Hair Washing the Right Way
Back To Articles
For as long as shampoo has been marketed, there are three words we all have ignored. Those words are “Lather, Rinse and Repeat!” The majority of people simply believe these words to be instructions on how to use twice as much hair shampoo and thus purchase twice as much product from the store. In all actuality, the instructions are there for a purpose and you are probably using twice as much shampoo as you need to on your one wash pattern.
The key to washing your hair effectively is to wash both your hair and your scalp. The “lather” should only take about a quarter sized dollop of shampoo. This wash is aimed at removing the grime and dirt from the scalp. The second “lather” or “repeat” as the bottle words the step is for cleansing the hair and also should only take about a quarter sized dollop.
So, women all over the world, if you have been washing your hair with only one “lather” and rinse, you are not washing your hair and your scalp. The key to a long, fast growing, and shiny head of hair are a healthy scalp and healthy strands. The shampoo companies are not trying to get you to buy m ore shampoo, as a matter of fact; you are probably using more shampoo on your one wash than the recommended amount for two washings. Get out these and follow those directions ladies and notice how much longer your shampoo lasts and how much healthier your hair looks and feels.

| Yes ive noticed when i wash twice AND conditon twice[not once] my hair is VERY soft and more lightweight, resulting in some more volume. Ane I even have thin hair that has ZERO volume, and this has helped some. | |

| My hair is soo greasy. Even if I wash it every 2 days it goes so greasy. It looks gross...what can I do? | |
| Maryam | 04-30-2009 |
| It was useful | |
| Amy | 04-12-2009 |
| garnier is a great shampoo and it gives the hair a nice clean feeling but it needs more fragrance (you can barely smell it) and head and shoulders work well too and also leaves a great smell in your hair and to prevent damage hair you should blow dry your hair on cool . | |
| jacque | 04-12-2009 |
| shampooing of hair depends on the climate of your place, if you live in a tropical country, you should shampoo everyday the heat of the sun would cause the scalp to be oily and itchy.. | |
| Sammi | 03-21-2009 |
| Not every person needs to wash twice, too much can dry out the shaft and strip color. Shampoo should never be put on the ends, gravity will pull it down getting the hair clean. | |
| savvy | 03-13-2009 |
| i wash mine once every two days but gets greasy quickly do i use too much shampoo? | |
| heather | 03-02-2009 |

| Kristie | 12-09-2008 |

| Alyssa | 11-05-2008 |
| Yes, this acually works. but instead of putting only a quarter size in your hand double that. oh and Ff.J, to get around washing your hair every day, put cornstarch in it! | |

| hi i dont understand | |
| corkyness | 09-30-2008 |
| My hair stylist recommended this to me when washing hair: focus on washing the scalp when shampooing. Then when you rinse, you allow the soap to run through the rest of your hair. She claims there is really no need to put soap directly all over your hair. And when you condition, only put conditioner on the ENDS of your hair strands. My hair is thick, straight, and tends to be oily (which is why I wash it every day). What she recommended has worked for me for years! | |
| Holly | 09-30-2008 |
| This is a bunch of bull, when you wash your supposed to concentrate on your scalp. As you rinse the suds come into contact with the rest of your hair. No need to scrub the middle to the ends. But, I do agree I also used to use wayyy too much shampoo! (My hair is to the middle of my back) | |
