For men or women, there are tons of different types of shampoos and conditioners to choose from in the store! It's very important to learn how to find the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. Buying the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type is so important that your hair looks and feels good. Combine the right shampoo and conditioner by washing and using the right conditioner, and your hair will look better than ever!
Step
Method 1 of 3: Washing Hair
Step 1. Wash hair evenly using warm water
Your hair should be thoroughly soaked before you use shampoo. Using warm water is very important, because warm water will help to open the cuticles on the hair. After soaking wet hair with warm water, the dirt that sticks to the hair will begin to disappear. In addition, warm water will also help your hair and scalp absorb the conditioner properly.
- Let your hair completely wet before you shampoo.
- Consider using a water filter that will filter impurities from the water you use. Your hair will rinse well and will feel softer.
Step 2. Set the hair if you have long hair before you shampoo
This may be new to you, but if your hair falls down to your shoulders, you may need to add more conditioner to the ends to keep them strong. Use a nickel seed-sized conditioner on your hands and then rub it through the ends of your hair. This will protect the ends of your hair from splitting and also make them shine!
Step 3. Gently massage the shampoo into the hair roots
Pour the shampoo into the palms of your hands up to one-fourth if your hair is short or rather long. You can double it if the length of the hair goes past your shoulders. Rub the shampoo into the palm of your hand using the other hand and then gently rub it on the roots of your hair, massaging it, not just rubbing it. Also, make sure you also use it on the back of your head.
Do it gently, don't rub your hair and avoid doing circular motions! Do not let you damage the cuticle on the hair
Step 4. Don't shampoo the ends of your hair if you have long hair
You need to shampoo more at the roots of your hair, as this is where the oils in your hair come from. You may need little or no shampoo at the ends of your hair, because these are the parts that are already brittle and dry.
If you have hair care products, you can shampoo your hair once a week
Step 5. Rinse hair and squeeze out any remaining water on hair
Rinse your hair with warm water until the shampoo is gone. Run your fingers through your hair to pull the water out of your hair if you have short hair. Gently squeeze the hair to reduce the water from the middle to the ends so you can apply conditioner if you have long hair.
Method 2 of 3: Using Conditioner On Hair
Step 1. Apply the conditioner evenly on the hair if the hair is no more than 7 centimeters long
You can use a quarter of the conditioner. You can leave the conditioner on your hair for 2 to half minutes, and you can use that time to shave or finish your shower. If you use conditioner for normal hair, you can use it every day.
Rinse hair properly using lukewarm water. If your hair isn't looking great, you probably didn't rinse it properly after using the conditioner
Step 2. Use conditioner on the middle and ends of your hair if you have long hair
Apply a spoonful of conditioner on the palms of your hands. Don't worry about applying conditioner to your hair roots. Your hair has produced enough oil from the roots of the hair.
- Pin your hair, and finish your shower. The longer your hair is left in the conditioner, the better it will absorb. Keep hair clips in the bathroom for reuse.
- You can also use a hair tie to lift the hair, but be careful not to lift the hair too high so as not to damage the cuticle of the hair. Remember, hair is very fragile when it's wet.
- You can also use a hair cap to keep the conditioner from rinsing out as you continue to shower.
Step 3. Let the conditioner sit on your hair for 10 minutes after you shower if you have long hair
If you want to finish your shower quickly to conserve water or have trouble drying your hair, this will give your hair more time to absorb the oils in the conditioner. Make sure you pin your hair or cover it with a towel so you don't get in the way.
Step 4. Rinse your hair with cold water if you have long hair
The cold water will help seal the cuticles in your hair and keep them moist and the oils from the conditioner stick to your hair. Your hair will look shinier if you keep doing this step regularly every time you shower.
Make sure to rinse all the conditioner out of your hair. if there is still conditioner in the hair, the hair will look limp and oily
Step 5. Use a conditioner that doesn't have to be rinsed off
Currently there are types of conditioners that do not have to be rinsed off for men or women. This type of conditioner will strengthen the hair, and will make the hair more elastic. After you shower, apply this conditioner when your hair is wet.
- Bed Head, Aveda, and Paul Mitchell have leave-in conditioners for men.
- Some people say that this type of conditioner makes their hair easier to manage if they shampoo every day.
Method 3 of 3: Choosing the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
Step 1. Purchase shampoo and conditioner for normal hair types if your hair is shorter than 7 centimeters
Shampoo for normal hair can work well on nine out of ten people whose hair is no more than 7 centimeters. However, if you have problems with your scalp being either too wet or too oily, buy a shampoo for oily hair or an anti-dandruff shampoo.
Step 2. Curl your hair if you have fine, weak, or oily hair
For this type, it is usually called a shampoo to thicken hair which is usually found on the female or male parts. This shampoo/conditioner will help give your hair more body.
- Avoid using shampoo/conditioner which can make your hair greasy. You need a soft-textured shampoo that you use every day or several times a day.
- If you have a problem with oily hair, you can use a wet shampoo while washing it. Men can use this type of shampoo too, it will help your hair look fresh even if you don't wash it! This type of shampoo is also very good because it will increase the thickness of the hair.
- You may not have to use conditioner if you have oily hair. Try to use a spray conditioner that doesn't contain too much conditioner and has tea tree oil in it to absorb the oil in your hair.
Step 3. Strengthen your hair with a protein-based shampoo if you work with your hair often
If you dye or give your hair something, use a shampoo that contains wheat and soy extracts or amino acids! Men's hair care usually doesn't offer shampoo and conditioner for this hair type; You don't have to be embarrassed about buying shampoo for women if you want to keep your hair color. Look for a shampoo that maintains the color of your hair, or you can use a baby shampoo that won't damage your hair.
- Use conditioner only on the ends of your hair if you have long hair. Your hair has enough natural oils at the roots to allow you to use conditioner only on the middle and ends of your hair.
- Avoid conditioners that contain silicone, as they can cause hair loss. Of course you want to keep your hair color. In addition, do not wash your hair every day because it can fade hair color.
Step 4. Look for a shampoo that can smooth and straighten your hair if you have coarse and/or frizzy hair
Good shampoos for coarse or frizzy hair usually contain wheat germ, macadamia or almond oil, or contain shea butter. You can also use a shampoo or conditioner that contains glycerin or silicone to keep your hair looking fresh.
- You can also use hot oil treatments regularly to help straighten your hair.
- Use a moisturizing conditioner every time you wash your hair.
Step 5. Use a creamy shampoo if you have dry or frizzy hair
Coconut, argan, grape and avocado oils are great ingredients for dry hair. Use a moisturizing conditioner every time you wash your hair.
You can also use a special shampoo for dry hair or to color your hair to straighten your hair if you have frizzy, dry hair, as these can help moisturize your hair
Step 6. Change the type of shampoo you normally use if you have dandruff
This is a good method to fight dandruff. Replace the shampoo you usually use with a shampoo that contains salicylic acid, and one that contains pyrithione zinc, and another that contains selenium sulfide because shampoos with these ingredients are able to remove dandruff spots. Also, replace your regular shampoo with a shampoo that contains moisturizers to keep your hair moisturized and get rid of dandruff.
