Shampoo; The How To                                by Sara T

Shampooing hair is easy, lather, rinse, repeat...that is true only if you are an actress on
a shampoo commercial. This easy to follow how to will help your hair go from drab to
fab in one shampoo.

First Rule
Finding the right shampoo for your hair type is important (ask your stylist what is the best shampoo type for your hair). FYI
on shampoo.....
Color treated hair must use a color treated shampoo see keeping your hair color.
Naturally blonde hair use: lemon grass or blonde enhancing shampoo.
Fine Limp Hair: thickening shampoo, chelating shampoo, cleansing shampoo.
Thick Strait Hair: smoothing shampoo, or any professional shampoo.
Thick Curly Hair: smoothing shampoo, curl enhancing shampoo, any professional shampoo.
Thinning Hair: chelating shampoo or thinning hair shampoo.

Second Rule
Determining how often you should shampoo...
Color treated hair should follow rules outlined in keeping your hair color.
Curly hair should shampoo no more often than three times a week, preferably twice a week. Ends of hair should be
conditioned every time the hair is wet. Curly hair tends to be dry at the ends due to sebum's (scalp oil) inability to flow
down the shaft of curly hair by the time it is shampooed. Redistributing the scalp oil through-out the hair is important
daily.
Fine limp hair should be shampooed three or four times a week if scalp is slightly oily, two or three times a week if
scalp is dry. Sebum (scalp oil) and product build-up residue is more noticeable on fine limp hair which calls for more
washing.
Thick hair should shampoo once or twice a week. It is more important to brush and loosen the flaking skin on the
scalp and redistribute sebum (scalp oil) daily than it is to shampoo the hair.
Thinning hair if you are using a medicated shampoo follow manufactures instructions, otherwise shampoo one to
three times a week depending on how oily your scalp is.

Third Rule
How to shampoo your hair so that you receive the full benefit from your shampoo.
Completely wet your hair. A soaked head of hair will generate more lather and aid in the distribution of shampoo
throughout the hair.
Use a dime size of shampoo, rub between palms of hands
Begin lathering shampoo at nape of neck and work through the hair line across scalp. Nape of head tends to hold
more oil and sweat than rest of head, temples and hair line hold more oil than top of scalp. If you are not achieving
desired lather, re-wet hair (do not rinse out shampoo) and continue lathering. If needed add another dime size of
shampoo and begin process where you left off.
You do not need to apply shampoo to ends of the hair just scrunch your hair into the lather, the ends of the hair
does not receive sebum from the scalp. Porosity of the ends does have product build-up and dirt, however, only a
mild cleansing is necessary.
Rinse hair thoroughly, shampoo residue will leave hair dull, dry, and will attract and hold dirt and dust.
Rinse hair until water is no longer shows signs of suds. With thick hair or curly hair pat hair and lift to fully rinse
shampoo out.
Repeat this process if you use an abundance of product or waxes/pomades product.

Happy Shampooing!
