Bed Head for Men Wise Up Scalp Shampoo, 8.45 Fluid Ounce

Method 1 Wash the hair

    one
    Rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water. The hair must be completely wet before applying the shampoo. The use of warm water is important, because it will open the hair cuticles. Once the hair is soaked in warm water, it will begin to release the accumulated dirt. In addition, the warm water will help the hair and scalp absorb the conditioner's oils. [one]
        Let the hair get completely wet before applying the shampoo.
        Consider using a water filter that removes any strong minerals from the water. The hair will rinse better and you will feel softer in this way. [two]
    two
    Condition the hair before applying the shampoo if you have long hair. This may be new for you, but if the hair falls below the shoulders, the ends of the hair will require more conditioning to stay strong. Apply a small amount of conditioner to the palms of your hands and gently massage the ends of the hair. This will protect the tips of the break and give them shine. [3]
    3
    Gently massage the shampoo on the roots of the hair. If you have short or medium hair, apply an amount of shampoo the size of a quarter in the palm of your hand. You can double that amount if you have hair longer than shoulder height. Rub it between the palms of your hands and then gently apply it to the roots of the hair, massaging and not rubbing, as you go. Make sure you wash your neck thoroughly with shampoo. [4]
        Do it delicately, do not rub your hair or make sudden circular movements. Avoid damaging or breaking the hair cuticles.

    4
    Do not apply shampoo on the ends of hair if you have very long hair. You'll need more shampoo at the roots, because that's where most of the oil is. You will need less or no shampoo at the tips, since it is the oldest and most dried hair.
        If you have accumulation of fat, you can wash your hair with a purifying shampoo once a week.
    5
    Rinse the hair and wring out the excess water. Rinse your hair with warm water until it is free of all shampoo. Run your fingers through your hair to remove water if you have short hair. If you have it long, squeeze it carefully in the middle section and the tips to prepare it for the conditioner.

Method 2 Condition the hair

    one
    Distribute the conditioner evenly on the hair if it is less than 7.5 cm (3 inches) in length. You can use a quantity of conditioner the size of a quarter. Let him act for two and a half minutes and use this time to shave or finish showering, if you prefer. If you use a conditioner for normal hair, you can use it every day. [5]
        Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. If a lot of fat builds up in your hair, it could be because you do not rinse it well enough after conditioning.
    two
    Apply conditioner in the middle section and on the ends of the hair if you have it longer. Rub a small portion of conditioner between your hands. It is not necessary to apply conditioner to the hair roots. The hair is sufficiently greasy at the roots. [6]
        Gather your hair and finish showering. The longer you leave the conditioner on your hair, the better it will absorb it. Keep a clip in the shower its repeated use.
        You can also use a bun to hold your hair up, but be careful not to squeeze it because you will not want to hurt the cuticles. Remember, the hair is at its most fragile when wet.
        You can also use a shower cap to keep the conditioner from rinsing while you bathe.

    3
    Leave the conditioner on your hair for 10 minutes after showering if you have long hair. If you want to get out of the shower quickly to save water or have extra dry hair, this will give the hair the extra time it takes to absorb the conditioner's oils. Keep your hair up with a clip or wrap it in a towel so it does not interfere.
    4
    Rinse your hair with cold water if you have long hair. Cold water will close the hair cuticles and keep moisture and oils sealed in the hair. Hair will look brighter if you remember to do this step consistently during the shower routine.
        Make sure you rinse all the conditioner. If you still have conditioner in your hair, it can leave your hair weak and oily.

    5
    Use a conditioner without rinsing. Non-rinsing conditioners are marketed for both men and women. Leaving the conditioner without rinsing will strengthen the hair and make it more flexible. After the shower, apply the conditioner without rinsing on damp hair.
        Bed Head, Aveda and Paul Mitchell have non-rinsing conditioner products for men.
        Some men who use shampoo every day claim that the conditioner without rinsing leaves the hair more manageable. [7]

Method 3 Choose the right shampoo and conditioner

    one
    Buy shampoo and conditioner for normal hair if you have hair shorter than 7.5 cm (3 inches). Normal shampoo works for nine out of ten people who have hair less than 7.5 cm (3 inches) in length. However, if you have problems with a scalp that is too dry or too oily, buy shampoo for oily hair or anti-dandruff shampoo. [8]

    two
    Increase hair volume if you have thin, weak or oily hair. It's called volumizing shampoo in the women's section and thickening shampoo in the men's section. [9] This shampoo or conditioner will help you give your hair more body.
        Avoid shampoos or creamy conditioners that will make the hair more greasy. [10] You will want a mild shampoo that you can use every day or every other day. [eleven]
        If you have problems with oily hair, you can apply dry shampoo to your hair between washes. Even men can and should use dry shampoo, this will help the hair look fresh even when you have not showered. [12] Dry shampoo is also good because it adds texture and volume if you have thin hair.
        You may not need to use conditioner if you have oily hair. Consider using an aerosol conditioner or mild conditioner with tea tree oil to absorb hair grease. [13]

    3
    Strengthen the hair with a protein-based shampoo if you use chemicals. If you dye your hair or treat it chemically, look for a shampoo with wheat and soy extracts or silk amino acids. Male hair care does not usually offer shampoo and conditioner for this type of hair; however, there is nothing wrong with buying shampoo for women if you want to preserve the tonality of the hair. Look for color-protective shampoos, or use a soft baby shampoo that does not fade your hair. [14]
        Use the conditioner only on the ends of the hair if you have long hair. The hair already has enough natural oils in the roots and you will only need to apply the conditioner on the middle part and the tips of the hair.
        Avoid conditioners with silicone that color the hair, if you want to preserve the color of hair. Also, do not wash it every day as this could also discolour hair color.

    4
    Get a shampoo to soften and control hair if you have thick or curly hair. Good shampoos for coarse and curly hair contain wheat germ oil, macadamia or almond oil, or shea butter. You can also use shampoos or conditioners with glycerin or silicone to keep your hair well hydrated.
        You can also regularly undergo treatments with hot oil to help control frizz. [fifteen]
        Use an intense moisturizing conditioner every time you wash your hair.

    5
    Use a creamy shampoo if you have dry or frizzy hair. Coconut, argan, grape seed and avocado oils are excellent treatments for dry hair. Use an ultra-moisturizing conditioner every time you wash your hair. [16]
        You can also use shampoo made for dry or dyed hair to control it if you have curled and dry hair, because they hydrate hair very well.

    6
    Alternate the type of shampoo you use if you have dandruff. This is the best method to fight dandruff. Change between a shampoo with salicylic acid, one with zinc pyrithione and another with selenium sulfide to effectively fight those annoying particles. It also alternates occasionally with a regular shampoo or moisturizing shampoo if the hair is drying because of anti-dandruff shampoos. [17]
        If the hair still has particles, after removing the shampoo, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar to fight fungal infections and bacteria. [18]

Mecitefendi Garlic Shampoo 400 Ml / 13.53 Fl Oz, Ideal for Very Thin, Lifeless, Oily Hair and Helps Prevent Hair Loss. Odorless. Unisex

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.

Handmade Hair Shampoo Bar - Organic Solid Soap Hair Treatment Cruelty-Free Natural Ingredients Sulfate Free Hair Care Bar for Women Men Kids Ploygonum Multflornm Ginger Shampoo, 3.5 OZ

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.



Pete and Pedro Clean XL {32 ounces} - Deep Cleaning Signature Hair Shampoo

    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 .



Zeitun Natural Shampoo For Oily Hair - Clarifying Shampoo for Men and Women - Clean and fresh - Oily Scalp Tretament - Silicone Free - Myrrh Extract 8.5 oz

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.

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.



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

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).

You think you know how to wash your head, but in reality you're doing it wrong

We have spoken with a professional shampooer (yes, the man who has studied for this), who has revealed to us the secrets of hair cleaning.



All Natural Shampoo & Hair Conditioner Pack (2 x 33.8 oz)

That you do all your life doing it does not automatically imply that you do it right. We're going to show you that you do not really know how to wash your head. We spoke with Rafael Artero, director of the hairdressing school María y José de Palma de Mallorca and professional shampooer (yes, the man who has studied for this) of Pantene, who has revealed to us the secrets of hair cleaning. And yes, there were a lot of things that we did upside down. Discover them

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).
