Shampoo

The purpose of a shampoo is to clean the hair. To remove build up and dirt. But Be careful because most shampoo's are too harsh and if you use them too much they might damage your hair by making it frizzy and dry. Especially curly hair.

How often you shampoo depends on your hair type. If you have Oily hair them you should shampoo your hair often but if your hair is dry you should only shampoo 1 to 2 times a week.

Shampoo Cleansing Ingredients To Avoid:

*Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

*Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

*Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

*Ammonium Xylene Sulfonate

*TEA Lauryl Sulfate

*Sulfur (in dandruff shampoos)

*Selenium Sulfide (in dandruff shampoos)

Please stay away from shampoos that contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This is the main Ingredient in most shampoos and the most damaging. Since this is consider a detergent that is too harsh and it strips the natural oils from your hair.

How to Shampoo you Hair

1.Soak hair. It's important that the hair is damped through thoroughly and evenly.
2.Petrosage. Petrosage is a scalp massaging technique to stimulate blood-flow to the scalp encouraging healthy hair and scalp.
3.Shampoo. Remember hair usually only needs one application of shampoo. More than this can lead to static or fly-away results and leave the hair unprotected from pollution and the environment.

4.Only Apply the shampoo to your scalp because when you rinse your hair the shampoo will run throughout your ends and it will cleanse it.
5.Rinse. It's important to ensure that no shampoo residue remains as this can dry the scalp out and create a flaky itchy scalp.

6.Condition. Distribute the conditioner evenly through the hair first using your fingers then using a comb. Focus on your ends.
7.Rinse. Rinse the hair thoroughly ensuring no residue is left behind. To finish use cold water which will close the cuticles and give your hair added shine.
8.Dry. Blot your hair with a towel. Do not scrub or vigorously rub your hair to remove the excess moisture. Doing so roughs up the cuticle of the hair and can cause frizziness.

9.Aply a leave in conditioner

10.Use a wide toothed comb to gently remove tangles. Don’t tug because hair will stretch and break more easily when it is wet.
