The amount of shampoo needed can vary depending upon the thickness and length of your hair. Apply a liberal amount of shampoo to create a rich, cleansing lather. Thoroughly rinse after shampooing to remove any excess shampoo.Can I Use Hot Water to Wash My Hair?
Hot water is not recommended because it makes hair limp. You may recall that your hair stylist uses warm water to effectively wash your hair. Always finish rinsing with cool water.
Is It Necessary to Use a Conditioner?Yes, a conditioner helps to protect hair from damage. It also makes hair more manageable and easier to style.
When Should You Shampoo Hair?Wash your hair daily if you work out, live in a humid region, or have hair that is oily. Washing hair every other day is recommended when you have normal hair or dry ends with oily roots. If your hair is slightly dry, color-treated, or you reside in a dry climate, you should probably wash your hair every couple of days.
Should I Switch Shampoos?
If you are experiencing a buildup of product around your scalp, a good clarifying shampoo can bring your hair back to a healthy state. Aging can also change hair, so switching to a different shampoo could be beneficial. Your hairstylist can determine whether switching shampoos is the right move for you.
