Shampoo
Good hair care begins before you Shampoo
MASSAGE YOUR SCALP EVERY TIME YOU SHAMPOO
A scalp massage is invigorating, relaxing and perfect
for easing tension. It encourages the massage oils
to penetrate the scalp to increase the blood supply’
enhance hair growth and shed dandruff. A tight scalp
becomes more pliable after a good massage. Greater
blood circulation to hair roots is encouraged
.
TRY A HOT OIL TREATMENT
If your hair has been straightened, relaxed, permed,
colored or blow dried, you have weakened your hair
fibers and they can easily break off. A hot oil treatment
is a beneficial deep moisturizing treatment. It helps
hair to become more flexible, less likely to break,
stronger, shinier. Apply oils before you shampoo.
To heat the oil, place the bottle into comfortably
warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Using a cotton ball,
distribute the oil to the hair near the roots then
comb through until all hair, ends and temples are
lightly coated. Wrap your head in a warm damp towel
or a conditioning cap for 15 to 20 minutes. Your hair
and scalp will absorb what is needed. Rinse with cool
water.
SHAMPOO
Important to achieve health for your hair and scalp
is shampooing. Infrequent cleansing leaves dirt, grime
and perspiration to dry and discolor hair. Bacteria
left on the scalp can cause pimples and rash. Scalp
pores become clogged with sebum that blocks and slows
hair growth. Your hair should always smell clean and
fresh to touch. Black hair will do best with a tangle-free
cream shampoo with softeners to prevent hair breakage
and maintain flexibility and strength. Shampoo with
fresh, clean water. Don’t shampoo while you
are in the bath. Bath water contains soap scum, body
dirt etc. Begin to shampoo at your scalp with the
pads of your fingertips. Massage scalp in a small
circular motion. Carefully cleanse each area of your
scalp then knead hair with the lather, rinse. Repeat
if hair is greasy or scalp feels itchy. Warm water,
rather than hot, is recommended because it is gentle
to your hair, especially if you have a perm or color
treatment.
RINSE well to be sure that no shampoo residue is
left to leave hair dull or to attract dust to the
hair. Towel dry without pulling or rubbing the hair.
