Rivers of ink have been written about how many times you have to wash your hair, if it is good every day, twice a week ... if that was not enough, every day the currents get stronger #nopoo or without shampoo to space washing and even as in very extreme cases, avoid them for months as in the case of Virginia Tapp for an ecological issue and respect for the environment as to avoid chemicals that attack your hair ... So, we tell you if there really is that wash your hair from the hand of experts and some alternatives to shampoo that can space your hair washes. But is all that glitters in the stream #nopoo or without shampoo? The experts respond.

"We all wash our hands with soap (not only with water) when we want to have them clean, however, we do not wash our hands every five minutes because it is not beneficial for the skin, the same thing happens here, you have to wash your hair with shampoo in its proper measure and always with a shampoo that is soft to the scalp and suitable for our hair type.Using a mask or conditioner is always beneficial because it will soften the cuticle, but if they are used without having previously washed the hair You have to count on the fact that they are going to be added to dirty hair, like using deodorant without showering, "says Maria Castán , Wella's global scientific expert.

Cowashing: can the conditioner replace the shampoo?


Every time there are more adepts to cowashing or to use a conditioner that respects the hair and the environment to clean their hair instead of shampooing or to space their washes. But is it really good for the hair?

Isabel Márquez , director of R + D + i of Fridda Dorsch , tells us that "in the environment there are many suspended particles, smoke, dust, odors ... besides the own sweat and sebum that we generate naturally, so for these reasons, no doubt, it is necessary to maintain regular washing habits.However, it is true that the synthetic residues accumulated in the hair, make it easier for this type of substance to adhere and therefore, the hair becomes more dirty and before. "


Shampoos without sulfates, natural ... choose the one that suits you the most!

And in addition to that we must add that sulfates, present in most hair shampoos dry hair for its aggressive assets and can generate a rebound effect on the secretion of sebum, according to the expert, because "the body detects that its natural protection is being removed aggressively and it reacts generating more sebum, so we recommend a gentle wash with gentle, sulfate-free natural cleansing agents. "

And is that the Spanish organic cosmetics firm has a specific conditioner formulated with natural ingredients and group B vitamins, zinc and vegetable oils that soften and prevent breakage and fall and also, the entire product is biodegradable, leaves no residue in hair and keeps the hair clean longer by lengthening the need to repeat the wash.

To improve the appearance of the mane after washing, the doctor and scalp expert, Sergio Vañó , also recommends in addition to washing some tricks and good cosmetic practices such as insisting on a good rinse and making another last rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle.

Masks or conditioner for your hair: you choose!


The main purpose of a shampoo is to remove dirt and grease from the hair, to clean the hair. Daniel Campbell , hair expert at Lush Cosmetics , however, points out that "a co-wash or conditioner is also designed to condition and clean the hair in the same way as the shampoo, maintaining that" the worst thing we can do is remove all the sebum of our scalp , since those oils are there to protect our hair and the function of co-wash is to gently cleanse the hair and condition it by removing excess fat and smoothing the cuticle to seal the hair. "

The fresh British cosmetics firm, which carries out campaigns in favor of environmental preservation, has Avocado co-wash rich in fresh avocado and olive oil to hydrate hair, rosemary, infusion of nettle and lavender, toning effect of the scalp and cider vinegar that adds shine.

How much can we be with unwashed hair


According to Dr. Sergio Vañó, there is no problem in washing your hair frequently both daily and every two days and "it is the healthiest thing to keep it clean and eliminate seborrhea and scales of the scalp," he says.

Because if you do not wash, "the seborrhea will cause a dirty appearance of the hair, and even many patients who have predisposition to dermatitis of the scalp can get worse so we recommend even wash it daily with specific anti-dermatitis shampoos," says the expert.

In addition, the expert insists that medically there is no contraindication in washing hair and frequently and that hair washing is never going to be the cause of the hair falling over or will be the cause of any alopecia "because these they are produced by damage to the hair root that is a deep structure 3 millimeters from the skin of the scalp where shampoos do not reach ".

Isabel Márquez , director of R + D + i of Fridda Dorsch assures us that hair washing depends on each person, if we touch a lot of hair, our hormonal situation, our diet ... but the ideal is to do it with organic shampoos and natural In fact, the firm has made comparative tests to 50 women to see the different between their regular shampoo and organic shampoo and 94 percent of her noticed a looser and brighter mane with the second delaying the repetition of the wash even a week .

"When we change our habit of capillary cleaning from a shampoo with sulfates to another that performs the washing with soft natural ingredients, in two or three washings the scalp regulates the secretion of sebum downwards by detecting a gentle cleansing. in the same way, the absence of silicones and sulfates in the hair, makes it remain loose and bright for longer, "says Márquez .

On whether or not there is an ingredient that cleans the hair without shampoo

After hearing that the natural banana mask and bicarbonate can clean the hair, we wonder if there is an ingredient that does that "cleaning" function of our hair. And the answer is yes.

"Instead of conventional soaps or sulfates, we incorporate our active natural hair products derived from coconut, which have proven to be very effective in emulsifying and eliminating fats in the hair, as well as the different substances that adhere to the hair, but in a gentle way. always preserving capillary health "says Márquez.

Also do not forget that some foods rich in antioxidants, omega 3 and essential fatty acids have important benefits for hair and "help maintain the quality and repair of our cells delaying the effects of aging as it also occurs in the hair", concludes Márquez .

Cleansing powders that work for your hair


It has also been debated a lot if the powder shampoo works to clean the hair and Daniel Campbell from Lush Cosmetics assures us that yes. "The talc and the corn starch of our No Drought shampoo absorbs excess oil from the hair and the oils ensure that the hair stays shiny and smooth, in addition to its texturizing effect that adds extra volume to your hair", states .

Masks and other hair treatments


As for the masks and cleansing hair treatments , each one has a function, olive oil provides hydration, sea salt, volume, clay, protection for the scalp and honey and mint, thicken and They volumize fine hair , Campbell tells us .

But of course, always accompanied by gentle cleansing cosmetics that do not endanger the health of the hair or the environment. Do not forget that Lush has been a pioneer in launching the solid shampoo that saves plastic and product in each wash, keeping your hair clean and saving the dumping of tons of plastic to the oceans.

In recent years the habit of washing your hair every few days has become more famous than doing it every day. And although this may sound totally contrary to what we are taught from childhood; Yes, there are benefits to doing so. And here we will answer your questions about it.

That's why the famous dry shampoos are part of the collections of almost any beauty brand today. These magical products help to cleanse and absorb the sebum that forms naturally on the scalp for days when washing hair is not an option (or you want to take advantage of that visit to the salon that left you with a spectacular hairstyle).

But let's get back to the point ...

What are the benefits of not washing your hair every day?

Hair softer, silky, strong and shiny. Sold! These are some of the great benefits of keeping hair unwashed for a few days.

How?

When washing the hair, the natural oils produced by our scalp are eliminated, which are not really bad, and help to nourish the hair strands. If we perform this process every day, we are causing the root to dry out and the hair loses its strength, shine and is prone to breakage. That's why, sometimes, long hair suffers from split ends and feels dry; since the natural hair oil does not manage to reach the tips because we wash it before that happens.

It's for everyone?

The truth is that it depends on the type of hair you have. The best candidates who should avoid washing their hair every day are: Chinese hair, dry, with chemical processes, thick or mature people. It would be recommended that these people try to wash their hair every few days -between 2 to 5 days-.

On the other hand, people with hair: thin, very straight, with oily scalp or hair problems such as dandruff; It would be more advisable to wash it often. They could alternate every other day if they do not feel that their hair is allowed without being ultra-greasy (because nobody wants that).

So if I'm not a candidate, will my hair be damaged?


No. Actually, your hair has a faster ability to carry the natural oil to your tips between each wash. We could say that it moisturizes itself in less time.

And if for some reason you feel that you need an extra, capillary masks will always be a great option.

And how do I keep it clean - even when I exercise?


As I mentioned previously, dry shampoos are a great tool to eliminate odors, sebum and even sweat after an exercise. To use it, divide the hair into sections and apply the product directly on the scalp along the head. Wait a few seconds and then give a gentle massage to extend and absorb the shampoo better. Brush the hair to finish, and stylize as you like.

The importance of a good wash to have healthy and shiny hair


That your hair is shiny and silky after washing it, goes beyond using a good shampoo and conditioner. You must know how to use them. Here are some tips so you can do it correctly.

    1. Before washing the hair, brush it to remove particles of dirt and traces of dead skin.

    2. Wet your hair with plenty of water.

    3. Apply the shampoo on the palm of your hand and wash the hair with the tips of your fingers (not the nails), giving   a gentle massage from the root to the entire hair. Very important: The roots when in contact with the leather   Scalps are dirtier so they need more cleaning than the tips.

    4. Rinse your hair with warm water until the foam is completely removed.

    5. If you think it is convenient, repeat the washing so that it is perfectly clean.

    6. Apply the soothing cream or the media mask to tips, avoiding the scalp so as not to   caking the hair root.

As we have commented one of the most important aspects is to control the temperature of the water ...

Hot water is NOT beneficial for your hair, since it opens the cuticle. Before applying the shampoo, wet the hair with warm water to open a little the cuticle and begin to remove the accumulated dirt on the scalp (fat, residues of fixation products ...). Keep using warm water to remove the shampoo and rinse the conditioner. Finally, let cold water fall on your head, at least for about 30 seconds; the cold allows the cuticle to close well and the hair to look silky and shiny.

Ana Morales - @anamorales_rom - Think about it, I 'm sure that on more than one occasion you've seen yourself 'involved' in some conversation that revolved around hair washing , especially regarding its frequency. And is that the debate on whether it is good to wash every day has always been there. And, from time to time, it even becomes a topic of conversation (in the hairdressing salon and among any group of women talking about beauty things). That's how it is. However, we may not talk so much about its step by step . Probably you thought -I the first before writing this article- that the washing was reduced to applying the shampoo (once or twice, there is another debate), clarifying, applying the conditioner and ending with a cold water jet for that of giving more shine to the hair. However, properly washing the hair is not just that. Because you may not be doing everything right, we summarize the perfect process of hair washing. And we warn: by following all the steps your hair will be prettier, brighter and (oh, yes!) It will last you more clean time.

First, brush

It is essential that you untangle the hair before washing it. And is that this gesture exfoliates the scalp, removes the remains of products, stimulates blood circulation and prevents hair from getting tangled in the wet, while facilitating the penetration of the shampoo.

How to apply the shampoo

It may seem banal, but it is not at all. And the way in which you apply the shampoo will determine the effectiveness of the wash. According to Adolfo Remartínez , creator of the mythical onion shampoo of Nuggela & Sulé , it must be moistened with lukewarm water before and never exceed the amount of product. And then it is important not to apply the shampoo directly on the hair, but first in the hands and then distribute it in the hair. But keep this in mind (here is the crux of the matter): work the shampoo only on the root and let the rest of the hair be cleaned with the foam that is falling from middle to ends, without adding more shampoo and without rubbing.

The importance of massage

The colorist of the celebs, Christophe Robin , insists on the importance of taking time when massaging the hair during the application of the shampoo. He says it is the secret of beautiful hair and that it should be done by lifting the roots of the hair and massaging the scalp by lifting it slightly to stimulate blood circulation.

Should I apply the shampoo twice?

Although if you wash your hair very often you can apply the shampoo only once, the expert from Nuggela & Sulé recommends applying it twice, once as a cleaning gesture and the second as a massage. And the massage, according to the expert, should last about three minutes.

The importance of clarification to have more volume

According to Robin it is necessary to take our time again in this step because it will depend on us having more volume in the hair . That is why he insists on the need to clarify it well, without leaving any remaining shampoo in the hair, and finish with a cold stream of water . "There is nothing more effective for a natural shine," explains the expert, who remembers that the cold closes the hair cuticles and prevents the scalp from greasing.

Beware of the conditioner

And is that, apply the conditioner and let it fall on your back while you soaping, can have negative consequences on your skin . This was explained by the dermatologist of Kendall Jenner : the oils of these products can touch the skin, adhere to it and clog the pore. Hence, his recommendation is to apply the conditioner and pick up the hair at the top of the crown while you soaping your body to avoid this problem.

And the eternal question, how do I know what product I need?

Choosing the right product is also essential for the washing to work. To know if you have dry or oily (and choose the type of shampoo), Rafael Artero , Pantene shampoo , recommends putting this trick into practice: open a line on your scalp and observe its color. If the color is pink, it is healthy. If it has an opaque or grayish color, you may have a blood circulation problem and also dry hair. And if it is a yellowish color, they are indications of fat tendency. Depending on the result, you can choose the shampoo that best suits your needs.

How often do you have to wash your hair, according to science

All your life listening that you have to wash your hair more often to discover that, perhaps, and without knowing it, you were partly right. Surely more than once you have asked yourself what is the true frequency with which we should wash our hair. This is what science says .

The truth is that from the moment you get out of the shower, your hair begins a gradual process where as the days go by it becomes brighter, dark and greasy. This happens for the same reason that your face becomes greasy: the glands of the skin produce an oily substance called sebum. Sebum is what moisturizes the hair and prevents it from drying out.

The glands that produce sebum (called sebaceous glands) are found next to the roots of the hair in the layer of skin called dermis. The channels of the sebaceous glands lead to the hair follicle, and this is how the sebum leaves the skin and reaches the scalp as we can see in the following image:

"The key to sebum is that each of us produces a different amount. All this, from genetics and hormones, affects the amount of sebum we produce at a given time."

In addition, the hormones responsible for the production of extra sebum soar during puberty, which is what causes many people to have more oily hair and acne during those complicated years.

Knowing this, how often do you have to wash your hair? Although the answer can not be universal, since it depends on each person, we can find some common places. The first and most obvious: experts indicate that no one should have to wash their hair every day, a myth that has been repeated many times over time.

Moreover, according to the dermatologist and director of the Boston Medical Center hair clinic, Lynne Goldberg, washing too often can do more harm than good:

    It is paradoxical, but people who wash their hair a lot to get rid of dirt, dry the scalp and produce more oil.

In addition to avoiding washing your hair (with shampoo, it is understood) every day, there are other things to keep in mind when trying to determine the correct amount of washing for each one. These are the most important factors:

The type of skin: obvious. Experts explain that if your skin and hair are somewhere in between (you do not have super fat or very dry hair) at the time of drying, you probably only need to wash it once or twice a week, as indicated in a research from Columbia University. On the other hand, if you have a fatty scalp, you will probably need to wash your hair more often, 3 to 4 times.

The texture of the hair:
this point is very important because it affects the speed with which the sebum acts from the roots to the length of your hair. Rough or curly hair slows the spread of sebum, so if you have this type of hair, you may only have to wash it once a week, experts at Columbia explain .

However, people with thin, straight hair probably need shampoo at least twice a week or even three.

Use of treatments: the last factor includes all those treatments and products that you use (or do not use) daily or very frequently. In that case, and if your hair undergoes enough transformations of style or is damaged, experts recommend that you should wash it less often.

Having said all this, probably the best way to find out which side your hair is based on these experts' recommendations is to try washing days without them. No one better than you and common sense to know what is best for your hair.

How to properly wash your hair

Do you wash your hair well? Are you sure?

You may never have given it more importance. But, did you know that depending on how you wash your hair it can look much healthier and brighter? These are the right steps to wash your hair well.

All Natural Hair Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Serum (8.5 oz Shampoo & Conditioner + Serum Bundle)




Choose the shampoo well


You have to wash your hair with a shampoo suited to your hair type. The formulas focus on fixing common problems such as dandruff, excess fat, lack of volume ...

Wet well


If you have a lot of hair and do not soak it completely before applying the shampoo it will not foam. Take a few seconds to wet your hair thoroughly.

Dry to touches


Rubbing the hair with a towel is not a good idea. Dry your hair giving soft touches.

Do not skip the conditioner


It is essential for the mane to be shiny and hydrated. Apply only from medium to ends and let it act while you soaping the body instead of clearing it directly.

Clarifies well


It is one of the most important moments of washing because it is when we remove all the waste. Both after the shampoo and the conditioner and the mask, it is worth stopping a few minutes to remove all the product remains. A final rinse with cold water will make your hair brighter.

Use a good comb


It's not worth it if you spend a fortune on a quality shampoo if you're going to unravel with a plastic brush. Choose natural fiber combs to protect your hair.

Cheats for manes XL


Detangle a very long hair while wet can be an impossible task, especially if you have thin. When applying the shampoo or conditioner, pass the fingers from middle to ends to remove the knots that have been formed when washing the hair.

Wear a mask once a week


Or two if you have very damaged hair. Do the same as with the conditioner, apply only from medium to ends and let it act as long as the container indicates. From time to time, you can apply the mask with dry hair and leave it on for half an hour.

Unravel before


If you have your hair in a tangle before washing it, once wet it will be very difficult to undo the knots and your hair will split easily. Apply a few drops of capillary oil before and comb it before entering the shower.

Rub gently


Washing your hair should be a pleasant activity. Massage the product with the fingertips on the scalp to form foam. Wash the media and the tips without rubbing so as not to break the hair fiber.



If your hair does not look as nice and healthy as you would like it is very possible that you are not treating it as you should. And, although it may seem silly, it is very likely that much of the damage you are causing it-without realizing it-when washing it. We are going to remedy it.

The 10 golden rules to wash your head well


  1.     Brush your hair well before. You comb and brush daily, but before washing it? You are right. This way you eliminate all the residues that may have accumulated (like the remains of a fixing product) and improve its cleaning.
  2.     Wet all the hair well. If you wet it just a little and apply the shampoo right away, it will not emulsify well.
  3.     The right shampoo. You should choose it based on the needs of your hair. Dry, oily, curly, dyed hair ... There is one for each type of hair.
  4.     Rub gently. Unless you do not wash your hair for a week, it is not necessary to rub as if we were to shine the scalp. The only thing that we will achieve is to activate the sebaceous glands and that the hair gets dirty before.
  5.     Always use a conditioner. The shampoo only cleans and the conditioner will provide hydration, repair and control to your hair. In case the hair is very thin, opt for a conditioner for fine hair and without rinsing.
  6.     If the hair is long. Use the shampoo kneading it with your fingers, from root to ends, to unravel it without hitting jerks. It is one of the tricks to have the most soft and shiny hair , and with this you will close the hair cuticle.
  7.     Clarify very well. Do not skimp on water and take your time. Not clarifying it well is usually one of the causes of scaling and irritation of the scalp ... Or that it gets dirty faster!
  8.     Wear a mask Many women may find them dispensable, but if they are applied once or twice a week, the hair always looks much more hydrated and shiny.
  9.     When drying it with the towel. Try not to do it vigorously, do not rub too much, as this will prevent the cuticles from reopening. Do it with small touches.
  10.     When untangling. Use a special natural fiber brush for extensions or for fine hair. These brushes do not break the hair or give jerks and cause less friction.

An original trick


Use a bottle Of course it is not essential. But why not try it? If you mix the dose of shampoo in a bottle with warm water you will see that, apart from spending less shampoo, it is easier to distribute and the hair will stay cleaner.

Coal Tar Psoriasis Shampoo Psoriatrax 25% Coal Tar Solution 12oz Bottles- Psoriasis - Equivalent to 5% Coal Tar (2 Bottles)

How to wash hair without Shampoo

No poo, variation of the English no-shampoo (without shampoo), is a current trend that advocates not to wash your hair with shampoo as they consider that their chemicals are harmful to the hair.

A trend that recommends washing your hair only with water or natural products, such as baking soda or vinegar, in case the hair is very greasy. His followers tell us how they look like healthy hair.

However, many dermatologists do not agree with this trend. They claim that there is no scientific evidence that fat secretion regulates itself over time. They assure that bicarbonate or vinegar have a very high and low pH, respectively. So they can irritate the scalp.

On the other hand, we "no-poo" tell us that over time, the commercial shampoo may be that some people with the most delicate hair, can be harmful. It can end up damaging it, so it would be advisable to use natural products that respect their pH. The oily hair gets dirty easily, so you have to wash it more often, which can harm us, as some commercial shampoos can damage the natural protective layer of our hair. There are natural alternatives to wash the hair , using exclusively these natural products we can keep our hair clean and healthy.

The nopoo experience of Katherine Martinko and Margaret Badore, 6 months later.

Katherine Martinko with Margaret Badore (both editors of treehugger.com), decided to conduct an experiment which involved a radical change in the way they wash their hair, they would leave the shampoo and only use baking soda and apple cider vinegar. In theory the experiment should last a month, but Katherine has not been able to stop because of the results.

In July he turned 6 months and today we bring you his experience told in the first person:

It's been six months since I stopped using shampoo. It all started as a one month experiment, when my editor asked me if I would like to try the "no poo" method only in the month of January. I reluctantly accepted, and along with Margaret Badore, I plunged headlong into the world of extremely alternative hair care. Our experiment resulted in this post: " The experiment without shampoo ". While Margaret left it a month, I continued to 'wash' my hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar.

I never dreamed that I would still be doing this in early July, but here I am, faithful to the "no poo" method with no intention of returning. There are so many things that I like about him, I tell all the people who are curious about my strange habit of hair washing.

There was almost no adaptation period for me, I think it's common in people with very thick hair, or hair that does not wash more than once or twice a week. The biggest obstacle for me was psychological and getting rid of the fleeting smell of salad in the shower when I washed my hair with vinegar for the first time. Do not worry - it goes away immediately and there is no residual smell.

My hair is every day more healthy and manageable, more and more the longer I avoid the shampoo. It becomes less greasy and I can spend more time washing, usually 4-5 days. It is softer, brighter, and less curly than before. I have less bad days for my hair, and I can get the natural, loose curls that I like with a little coconut oil, rubbing it on damp hair.

There have only been twice that I have used natural shampoo instead of baking soda and vinegar, and that was when I traveled to Honduras and Mexico. Both times I thought it was better not to be asked about a strange white powder in my luggage. I noticed a big difference after washing myself with shampoo. My hair was drier, and it looked more greasy only in two days. I also noticed that my scalp itched after using the shampoo.

In six months, I've only spent one carton of baking soda and half a bottle of vinegar. There are no empty plastic bottles of shampoo in my house, no conditioner to throw in the recycling bin, no end of hair care products that I bought to tame my hair.


If the "no poo" method has intrigued you, why not give it a try? The result may pleasantly surprise you. This is what I do:

I put 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a 500 ml glass bottle. Fill the jar with water and stir to dissolve the baking soda. I made it through my head and rubbed my hair. Rinse I put 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in the same jar. I add the water, pour over the head, and rinse almost immediately.

(These amounts are for long hair.) If yours is short, use 1 tablespoon of baking soda and vinegar in 1 cup of water.If your hair does not look clean enough once it dries, use a little more next instead of bicarbonate).

Choose the shampoo well


We always start badly, most of us trust more of their nose than the label of the product. In a study that P & G did a couple of years ago, up to 70% of people made the decision to buy a shampoo simply because the smell was nice. Crass error: the needs of your hair determine the final result and, to know them, what you have to fix is ​​at the root. And do not obsess over fat. The product's detergents are going to eliminate it, but its mission is to balance it, not make it disappear forever from the face of the Earth. If you do away with all the lipids on your scalp, the skin becomes dehydrated and the brain sends the signal that more is produced to compensate. So the only thing you get to exaggerate in the wash is a rebound effect and an overproduction of sebum.

Untangle before wetting hair


The hair is brushed dry before washing. Yes, almost everyone does it the other way around. And that's why we have such a high rate of hair cut in our hair. You discover them against the light, they are that halo that surrounds your head when you have just dried your hair and you have not started with the plates yet. Stopping it is simple: it unravels dry. First, because brushing mobilizes and removes the dirt deposited on the roots and then it is easier to eliminate it. Second, because wet hair is much more fragile, has cuticles open and is unprotected, so it is easier to break.

Wet it first


And do it without fear, with plenty of water. It will not clean, but it is essential for the shampoo soap to emulsify.

So the shampoo is applied well


It is given only and exclusively at the roots. It is not necessary to serve industrial quantities on all the hair, however long it may be. What you have to wash is the root because that's where the grease, dirt, the remains of styling products and pollution accumulate. The rest of the hair only needs a foam pass at the end of the soap. And never directly put a glob of shampoo on your hair. It is impossible to distribute well if you do so. You have to serve the size of a spoonful in one hand and apply it with the other. The most purists even dilute it in a glass of warm water before applying it. Although that enters already in the category of washing of gourmets.

Lava from back forward


It always starts at the temples, then goes to the nape area, then to the crown of the head and finally to the front. You have to do it in this order to not leave any. Generally, the one that always comes out is that of the temples, and that is why it is usually the first to get dirty.

The rubbing has to end


It is the biggest mistake we all make. And, apparently, it has to do with the Spanish idiosyncrasy. In our country we are committed to burnish and give splendor and treat our heads as if they were the paella of Villarriba. But not only is it not necessary, it is that, in doing so, we are overstimulating again the sebaceous glands to produce more fat. And probably we are also irritating the scalp and unbalancing the pH of that area of ​​the skin. What you have to do is emulsify, with the fingers of both hands crossing in parallel to reach everywhere, but without nailing them to consciousness (and even less the nails). The shampoo surfactants are already responsible for attracting dirt like a magnet and the water will take care of eliminating it.

The conditioner, only from medium to tip


And that is the other most common mistake. This product serves to soften the hair and make it comb better. But if it is applied to the roots it contributes weight and produces fat. You just have to apply it from means to points. If you do it wrong, your hair will get dirty much sooner. The same principle applies to masks. Never in the root, always from means to ends. But if you follow this advice to the letter and then place the hair in a bun at the top of your head so that it stays there while it has its effect, what you are going to get is that the product ends up in the roots. Always pick it up on the neck, so that the mask is not distributed in other areas without you noticing.

You have to clarify very well and with water


There can not be a remainder of the product. And we talk about both the shampoo and the conditioner. In a Pantene campaign throughout Spain in which thousands of heads were analyzed, the result was that 75% of them had shampoo remnants. Of course, it is not necessary to let it act. The shampoo works by negative ions and is very fast. Keeping it a few minutes in the root as if it were a mask is not only an error, it can also create a problem of dehydration.

And once the hair is well rinsed, the styling begins. But that is another story that deserves to be told on another occasion.

How to wash your hair correctly step by step

Wash your hair it's something we all do (almost) on a daily basis but do we know how to do it correctly? Maybe we are doing it wrong and we realize that not only can remain remains of shampoo or mask, but also we see that the hair does not shine as it should or does not seem as clean as we might expect. Let's see below how to wash the hair correctly step by step.

The importance of washing the hair correctly:

It is very important to always have clean hair, not only for a matter of hygiene but also for aesthetics and of course, for hair health. If we do not clean the hair well, we run the risk of ending up with the natural fat that it has and with it, we will notice that the hair weakens, breaks and even falls.

On the other hand it is easier to maintain the hairstyle if we wash our hair incorrectly, because if for example we leave the shower with traces of shampoo we will notice that the hair looks greasy or if you apply a fixative product, it will not hold. Washing your hair correctly is not complicated, you just have to follow the steps that we now indicate.

Steps to wash the hair correctly:

  • Before going into the shower, brush your hair carefully, this will help to untangle the knots in the case of having long hair, which prevents hair breakage and also helps to eliminate residual hair styling products.
  • Choose a shampoo that is suitable for your hair type, whether thick, dry, brittle, etc. At this point, carefully wet the hair with warm water, not too hot, otherwise it will dry the scalp, If you wash it with warm water you ensure that the water will protect it, will produce more sebum and, therefore, will look cleaner once you've finished.
  • Place a small amount of product in the palm of your hand (more or less, depending on the length of your hair, and then massage the shampoo on your scalp with gentle circular motions.
  • It starts from the neck to the back of the head and up to the top, then moves the fingers to lengths. Also wash the area well behind the ears. This is an area that is often overlooked, but it is a breeding ground for fungal infections.
  • The rinsing process begins with hot running water in the hair. Lift the hair so that the water can flow along the hairline. Then squeeze the excess water in your hair with your hands, gently.
  • Now apply the conditioner or mask along the hair, massage gently, avoid the scalp, to avoid the product can block the follicles and hinder hair growth. Leave the conditioner or mask for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water.
  • Do not rub your hair. Cold water will seal in moisture and keep your hair supple and soft.
  • When you are finished, avoid scraping the hair with towels, but dry gently with a microfiber towel and leave it on the head to absorb the water.
  • Then dry it with the dryer, avoiding the use of hot air to the maximum. Or much better it will be (if you have it short) that you let it dry in the air).

How to wash your hair with baking soda - Nutrition Therapy

Do you know you can wash your hair without using shampoo? Yes, with bicarbonate, although there are other methods. And no, do not be afraid to go around with pestilent hair, you will be as clean as with the shampoo, and in the long run you will be much healthier. Do not be fooled, do not run risk of anything, nor your hair either, just the opposite. Maybe it's the shampoo companies that are at risk and that's why they spread these things. Of course, everything depends on how it is done.

They say it can cause infections, irritations and hair deterioration. Sure, like shampoo, if you use it improperly, for example using a large amount, or too often. They also say that the hair produces fat and that if it is not removed it can be bad. I agree with that, and as soon as you try the bicarbonate, you will see that the excess fat is removed as well as with the shampoo, but, unlike this one, it does not take away all the natural oils that the scalp produces. As the scalp tries to remain in balance, removing the oils tends to produce more, and therefore with this method so many washings are not necessary.

The bicarbonate does exactly the same function as the shampoo, as it has a detergent effect that cleans the hair removing grease and dirt, but in a less aggressive way. The trick is to dilute it correctly for your needs and then use an acid pH solution to restore the pH of the scalp, as the bicarbonate is alkaline.

When you try it you will see that you do not miss the "clean hair" feeling that the shampoo leaves you, because, even though it does not foam, you can notice that the hair is clean. So clean it squeaked. Contrary to what we have been led to believe, the shampoo foam is the product of chemical agents and is not a measure of its cleaning power.

And why use baking soda and no shampoo?


Because the shampoo is loaded with toxic ingredients, like the vast majority of cosmetic products. And not as remains or traces, but as main ingredients. The skin is the largest organ in the body, and what we put in it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. In this cosmetics database you can put the ingredients of your shampoo right now and check its risks. Risks such as organ toxicity, disruption of the endocrine system, damage to the immune system, irritations and allergies. That which is known. It is curious to say that washing your hair with baking soda is "a dangerous fashion".

Shampoo is not necessary, contrary to what we have been led to believe. In fact, until the 30s, women did not use shampoo. And in addition to the toxic, you can ruin your hair because it takes all the natural oils you need to be hydrated, healthy, and without frizz. That's why you have to use conditioner, which covers your hair with silicones (basically plastic) to keep it soft. And those silicones can only be cleaned with the aggressive surfactants that shampoo carries, and so you're in a vicious circle that does not do any good to you, your hair, or the environment.

Sodium bicarbonate, on the other hand, is a natural compound that is neither toxic nor harmful, and can even be ingested, provided it is not in very large quantities. It is one of the safest and most versatile products that exist. It is used among other things in baking, in natural hygiene products, cleaning, and has even been used traditionally to prevent and treat the flu.

Therefore, if you want to improve your hair, your health and live more naturally, this can be a very simple step. It is also very economical and saves time, since it considerably increases the interval between washes. And also the time you spend in front of the hair products shelf choosing shampoo and conditioner, deciding between Perfect Curls or Intense Smooth, because surely you do not have one thing or another! (You will not have it with those products). And more time and money because your hair may improve to the point of having to use fewer styling products, if you use them (or none).

How to wash your hair with baking

What you need:
  • - Two little bottles with a spout, like those in the first photo, made of plastic. They sell them in the Chinese, they are the mustard and ketchup type.
  • - Sodium bicarbonate, or sodium bicarbonate, which is the same. They sell it in the supermarket in bags of 1 kg.
  • - Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, if you dislike vinegar, but keep in mind that when the hair dries it stops smelling completely of vinegar. If you want to make it with lemon juice and you do not feel like squeezing it, they sell pure squeezed lemon juice in small bottles in some supermarkets.

The initial mixtures:
These are the initial mixes, which you will have to adjust later, depending on your results:

  • - For the "shampoo": 1 tablespoon of baking soda in 250 ml (one cup) of water. If your water is very hard, use distilled water. Wait until the bicarbonate dissolves completely, to undo the "crystals". The solution has to have a somewhat "slipping" feel, different from that of water. If you do not have it, add more baking soda.
  • - For the "conditioner": pour 1 to 6 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and fill to 250 ml (one cup) with water. And optionally, add a few drops of essential oil / s, for its smell or for its hair properties.

Process:
1. Detangle your hair well and brush it a little to remove dirt.

2. Wet all the hair well, apply the "shampoo" you need with the whiplash on the scalp, massaging the roots a little by areas (insisting more on those that are more greasy). No foam comes out, but it's not unpleasant. Massage the whole head a little, as with a normal shampoo, adding more water if you need it, but always worrying only about cleaning the roots, not the entire length of the hair (it will be cleaned with what falls). You can have a mixture, and you can use it in the next wash.

3. Rinse it well, to avoid whitish remains on the hair.

4. Put all the "conditioner" on the roots and soaking all the hair, and let it act a few minutes (while you soaping your body).

5. Rinse well, finishing with cold water.

If you have used vinegar, in the wet, the hair will smell a lot, but the smell disappears completely when it dries.

For some people there is a period of transition in which the hair is somewhat dirty, they might not be making the bicarbonate mixture potent enough, since the scalp can take from 1 to 4 weeks usually to normalize the production of fat. For me there was no transition period, but they say that before using a purifying shampoo to remove the remains of silicones from the shampoos and conditioners that you have used, it facilitates the transition. This purifying shampoo can be any that does not carry any silicones, notice that it does not carry any finished ingredient in -xane, -zane, -cone, or -conol. And do not use conditioner afterwards.

If at first it does not work, do not abandon the first change, it's about finding what your hair is doing well, adjusting the mixtures according to the results, and trying to accustom the scalp to more spaced washings, if necessary. he does not do it alone

To adjust the method:
If in the long run your hair is left to greasy, try:

  • - increase the time you have the bicarbonate in your hair, or increase the amount of bicarbonate, although this last is not recommended, it is better to wait to see if it is regulated only
  • - reduce the time you have the vinegar / lemon in your hair, or reduce the amount of it
  • - apply a natural dry shampoo between washings

If in the long run your hair is left dry, try:

  • - reduce the time you have the bicarbonate in your hair, or reduce the amount of bicarbonate
  • - increase the time you have the vinegar / lemon in your hair, or increase the amount of it
  • - replace the "shampoo" of baking soda with one or two egg yolks, in some washings or in all, in the same way as the baking soda, letting them act for a few minutes
  • - Apply a pinch of oil after washing, like a serum, spreading it first on the palms of your hands. I like this one, coconut, but you can try other
  • - Frequently use a boar bristle brush, like this one, which is the one that best distributes the natural oils of the hair, the best anti-frizz moisturizer.

I was getting a bit dry and what made the difference was to put a little less baking (1 teaspoon scarce in 250 ml) but above all put a lot more vinegar, like a quarter or more of the total mix.

Try it and if you do not do well at the beginning, experiment and insist, it's worth it!

It is one of the activities of every day - or almost all - but although it seems easy, many times after washing the hair, it is still greasy or dull . What is the reason?

Many times the shampoo or conditioner is not the right one for the type of hair that each one has, but also the techniques at the time of washing influence and generate damage. Although people are used to doing it on a daily basis, not everyone does it correctly.

    With the right techniques, the hair will notice a big difference in terms of health, brightness and consistency

Therefore, to pass from damaged to healthy hair it is essential to have a correct washing routine. Thus, the first thing to do is a diagnosis of the type of scalp that one has - whether dry, oily or with dandruff.   The products that will be chosen then will depend on this evaluation.

When rinsing the hair, it should be done with warm or hot water - do not apply very high temperature since it leads to the hair being dehydrated- so that the cuticles open and the oils of the scalp are loosened. In addition, it is necessary that the hair is completely wet at the time of applying the product.

Just there, you can apply the two shampoos Yes, both! "The ideal is to put a neutral shampoo to remove the grease and dirt, and for the second to apply a product that is ideal for each person's hair type - curls, straight, hydration, restructuring - generating foam," explained the stylist. Javier Luna

The shampoo, thanks to its alkaline characteristic, causes the pores and cuticles to open to give way to the conditioner . With little amount, this one has to apply to 2 or 3cm of the root towards the ends, massaging until down.

But not everything ends in the products. According to Luna, the correct way to wash the hair is always with the 10 fingertips, never with the nails, making circular movements and massaging the scalp .

    Extra fact! For those who suffer hair loss can wash it with an intense massage to improve circulation

After finishing with the products and the washing, go from hot to cold water so that the temperature contrast stimulates blood circulation and generates the closing of the cuticle. "In this way, it prevents the hair from rising," said the stylist.

But the washing routine does not only consist in the actions that are carried out in the shower but also the drying, for example, is an important part so as not to damage the hair. When it is wet and wet it is very sensitive, therefore it is appropriate to remove excess water with a towel but without rubbing it as it can lead to breakage or frizz. "Always wring out squeezing and not rubbing," advises Javier Luna.

Finally, to untangle it, it is advisable to do it from the bottom up so that it does not weaken or break.

Hair and its maintenance is a subject that obsesses both men and women. In addition, if you take into account the permanent invasions that suffers - such as chemicals, iron, hair dryer, sun, among other things - the hair begins to show signs of deterioration that can be deep and difficult to reverse.

This is how different capillary products began to use the calendula as an ingredient because it is known for its cicantrizantes characteristics in both the skin and hair.

At present, the new Elvive Repair Total 5 of L'Oréal Paris is the only haircare brand that has this ingredient in its products. Its line composed of shampoo, conditioner, cream to comb, cream treatment and the new format in ointment, contain a healing effect and concentration of active agents that manages to combat deep damage up to a year old.

So you do not have to suffer every time you use the dryer or expose your hair to the sun. Following the tips to properly wash the hair, and choosing the right product, keeping it healthy and shiny is no longer going to be a difficult goal to reach.

If you feel that your hair is dry, mistreated and falls more and more it is important to wash it correctly, but remember that this should be maximum two or three times a week, according to experts. Follow these tips to clean your hair correctly and keep it cute and healthy:

    Comb and untangle your hair : it is the first thing you should do and the best way to detach loose hair and eliminate the remains of hair products.

    Choose a good shampoo : hair is often damaged by using inappropriate products. It is important to choose a shampoo free of salt or sulphates, since these chemicals are aggressive with sensitive scalp and fine hair and dyed. Sulfates produce a lot of foam, dry hair and remove natural protective oils from your hair. Opt for a shampoo enriched with moisturizing and plant-based ingredients.

    Beware of the amount of shampoo : after having wet your hair put a small amount of shampoo in your hands, wash the root of your hair by massaging the tips of your fingers with firm and circular movements for about five minutes.

    Avoid washing aggressively : hair close to the scalp is the youngest and, therefore, the most oily; while, the tips are usually drier and more fragile, so they should be cleaned only with the rinse and that is enough to make them stay well and without suffering any damage.

    Condition : after being free of shampoo residues, put the conditioner from the height of the ears towards the tips. Leave it on for two minutes and then rinse without carving. Remember never to place the conditioner on the scalp.

    It ends by rinsing with cold water:
this will activate the circulation and manages to close the cuticles and the outer layer, making the hair have more shine.

Finally, it is said that washing the hair three times a week is enough to prevent it from looking greasy. In addition to this way they activate their natural movement. In addition, try to make masks for your scalp, using cleansing oils (such as olive oil) can nourish the root of your hair. It is recommended to do it once a week, and if they are masks with natural ingredients even better.

The secrets of a clean and shiny hair

How to wash your hair at home the same (or better!) Than in hairdressing

Washing hair is a mechanical act for many, but that is the first and most important step in the care and attention of hair and also has its tricks and secrets. It's okay to get under the shower head and rub your head vigorously, but that does not mean at all that you can not do much better ...

But if there is a frequent question about hair hygiene, it is undoubtedly whether washing it a lot is positive or, on the contrary, harmful. The (wrong) popular belief is that washing the hair often makes it dirty even earlier because it produces a "rebound effect". False. The scalp is made up of skin, like the rest of the body, and should be cleaned as often as necessary. What, in the case of oily hair, which produces a lot of sebum naturally, can be daily. In addition, this ensures that the scalp is oxygenated, because if it is left covered by the fat that is produced, there is a risk of suffering a dermatitis.

Choose the most suitable shampoo

Rafael Artero is the shampooer of the Pantene brand. Of course, before continuing, many will wonder what is a shampoo ... It is simply the expert in everything related to the techniques of washing, selection and application of hair products. Through their advice, we know better what is the proper washing and care of the hair.
Rafael Artero proposes an analysis of the scalp through sight. To do this, you have to stand in front of a mirror, make a line in the middle and observe the skin's color, its brightness or opacity.

  • White - Ivory and normal brightness: The skin is normal and you will get a shampoo for this type of hair.
  • Reddish: Presence of irritations, infections or vascular problems. Shampoos with soothing active ingredients are recommended, specific for sensitive scalps.
  • Yellowish and very bright: Excess of sebaceous secretion. A purifying or oily hair product is needed.
  • Grayish and matt: Insufficient irrigation. It is advisable to choose a shampoo that activates the blood supply, for example, one that has menthol.
  • Presence of scales: It can be because of irritation, in which case you need a soothing shampoo, or dandruff. The best treatment for this is an anti-dandruff shampoo, which should be used regularly.

Step by step of washing at home

The advice of the Pantene shampoo is simple to follow. Initially, you have to brush your hair to remove traces of lacquer, gels or foam. Before applying shampoo, make sure that hair and scalp are completely wet, always with warm water. Cold does not remove fat, and hot dries it excessively.
It is important that the hair hang naturally during the wash, whether standing in the shower or reclining in the bathtub. Afterwards, a little shampoo is poured into the hollow of the hand, not directly over the head. The product is distributed throughout the hair with the help of the fingertips, but without any need to rub vigorously or entangle the hair. It's time to use gentle gestures.
It is good to follow an order, starting for example on the top of the head, then the sides, the crown and middle areas to end in tips and nape. It is important to remember that the hair keratin softens in contact with water, which means that wet hair is much more fragile than dry. So do not jerk or brush brusque ahead of time! Although it can not be seen with the naked eye, this would break the hair. It is better to use conditioner and, with your help, go gently combing the hair.
To clarify it, it is necessary to let the water slide through the hair from top to bottom, accompanying the jet from the inside to the outside. Again, the previous maxim applies: no rubbing or tangling!
It is advisable to clarify thoroughly so as not to leave any shampoo, checking that it does not have bubbles, no shiny tricks or a slippery touch, ending with cold water to close the cuticle and enhance the shine. Then you can switch to applying the conditioner or, occasionally, a mask, to hydrate and nourish the hair.

Quantity and quality: the frequency of washing

How much shampoo is there to use? What is the proper frequency of washing? These questions are answered by the experts of Jean Louis David.
The amount of shampoo depends on the mass of hair you have. The more quantity, the more product is needed. But by way of approximation it can be said that for a half mane, it is enough to fill the hole in the hand.
The most important thing is to distribute the product evenly throughout the entire set of hair, both front and side and back, sometimes forgotten.
In the first shampoo it always costs a little more to get foam, the more dirty the hair is. In general, if a shampoo does not get too much foam, it is that its cleaning capacity is not too high.

When the hair is not clean it is best to give shampoo twice, but if it is in an intermediate stage, with once enough.
Whoever washes their hair every day will only need a shampoo. In dry hair, sometimes it is enough to just rinse the hair very well with shower water and then spray detangling spray.
It is convenient to wash your normal hair once a week with purifying shampoo, which helps to clean it thoroughly. In case of dry hair, it is enough once every fortnight.

How to wash your hair without shampoo (No poo!) And without losing the glamor

Thanks to the bicarbonate and the vinegar


The day has come to publicly share one of my greatest secrets: since July 2013, that is, 14 months ago, I do not use shampoo, but in case of emergency. What does not mean that I have gone dirty head but I have become accustomed to wash my hair with baking soda and vinegar . Exactly, with (almost) the same formula of the magic plunger , although I advance you that it has not served to unclog some ideas ...

Clear Shampoo ANTI-DANDRUFF Hair Fall Defense Stronger Thicker Looking Hair 400Ml/13.52Oz (Hair Fall Defense Stronger Thicker Looking Hair, 6X400Ml/13.52Oz)




I used to use shampoo before. And many masks, gels, softeners ...

My hair is dry since time immemorial . For years I let myself be dragged by hackers hairdressers who convinced me that I had the ideal product for my hair after telling me with contempt or worry that I had a dry and frizzy hair or, that I needed more care . Inevitably, two days after I spent a fortune on hair treatments, my hair was exactly as dry and frizzy as before . Interestingly, I also needed to wash it almost every day because the roots got very greasy.

Over the years I fell into the friendly networks of ecological cosmetics and began to test how much mask or conditioner I found with renewed faith in its benefits, but the truth is that things did not change very significantly. Of course, I made the effort to lower a little the frequency of washes and little by little began to last more days clean.
The revealing reading that brought the "no poo" to my life

That's how it was when I decided to look for natural remedies for my hair. Then I found a post from the blog Eva bites the apple called This caveman does not use shampoo that, among other things, explained that the shampoo removes natural hair grease, which makes our wise organisms increase production to solve the problem. Result: at 24 hours you have to wash your hair again and your hair is terribly frizzy and electric. So you use a softener and the situation gets even worse.

Of course, I anticipate that as logical as it seems, you can also get articles that say the opposite (could not miss). Anyway, it seemed to me a good explanation of what was happening to me and, after reading many experiences in various blogs and forums, I decided to launch the test of the method of washing the hair with baking soda and vinegar .
How to wash hair without shampoo

The necessary equipment


  •     Two plastic bottles , like the typical American ones for ketchup.
  •     Between a teaspoon of dessert and a tablespoon of baking soda (the drier the hair, the less). This will be our "shampoo".
  •     Between one and five tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (the drier the hair, the greater the amount). This will be our softener.
  •     An essential oil of your liking (consult an aromatherapy manual to take advantage of its effects: I love it with lavender for its relaxing effect and pleasant fragrance).

The step by step


  •     Place the baking soda in a bottle and fill it with about a cup of warm water. You will have to choose the dose that you create best for your hair and then you will adjust according to the results. I have dry hair and use a teaspoon of dessert. More oily hair, more bicabonate.
  •     Do exactly the same with vinegar , only in this case you can use cold water and the effect of brightness will be even greater (the acidity of the vinegar closes the scales of the hair and the cold water increases this effect). I use three tablespoons. Fatter hair, less vinegar.
  •     Add the essential oil you have chosen to the vinegar and stir well (this step can be saved, because the vinegar smell will disappear quickly, but the truth is that this is much more pleasant).
  •     Wet your hair as you usually do.
  •     Proceed to the wash : with the bottle of baking soda, see spreading the liquid through your scalp while gently massaging your fingers, making sure to distribute it well throughout the head. Finally cover the rest of the hair, even the ends, and massage for another minute.
  •     Rinse the hair thoroughly with clean water.
  •     Distribute the vinegar solution as a softener throughout the hair, just as you did with the bicarbonate solution (and enjoy the softness).
  •     Take the opportunity to disentangle your hair and rinse it with water as always.

Coconut oil or shea butter: better than any hair mask


If your hair needs additional nutrition (or, what is the same, if there is no way to find the right dose of ingredients because the hair is still dry), you can use a little coconut oil or shea butter for an hour (or more) before washing your hair. Use very little quantity and distribute it in a homogeneous way. Another option is to use a very small dose after washing your hair, but you must distribute it very well so that you do not have greasy strands. I do it often.

Wash yourself less and less


From the beginning, go spacing your washes to let the hair look for balance. You will see that in days of little activity you can get to about five days or up to a week without washing your hair. And if you go to the beach or the pool, do the test of just rinse it very well with water.

Buy baking soda and vinegar


    You can buy baking soda in one kilo and half pound packages in our store specialized in zero waste or zero waste, Use and Reuse . If you have them close to home, you can also buy sodium bicarbonate in bulk in Goccia Verde or in Sabons i cosmètica Marilò .
    Apple cider vinegar, look at the stores of organic products: probably get some presentation in glass bottle.
    If the experiments go, you can also prepare your own baking apple with this recipe .

Final warnings


  •     I'm not promising the pantene hair formula (because this is basically a lot of Photoshop), nor does it cure all your ills. For me the results were very noticeable at the beginning, but I have had ups and downs. Sometimes it is necessary to readjust the quantities and it is difficult to get the point.
  •     In many cases the beginning is hard , because the hair is resistant to change, but after a month at most the thing starts to walk well. It's what the "experts" say.
  •     After two months I gave away all my hair products and ended up regretting not having left a shampoo for the days of hurry . Now I do have an ecological one that I like a lot, but in almost a year I have not used half of the boat, and that girls also use it occasionally. I recommend you have an option for days of hurry.
  •     It is not a method for everyone. In some people it seems that it produces a lot of itching, and although some people treat dandruff with this method, others seem to shoot it. As in everything, you have to be attentive to the signals of your body.
  •     If you have a beautiful mane and you love the foam of the shampoo, maybe the n or poo method (without shampoo) is not for you. But even in that case you may want to do the test to reduce your expenses (a lot depending on which product you normally use) and, at the same time, minimize your footprint (which would be very good because you will save a lot of plastic on the planet , in addition of the CO2 footprint generated by the distribution of the product ). Think that if you dare to try, the most that can happen is that you discover that you were better before the invention and along the way you have saved some money.

When I left the no poo


  •     I add this warning to tell you that I stopped using the non-poo method after three years because my hair dried out over time. Sometimes I think I should try again with more attention to the coconut masks, because I think I had lost the consistency.
  •     If in spite of everything, you throw yourself into the pool, do not stop explaining it to me!

Clear Shampoo ANTI-DANDRUFF Women Intense Hydration Moisturization of Scalp and Hair with cactus (Intense Hydration Moisturization of Scalp and Hair, 6X400Ml/13.52Oz)

If you have oily hair, you have to wash it SO

If we had to choose between oily hair, but super healthy, and normal hair, but with split ends, most women with oily hair would choose the second option without thinking. And is that the oily hair is one of the beauty problems that gives us more headaches .

And we can hold many things, but the feeling of having dirty hair is not one of them. Therefore, if your hair secretes more fat than normal it is very possible that you do not let more than two days go by without washing it or that you even do it every day , with the sacrifice of time that entails. And, watch out, because it's not just about lost time: your habits when washing your hair may be responsible for that excess of fat that bothers you so much .

Like the skin, the scalp has to be exfoliated


Most of us have a very established beauty ritual for our skin, but we leave the scalp quite forgotten. What's more, you may be discovering right now that the first step to a healthy and balanced hair is to exfoliate and clean the scalp well .

Exfoliate it is basic to reduce impurities and dead cells, especially in oily hair where excess sebum can reach obstructing the follicles . To do this, use specific combs to massage and capillary exfoliates. Your scalp will begin to balance, adjusting the secretion of sebum.

Wash your hair less


Surely you just put the cry in the sky and you are denying this action, but let us explain why. Every time we wash our hair, we eliminate not only the impurities but also the layer of natural oils that secrete our scalp to protect ourselves . By doing this, we run the risk of entering a vicious circle in which our scalp is 'forced' to segregate more oils to maintain that protection, you wash it again the next day and start again.

To help your hair regain balance , you can not wash your hair every day, even using anti-fat shampoos. To get out of this vicious circle, we propose a washing plan every three days :

  • - Day 1: Wash your hair.
  • - Day 2: Use a dry shampoo (spray and powder) on the roots to freshen hair and remove fat.
  • - Day 3: Make yourself a high chignon, one of those with which on top you look taller . In addition to enduring another day without washing your hair, you will avoid touching it too much, a gesture that messes up a lot.

And back to start.


Avoid sulfates


Before washing your hair, visit your trusted pharmacy, tell them about your oily hair problem and let yourself be advised. In the pharmacies there are great capillary treasures , shampoos and specific conditioners that will help you clean your oily hair, but also respecting the nature of the scalp, helping you in your task of regaining balance.

The key to many of these products is the absence of sulfates , the detergents that are used in many hair and body products and that are responsible for 'cleaning'. These sulfates are very effective, but sometimes they are too. Let me explain: they clean so much and so well that they take away all those natural oils that we have talked about, which has as a consequence an over stimulation of the sebaceous glands that secrete more.

Eye with water


That is not too cold, because otherwise it will not clean the hair in depth, but it is not too hot because it opens the cuticles, one of the main reasons why the hair breaks down. It is best to bet on warm water and if you are not able to hold it in your body (because you have Khaleesi wood and you always shower with hyperheated water), wash your hair first and shower later.

Conditioner: yes but with care


Of course you can use conditioner, but it is best to do it only from half to ends . Avoid applying this type of products in the roots because, basically, they do not need it, just the opposite. However, because of the use of dryers and irons, you can have dry ends, so do not hesitate.

And above all, do not obsess, but if you see that your problem of oily hair does not improve, do not hesitate and go to a hair dermatologist.

Clear Shampoo Deep Cleanse 2 In 1 400Ml/13.52Oz (Deep Cleanse 2 In 1, 1X400Ml/13.52Oz)




Do not miss how to wash it properly in only 7 steps!

# 1 Start by rinsing it


The hair must be wet before applying the shampoo. The hot water will open the cuticles, and that is good to remove any dirt or product accumulated in the hair.

In addition, if you rinse your hair with warm water before washing it, the scalp oils are loosened and the cuticle opens, allowing a better absorption of the shampoo and conditioner.

# 2 Apply the conditioner first


Just in case you have long hair below the shoulders, a good way to protect the tips of the drying is to apply conditioner and rinse before putting the shampoo.

This will not only help keep your tips healthy but also will give more moisture and shine to your hair .

# 3 Make foam on the scalp


The shampoo you only need to apply on the scalp. The hair closest to the scalp is the youngest and therefore the most oily, while the tips are usually drier and more fragile. Do not use more shampoo than you need, a small amount is enough.

If your hair is particularly long or thick you can double the amount.

# 4 Be nice


Friction can permanently damage the hair, which can cause frizz and breakage. Therefore, you should wash your hair gently.

Start at the root, massage the scalp to stimulate blood circulation in that area. Avoid circular movements that can entangle hair.

Then, go to the tips but gently, avoid rubbing or any movement that may damage them.

# 5 Do not rinse and repeat


Despite what you can say on the label of your beauty products, there is no need to rinse your hair twice. A single shampoo application is sufficient.

You can make an exception if the hair is very dirty and you have not managed to leave it clean after the first wash.

# 6 Add conditioner from the middle to the tips


After rinsing the shampoo, squeeze the water from the hair a little before applying the conditioner. Keep the hair conditioner away from the water with a cap or clip while you wash the rest of the body and let the hair absorb the conditioner. The longer the conditioner stays, the better the hair will absorb it.

Avoid applying the conditioner on the root, limit yourself to the ends. Remember that, as I told you at the beginning, if you have long hair, you can apply the conditioner before the shampoo.

# 7 Finish rinsing with cold water


Finally, rinse the hair with cold water . The cold water manages to close the cuticles and closes the outer layer, making it better reflect the light and the hair has more shine . You do not have to wash your hair entirely with cold water, but you must leave it for the final part of the wash.

Follow these steps and you can wash your hair in the right way so that it looks healthy, clean, moisturized and very bright.

Tips for washing hair with baking


It may be that some people have to adjust their mixtures because the result is not what they expected. Do not worry, it's normal, every type of hair is different. Therefore, we recommend you:

  •     If the hair is greasy : it increases the time you leave the bicarbonate in your hair or add more bicarbonate to your mixture. You can also reduce the time you let the natural conditioner work or apply it in less quantity.
  •     If the hair is dry : in this case, you should reduce the time you let the bicarbonate on the hair or reduce the amount of the product in your mixes. You can also increase the time you allow the conditioner to work with vinegar or lemon or increase its amount in the wash. For these cases, it is also recommended to apply essential oils after washing and brush the hair with a boar bristle brush that will help to distribute the natural oils of the hair to hydrate naturally.
