Washing hair the right way
Like skin, also hair should not be washed too often. 2-3 times per week usually suffices. Greasy hair or hair that is modeled with styling products might need a daily wash. For correct cleansing the hair must be completely wet before the shampoo is applied. The water temperature should not exceed 35°C. With short hair a pea large drop (0.5 ml), with medium length or thick hair a walnut large drop (1-2 ml) and with long or very thick hair a hand full (3-4 ml) of shampoo suffices. This amount should be rubbed between both hands and distributed thoroughly in the hair. Only special care products such as conditioner or hair treatment need to rest in the hair or be massaged into the hair. Nowadays, shampoos have such a good cleansing effect that not much foam is necessary. After a gentle rinse, the hair should be gently dabbed from in growing direction, i.e. from the scalp towards the end of the hair. Best for the hair structure is air drying. Hair dryers should only be used at medium heat and always be held in 20-30 cm distance to the head. Wet hair should always be combed carefully with a comb without sharp edges. Brushes are only suited for dry hair.
