalp, which is particularly easy to clog the pores. The hair follicles are not well supplied, which will cause hair damage and hair loss. Therefore, the best time to wash your hair is in the morning, but be sure to dry your hair before going out.

Scratching your scalp with your fingernails while washing your hair

In order to relieve itching, many friends will scratch their scalp with their nails when washing their hair. Sharp nails can easily injure the scalp, allowing bacteria to enter and affecting the healthy growth of hair follicles. The correct way is to gently rub your scalp from front to back with your fingertips. This can not only accelerate blood circulation and promote hair growth, but also relieve nerve fatigue.

Dry your hair with a hairdryer

Many people, especially female friends, always use a hair dryer to dry their hair after washing. A hair dryer will generate a lot of hot air when working, which will not only burn the scalp, but also make the hair dry and frizzy, and accelerate the loss of moisture in the hair! In particular, some people always like to use a high wind speed to blow at the roots of the hair when blow-drying their hair, which makes it easier to damage the hair. The correct way is to not use a hair dryer or use it less often. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
