Step-by-Step: How to Shampoo Your Hair the Right Way

1. Wet Your Hair Thoroughly Use lukewarm water to open the hair cuticle and prepare your scalp for cleansing. 2. Apply Shampoo Dispense a small amount of shampoo into your palm. Focus on your scalp, where oil and buildup accumulate. 3. Massage Gently Use your fingertips (not nails) to massage the shampoo into your scalp in circular motions. This boosts circulation and helps remove impurities. 4. Rinse Completely Rinse your hair thoroughly to remove all shampoo residue, which can cause buildup and dullness. 5. Repeat if Needed For oily hair or after heavy product use, a second shampoo may be beneficial. 6. Follow with Conditioner Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends to hydrate and protect your hair.
