How to wash your hair properly

[magosienne]

I stumbled accross her videos a while ago, and this one is great. This lady has a really long hair, but really everyone can benefit from these tips. I used to do all the don'ts in hair washing, and my routine now is very close to her, it makes a big difference in your hair state.

she also has other tutorials on how to braid your hair, i find them helpful

I'm totally going to try this technique tonight. I'm totally guilty of shampooing and balling it up on my head, wringing it out like a towel =(. Maybe this will help my breakage

Oh yeah, thanks for posting that video! Good to know =)

Don't

You'll spend less time detangling, and don't wringle, and pat the towel on your hair. I have really reduced the amount of breakage and tangles on my lengths. Also use a comb to detangle your hair (i like the big combs, those looking like a big fork), no brush.

I have been doing it all wrong... I ball it up on my head making it tangle and then I use a wide toothed comb to comb my conditioner through and detangle my hair... I wring it out like a towel...

I will definitely be trying this out....

Yay I already do all of that. I kind of had to figure it out when I wanted to grow my hair out and it kept getting breakage. Now it's more than halfway down my back w/o problems =)

When I shampoo I don't throw my hair in a ball on the top of my head, I just massage it into my scalp. Good tips though, thanks.

thanks for posting the video hun

wow i totally washed my hair the wrong way i would like ball it up and it would always get so tangly afterwars. And I've been using waaaay to much shampoo.

I follow most of these, but I worked in a salon for a little while and picked up some of the habits of the girls who worked there.

I never ball up my hair, and I use just a small amount of shampoo on the roots. I am gonna try the squeegee thing though!

When I condition, I use a fairly small amount as well, for two reasons. One is that I find when I use too much, it weighs my hair down no matter how much I rinse. The other is that I have a pet peeve about running out of conditioner before shampoo. I just leave the conditioner in for a few minutes like she does.

I do wring my hair out a lot though, which is something I'm gonna stop doing now! Squeegee all the way!

Is it weird that I'm excited to wash my hair now?

Ive been washing my hair this way for a while now and it does help with the tangles.

I use this technique, I do comb my conditioner through as well, it helps distribute it since mine is quite thick. I always go through my conditioner faster than the shampoo. My shampoo lasts about 3 moonths since I was told only to wash the scalp. Excellent tutorial!
