1. Shampooing
– Brush or comb hair thoroughly to loosen up dirt and dead skin cells from the head. Wet the hair well so that the below layers along with the top are well saturated with water.
– Pour about 1 tsp of hair shampoo in a little water to get a diluted solution and massage this watered down hair shampoo carefully into the roots with your fingertips, covering the whole of the head.
– With the flat surface area of your hand work that shampoo into the bulk of the hair over the leading layers.
– Rinse completely with water till the shampoo has been entirely washed off.
– Repeat the same procedure if necessary.
2. Conditioning
– Shampoo the hair as directed above as often times as wanted and wash thoroughly.
– Pour approx. 2-2 1/2 tsps of conditioner in your hair all over.
– Leave on far about 5 minutes and rinse off thoroughly till the conditioner has been completely cleaned off.
3. Drying
Keep in mind that damp hair loses upto 20 percent of its elasticity and with it, much of its natural durability. So treat it as gently as you possibly can after cleaning:
– Squeeze out excess water, cover hair loosely in a clean towel, turban-fashion and press firmly against the head. Do not rub vigorously.
– Once the hair is no longer soaking wet, the best thing you can do is to leave it to dry naturally.
– When utilizing a blow dryer, capitalize on the control, decrease on the damage: (a) do not start drying up until the hair is three quarters dry; (b) do not hold the dryer over one area of the head for too long; (c) do not permit the scalp to become hot; (d) utilize a brush gently to persuade the hair into the design you want; and (e) do not continue to blow dry on to hair that is already dry.
4. Brushing and combing
Constantly brush hair when it is dry because brushing wet hair cause completions to divide.
– Tilt your head forward while brushing as this increases the blood supply to the head and promotes the hair.
– Never ever use a sharp teethed brush or it may tear the hair apart.
– Fine hair requires a softer brush while thick long hair needs a bigger brush with stiff bristles.
– For combing damp hair, use a comb in which the teeth are widely spaced.
– The very best way to comb tangles hair (knots) is to start at the ends and work upwards slowly.
