To be honest, I was naive myself when it came to taking care of my one of most beautiful possession, My hair. I have had long hair since last 10 years probably & I always thought that Right way to wash hair is probably using a good shampoo and a good conditioner and we are done. But trust me, this is just not enough. It’s not just about using the right products but also how knowing how to use them efficiently so as to maintain the beauty of your tresses.

From the first step to the last, I am here going to explain each and every step you got to follow to wash your hair the right way :

• Wet your hair properly with lukewarm water. Why lukewarm? Well, because the lukewarm water will help in opening the pores of your scalp which will allow the dirt to come on the surface of your scalp and hence better cleaning by the shampoo. Those with Dry hair or brittle hair should be using small quantity of conditioner before the shampoo as well so that your hair doesn’t feel too dry while you shampoo (Only if you haven’t oiled your hair).
• The next step is to apply some shampoo on your tresses. Take a decent quantity of shampoo on your palm and apply it on your scalp. Massage it onto your scalp using vertical motion of fingers (circular movement of hand should be avoided at all the cost) to produce lather. Shampoo your hair till the mid length and the ends should not be brushed against each other at all. The reason is, the so-called dirt in your hair is mostly on the scalp or around the neck, hence hair towards the end of the length don’t need extreme shampooing. One More point of consideration while shampooing your hair is to understand that every hair is different and one doesn’t always need to shampoo the hair twice for proper cleaning (unless your hair is really oily or dirty). If you got dry hair, Using shampoo once should be enough.
• Once you have lathered properly, the third step arrives, where you got to wash off your hair once again with lukewarm water. Move your fingers vertically across the length of your hair, This way you will also de-tangle your hair. Make sure that there is no shampoo or lather left in your hair. Since you are using lukewarm water, you are preparing your hair cuticle to absorb the oil of your conditioner which is the next thing to do.
• Squeeze out the water from your hair and apply a good amount of conditioner starting from the mid length to the ends of the hair. You can be generous with the conditioner, treat this as a potion to your hair. The point to be considered is do not apply conditioner on to your hair roots. You can leave your conditioner for as long as 10 minutes.
• Rinse it off with cold water and make sure that the conditioner has totally rinsed out. Be very gentle while you Dry up your hair with a clean towel and get ready to see the better version of your hair this time around.
