For proper hair care, it is not enough to use a good shampoo, but the way of applying it is equally important. Dr Aanchal Panth She says that many people unknowingly make such small mistakes while shampooing, which can increase dryness, breakage and scalp related problems in hair. These may include over-shampooing, scrubbing the length of the hair vigorously, or using water that is too hot. If you also make such mistakes while washing your hair, then definitely know these important tips given by the doctor.
Do not make these mistakes while shampooing your hair
- Applying shampoo on slightly wet hair: Shampoo should never be applied on slightly wet hair but on completely wet hair. Before applying shampoo, wet your hair completely, so that water keeps dripping from it. This will require less shampoo and lather will also be created easily. You’ll have to apply less force and rub your hair less to create a lather, which will keep your hair safe. Don’t forget to wet your hair thoroughly before shampooing.
- Washing out shampoo too quickly: Shampoo contains ingredients that break down sebum (oil) and help clean the scalp. For these elements to take effect, leave the shampoo on the scalp for 3-5 minutes. This will clean the scalp more thoroughly.
- Applying shampoo only on the upper part of the scalp: Shampoo should be applied to the entire scalp. We often apply more shampoo on the top and too little on the back. The problem of dandruff and lice is more prevalent in this area. Keep in mind that the shampoo is applied thoroughly on the entire scalp.
- Using only medicated shampoo: First use medicated shampoo and then use regular shampoo. Medicated shampoos are prescribed for dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis etc. These are designed to reduce scalp flaking, but are not as good cosmetically. These can cause hair to become dry and lifeless. Always use regular shampoo and conditioner after medicated shampoo to restore shine and softness.
