The first
step in shampooing is to wet
your hair with moderate temperature
(100F) and low water pressure.
Trap the water with your hands
and gently massage with it.
Gently repeat this procedure
3 minutes. At this point, dirt
and oil on your hair will be
rinsed out.
Single strand of hair is very
fine. If you rinse your hair
with hot water, it will cause
the cuticle to peal. Also, essential
oil will run out.
Proper way
of shampooing is to shampoo
your scalp. Put shampoo on your
scalp, not on your hair. Apply
shampoo from the nape, around
the ears and hairline. Gently
massage the scalp throughout
your entire head. Keeping your
scalp clean and healthy is very
important.
It is not necessary to lather
up so much! Too much lathering
can cause damage to the cuticle
of the hair.
Just as
you wet your hair in the first
step, trap the water and massage
with it. Do not use strong water
pressure to rinse your hair.
Styling
materials used will harden up
throughout the day. It should
be thoroughly rinsed out before
applying the shampoo, but never
brush it out before wetting.
Apply shampoo, gently lather
and massage your entire scalp.
Let it sit with lather for 1
minute. This will cleanse the
build up of the styling material
on your hair. After rinsing
it out, apply conditioning treatment.
If your hair is damaged,
wet your hair thoroughly and
apply treatment to protect your
hair before you shampoo. Apply
treatment only on the ends.
For the hair longer than shoulder
line, apply treatment and let
it penetrate into the hair as
you gently massage your hair.
The amount of the treatment
is about the size of teaspoon
for long hair.
Conditioning Treatment is to
revitalize and replenish lost
protein and other vital nutrients
in damaged hair. Since there
are more people with damaged
hair nowadays, it is necessary
to apply conditioning treatment
every time you shampoo your
hair. The amount of conditioner
applied varies, but roughly
3cc for a medium length hair
and 5cc for a long hair.
It is very important
not to rinse the conditioner
completely out. Leave some in
your hair. For highlighted or
bleached hair, conditioner can
be applied every time you shampoo
your hair.
Towel blot excess moisture out
rather than rubbing down with
a towel. Excess moisture left
in the hair will gather at the
ends as time passes by. Gently
blot the moisture at the ends
to avoid friction between strands
of hair that will cause cuticle
to peel.
Air drying your hair after the
shampoo will cause more damage
than blow drying. After towel
drying your hair, spray a leave
in conditioner. Then blow dry
the nape area first, leaving
the area above the forehead
second. The bottom part should
be dried first, so that the
top part does not absorb the
moisture from the bottom. In
the end, this gives body to
your hair. No matter how much
you use the blow dryer, the
top will remain flat because
the hair soaks up moisture from
the bottom while it is wet.
Begin styling the hair when
the scalp is completely dry
and 80% of the hair is dry.
Long hair tends to get very
damaged easily. Any hair passed
shoulder length can be considered
damaged. Hair is a build up
of dead cells, so it does not
have the ability to heal and
revitalize its own damaged areas.
Natural oils from your scalp
can only reach to your ear line.
If you keep this in mind every
time you shampoo your hair,
it will make a lot of difference.
