You're doing it wrong- Washing your hair

Hey everyone! It's Friday! Anyone else excited?!

I'll be heading off to Milwaukee for the weekend so won't get many blogs done, but check out my Facebook official page: "Sierra's hair&beauty" for fun updates!

Today I'd thought I'd throw in a post on the correct way to wash your hair. I know, it sounds but silly. but as you read it, just ask yourself if you do that or not, and you'll be surprised(:

1. Start with a rinse.

Now I find this to be the most obvious, but however others do not do it this way. Just like laundry needs a rinse cycle, so does your hair! Hot water opens of the cuticle which will help remove dirt or trapped product.

2. If you have long hair, condition first

I know, crazy right? If your hair is beneath your shoulders, protect your fragile ends by running a small amount of conditioner through them and then lightly rinsing before you shampoo. This will fill in any holes in teh cuticle with moisture making it smooth and shiny!

3. Lather it up- but only at the scalp

The best way to lather up is from the roots to the ends. The hair closest to the scalp is the healthiest,youngest hair which makes it the oiliest.And don't use too much shampoo. You really one need like a quarter size(maybe double if you have long hair)

4.Be gentle

Friction can damage your cuticle leading to breakage and frizz, and nobody wants that. If you lather at the scalp, it will create blood flow and stimulate hair growth. DO NOT USE CIRCULAR MOTIONS. Use verticle strokes with medium pressure.

Then, smooth your lather down to your ends in a straight stroking motion. DO NOT SCRUB YOUR ENDS

5.Do not rinse and repeat

Despite what the shampoo instructions say, there's no need to wash it twice.Unless the hair is extremely and the first time didn't produce "bubbles", go ahead and do it agin. but that is the only exception!

6.Add conditioner from the mid-lengths to the tips.

So the mid-lengths are about and inch or two from the scalp.Squeeze all the access water out of your hair before applying conditioner.Then put a shower cap on or clip your hair up and finish your shower leaving the conditioner to be the last thing you take care of. The longer you leave it, the better it absorbs. DO NOT PUT CONDITIONER ON YOUR ROOTS. The oil from your scalp is  more concentrated there.
