Autumn is a season where hair loss is more common, so it is important to take care of your hair.
Common Mistakes in Hair Washing and Care
More foam is better: Many people believe that the more foam a shampoo produces, the better it cleans. However, this is not true, as the cleaning effectiveness is not directly related to the amount of foam.
Washing hair every day is not good: Washing your hair with shampoo every day can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, resulting in greasy hair. Regular hair washing can keep the hair clean and remove excess oil, so even washing it daily is not harmful.
Brushing hair more is beneficial: It is a misconception that brushing your hair 100 times a day can make it shinier and healthier. Brushing the hair too much, especially with a hard-bristled brush, can cause split ends and scalp damage.
Using more conditioner is better: Applying a large amount of conditioner may seem like it would provide better protection for the hair, but this is not true. Using too much conditioner can leave residue in the hair, making it greasy and sticky.
The Correct Way to Wash Hair
Before shampooing, massage the scalp to loosen dirt and impurities. Wet the hair with warm water. Take a small amount of shampoo in your palm, rub it to create foam, and then apply it to the hair. Gently massage the scalp with your fingertips and use your fingers to comb through the hair. Finally, thoroughly rinse the hair.
How to Dry Hair
After washing the hair, it is best to let it air dry naturally. If using a towel to dry the hair, first use one half of a large towel to absorb most of the water from the hair, then use the other half to dry the back of the head. After that, let the hair dry completely with natural airflow. Towels made of linen or pure cotton are ideal for drying the hair.
Gentle Massage is Essential
After shampooing, use your fingertips to massage the scalp. This can promote blood circulation in the scalp, allowing the hair to receive more nutrients, oxygen, and hormones, resulting in healthier hair growth. During the massage, avoid using your nails and only use the pads of your fingers. Start massaging from the area with hair on the forehead and gradually move towards the top of the head, the sides, and the back of the neck. Regular hair washing and massage have a good effect in preventing hair loss caused by dirt, dryness, and disorderly hair.
