Washing your hair is not as simple a process as it seems at first glance. To make it more useful, experts suggest adding a few movements to the procedure.
In order for hair washing to bring more benefits to the hair, it is not enough to simply soap the curls and wash off the foam.
Dermatologists and trichologists recommend washing your head with shampoo twice: spending at least a few minutes on this process, ideally using a silicone massager to massage the scalp.
Of course, buying an inexpensive massager and finding a place for it on the bathroom shelf is not so difficult. But let's be honest: you are unlikely to use it regularly. Such a procedure takes a lot of effort and time. And it is often accompanied by tangled hair and painful sensations, which also does not motivate to perform a massage during each head wash.
However, you can still make washing more useful:
- Wash strands with shampoo for at least one and a half minutes, to achieve the appearance of a volumetric foam. First of all, this is how you wash your hair better. And secondly, such an action will replace a mini-massage and improve the blood circulation of the scalp.
- Pull the hair at the roots. As if you want to tear them out! Of course, it should be done gently and carefully, combining it with the process of washing your head. This movement also has a great effect on blood circulation and helps prevent hair loss. And it is also very pleasant to do. The relaxation effect is guaranteed!
- At the end of the procedure, gently walk your fingers over the skull, performing tapping movements. After relaxing pulls, it will help invigorate and relieve tension from the scalp. And such an exercise improves metabolic processes in the hair follicle - and helps deeper penetration of cosmetics, whether it is a mask, shampoo or permanent care.
You can also massage with pulling strands and tapping on dry hair: for example, before going to bed to relax faster. However, it is worth considering that due to contact with hands, the scalp secretes more sebum, and the strands will lose freshness more quickly, will become fatter at the roots. Therefore, it is better to perform a mini-massage while washing your head.
