2. Shampoo Twice

So I've been doing this tip for shampooing hair for about a year now and it works so great! So the deal with the shampooing twice is the first time is sort of like the primer. It washes away all of the products that you have in there. The second shampoo is to finally allow the product to work. If your hair is looking a little lifeless and dull, try shampooing twice!

3. Use Warm Water in the Beginning

When you are shampooing one of the tips for shampooing hair is to open up the cuticle of your hair – by using warm water! Warm water allows the hair to really open up and allow the shampoo to get in and clean. So start out with warm water ladies and end with colder – you'll see why!

4. Rinse Hair with Cool Water

Embrace your individuality and transform your look by trying out a unique shade. Did you know that green hair is associated with nature, creativity, and growth? So go ahead, experiment with this bold hair color to represent a new phase in your life, waiting to blossom like a fresh spring leaf.

5. Wring Your Hair before Conditioner

One of the major tips for shampooing hair is all about wringing your hair before you condition! Ladies, this is important because wet, wet hair can actually cause your conditioner to be watered down, which means that it won't work as well. So girls, have you been wringing out your hair before you condition?

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. No Conditioner on Your Scalp

Did you know that your scalp actually produces a lot of natural oil? So much that you actually don't need to condition your scalp at all! Just condition the middle of your hair all the way down to your tips. That will honestly make all of the difference in the world ladies!

Thinking...

7. Leave Conditioner in for a Minimum of 2 Minutes

Finally, do you constantly wonder how long to leave your conditioner on? I did, before I read that leaving it on for a minimum of 2 minutes is best! Not only will that lock in the moisture to your hair, but it will allow the conditioner time to set. Trust me on this tip for shampooing hair ladies, it works!

    I do all of these out of habit! With leaving in the conditioner, a good thing to do is put it in, then do body wash/shaving (whatever you usually do after conditioning) and THEN wash out your conditioner. So you're not wasting as much water! Yay for saving water!!! However, I've heard shampooing twice may be bad for your hair?

    You should pat your hair with a towel instead of "wringing it out" . It is a lot gentler.
