The Shampoo Guide

Our 4 steps to great looking hair

If you follow these tips you should get the best results from using your shampoo.

Hair Preparation
This mainly applies to people with long hair or hair prone to knotting, although it will benefit all hair types. Before wetting it is best to detangle as much hair as possible as shampooing will only make it more tangled. Use a wide toothed comb, and run it through your hair, starting at the ends and working your way towards the scalp.

Hair Wetting
Before you apply shampoo to your hair, make sure that it is as wet as possible. Use warm water. The wetter your hair is the less shampoo you will need.
Shampooing
Pour the shampoo into your hands and rub them together, then apply the shampoo evenly over your head. Use your fingertips to carefully massage the entire scalp area making sure to avoid scratching the scalp with your fingertips. To achieve best results, the shampooing and lathering should take about three minutes. If you wash your hair daily then you should only lather once, if however you do not wash daily then you should lather twice.
Rinsing
The most common cause of dull hair is inadequate rinsing. You cannot over rinse so make sure that you rinse very thoroughly. It is not just about getting the lather out but also removing any impurities.
