Hair Shampooing - How to Shampoo your hair, Shampoo for all hair types

To shampoo is to wash, cleanse or remove all dirt or other impurities from the scalp and hair by the process of shampooing. Some shampoos are aggressive and not only sweep away dirt, but also your hair's protective sebum. To help you find a best shampoo that works for your hair type, many manufacturers create formulas for specific hair types.

How to Shampoo your hair

Buying the right shampoo makes the task of shampooing the right way a lot easier.

For a great head bath, the first step is to brush the hair and de tangle it before shampooing. This prevents hair breakage and hair loss due to tugging or trying to finger comb the hair during shampooing.

Warm water is preferable to hot water while shampooing, as it is just right for effective cleansing.

Depending on the length of hair, the amount of shampoo is lathered onto wet hair. A dime size dollop of shampoo is sufficient for short hair; medium hair length may need a nickel size amount while long hair will naturally cry for more. Salon shampoos usually have a higher concentration and discretion is called for in using lesser amounts than usual for these.

A 3-minute shampoo massage in slow, circular motions, using fingertips (not nails) onto the scalp readies the hair for rinsing. This can be followed up with a conditioner suitable for the hair type, which may be rinsed out or left in, depending on the individual's status of hair health.

Purpose of shampoo and suitability for hair type

The primary purpose of a good shampoo is to rid the hair of any residues including dirt and oil. Clarifying shampoos are specifically formulated to remove product build up while deep-penetrating, cream based moisturizing shampoos nourish dry, permed or color treated hair. To get the best results from a head rinse product, it is important to select a shampoo that matches the individual's hair type. Feeling the hair from the roots to the ends will help determine its type and make the process of choosing a shampoo easy. A cleansing shampoo with mint extracts is ideal for oily hair and dry hair does well with moisturizing products that relieve frizz and condition it.

Shampoos made from quality ingredients and professional products are best for quality hair care. These contain the right concentration of proteins, vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy cleansing of hair. When shampoo shopping, try to visit a few salons and get their recommendations.

Shampoos giving a money-back guarantee are a smart buy, as one needs to try out such a product to really tell if they are right for the individual. If single-use Shampoo sachets are available, they should be the first step in trying out the shampoo and determining its suitability. Making an effort to find the right products saves time and money in the end and ensures the ultimate hair care experience too.

Note:
Don't rub just blot the wet hair with a towel and then smooth the towel along the length of your hair. Avoid blow drying as far as possible. If you shampoo regularly there is no need to lather twice.
