Shashicka Tyre-Hill Speaks: How to Properly Shampoo & Condition Your Hair to Prevent Breakage
Have you ever wondered how to properly shampoo and condition your hair? I bet you didn't know that most people suffer hair loss due to not applying the correct methods. Most people do the simple lather, scrub and rinse routine, but there is one word that makes this method all wrong : SCRUB.
Over the years, you have most likely been taught to scrub your scalp using your nails to get it good and clean ... Well, it sounds good and it feels amazing, but this is how you break and damage your hair and on top of all that, your hair keeps a bit of grit in it due to your nails. Your nails are not as clean as you may think they are, so you want to avoid having them touch your scalp when you're learning how to shampoo hair and condition your tresses. All that hidden dirt and debris located under your nails can cause irritations to your scalp or even spread germs and diseases. So, what is the safest way to clean your scalp? With the base of your fingertips (but some prefer to use their knuckles).
This is the best method to use when shampooing your hair to prevent breakage. By massaging your scalp during your shampoo routine, you are also circulating the blood, which increases your hair growth. You can massage your scalp at any given moment : while watching television, when you are just lounging or anytime that you think about it. Most people try to avoid the massage because they think their hair is going to come out, but truth be told, the average person loses almost 100 strands of hair per day. Your hair will shed, and it has its own season to do so . It's simply out with the old and in with the new. New hair is what you want, so giving your scalp a good massage to stimulate your growth will not hurt you - it will help you.
How to Shampoo Your Hair:
- Part your hair into four sections (if your hair is long enough to do so).
- Rinse each section of your hair in warm to hot water. This opens the cuticles of your hair and loosens up the oils and debris on your scalp and in your hair.
- Place a quarter-sized amount of Miracle Hair Growth Shampoo in the palm of your hand.
- Rub your hands together and shampoo each section using the base of your fingers or your knuckles in a circular motion to massage your scalp and the roots of your hair.
- Let it set for about one minute and then rinse in warm water. This will remove any dirt, debris or buildup at the root, all while stimulating the circulation of your scalp. As you rinse, the soap will work its way down your hair shaft and gently cleanse through your ends.
- Towel blot your hair to gently remove all excess water from your hair. Do not pull your hair tightly or wrap it tightly in the towel.
- Apply this method two times. (Once for the removal of oils and the other to cleanse. Do not over shampoo your hair because it can become very dry and brittle, caus ing frizz).
How to Condition Your Hair and Prep for Styling:
- Place a quarter-sized amount of Miracle Hair Conditioner in the palm of your hand.
- Rub your hands together and massage the conditioner on your hair (you may need more depending on the length of your hair).
- Starting with the ends of your hair, take a wide-tooth comb and gently comb your hair to detangle it.
- Place a deep conditioning cap on over your hair and let it set with heat for 20-25 minutes to deep condition your hair.
- Rinse your hair in cold water to close the cuticles.
- Towel blot your hair.
- Spray the Miracle Hair Blow Dry Spray on your hair.
- With a wide-tooth comb, gently comb through your hair.
- Dry your hair with the Miracle Hot Air Blow Dryer Brush .
- Apply a quarter-sized drop (depending on hair length) of the Miracle Rejuvenating Cream to moisturize your hair.
- Once you have completed these steps, dry and style as desired.
Apply these tips during your weekly hair growth routine, and you'll become a pro in how to condition hair and prevent product buildup. Remember to gently massage your scalp with the base of your fingertips or knuckles to prevent shedding and breakage while you stimulate your scalp for hair growth.
Type, Length and Texture: How To Shampoo and Condition Your Hair
For hydrating your tresses and mastering how to shampoo correctly, general advice is a great way to begin. But hair type and length can change how you approach this routine. We've already touched on using more or less product based on how long your hairstyle is. Knowing how to condition short hair, for example, means using less formula. You'd rub your fingertips together instead of your whole hand. Focus on the tips of your strands and avoid applying the moisture-rich product too close to your scalp, which can over-hydrate the hair and skin.
It's similar to learning how to shampoo hair properly based on type and texture. Let's use curly hair for this scenario. This hair type needs gentle ingredients and curl-enhancing nutrients to help your strands shine, and using minimal product helps prevent buildup. Try different techniques for how to shampoo and condition hair types, textures and styles that best match your own to find the ideal process for your tresses.
