There are some peculiarities concerning the procedure of hair wash which are necessary to know. Before its procedure one should detangle tangles at first, it will help to get rid of hair prone to falling out. If there is an excessive sebum on your scalp, its daily wash doesn’t help to prevent the production of sebum which depends on the age, hormones, used styling products, the amount of physical exercises and the health of the scalp skin. Hair washed too often became dry and loses sebum which protects hair.
Washed hair should be conditioned. Before the wash one should put a small amount of shampoo onto the palm, rub it and apply to the wet hair. Then wash the hair to get rid of the shampoo. In the case of very oily hair the head may be washed twice to cleanse the scalp skin of extra sebum. When you wash your hair daily, it is not necessary to wash it twice.
 While washing one should not use fingernails, because it can hurt the scalp skin. If there is a necessity to get rid of dead skin cells and sebum, one may scratch gently the skin of the scalp with a small toothed comb. Massage the scalp with your hands and wash off the shampoo very well.
The procedure of hair wash should be finished with conditioning. Not all the hair types demand it. The conditioner should be remained on the hair for 3 minutes to be well absorbed. Then you should wash the hair thoroughly. Badly washed hair with the conditioner remained on it may be dull and tacky to the touch.
One may use only a conditioner to maintain the moisture of hair. Washed hair should be blotted dry, one should not rub the hair with a towel, because it lifts the cuticle. People with very thick hair may use micro fiber towels to absorb extra water from the hair.
The health of hair depends on the quality of water. City water is full of chlorine used for sanitation and hard minerals, which remain on the hair drying it. One should use a shower head filter to clean the water. It is good to use unsalted water from the source where the water flows freely; using rain water is also a good variant. To cleanse the water one may use a fine mesh cloth as a filter.
The procedure of hair wash should be finished with the rinsing with cold water which opens the cuticles and lessens the sebum production.
The choice of shampoo is also important. While choosing a shampoo pay attention to a pH level. A shampoo with a high pH level will dry the hair making it brittle. If you have oily hair you should use a shampoo with higher pH. If the pH is not available, you should dilute it with some water. The scalp skin has between 5 and 6.8 pH level. To lessen the negative effect of the shampoo one may use lemon or lime juice or a vinegar. Blondes should apply white vinegar which prevents their hair from being darkened, flavored or balsamic vinegars can not be used because they contain sugar.
The use of anti-dandruff shampoos is not very good because of their aggressiveness. They can irritate the skin and lead to the appearance of dandruff. Such shampoo as Nizoral, bought over the counter or prescribed, can be used in the treatment of bacterial infections off the scalp skin. If you observe flakes on your head it does not mean that you have dandruff. You should consult a doctor to find out what type of dandruff one may have and how it can be treated. You need medical help if the skin on your scalp is red and the bleeding is observed.
The procedure of hair wash should be conducted properly. Before the wash you should comb the tangles out of the hair, then we your hair with warm or cold water. Warm water opens the cuticles of the hair and helps to get rid of the sebum and dirt. Cold water closes the cuticles and makes the hair shiny.
Wash off the leave-on conditioner and styling products if applied before. Put a small amount of shampoo on the palm, rub it between the palms and apply it onto the scalp. The shampoo applied to the ends dries them and leads to their splitting. You should not mix the hair all over your head if you don’t want tangles appear in your hair. Then wash the shampoo off.
Shampoo used for the first time gets rid of extra sebum and dirt, shampoo used for the second time cures the hair. Let it be on your hair for some minutes and wash it off thoroughly. Remember that wet hair can be easily damaged, especially when you pull it. Then squeeze the water out of the hair. Then apply a conditioner on the washed hair for about ten minutes. Wash the hair well to get rid of the conditioner.
The procedure of hair wash is long and sometimes tedious, but it is helpful for the health of hair.
