Despite carefully choosing the shampoo and conditioner that is used, many people find that the result when it comes to hair hygiene is not the desired one. Either the cleaning does not last as long as expected, or the hair does not show its splendor. That is why, it seems, it is not enough to buy a good quality product.

To have clean, silky and shiny hair there are a series of recommendations that must be taken into account. For this reason, Infobae consulted specialists who shared their best-kept secrets to achieve a hairdressing wash, but at home.

 

Apparently, washing is not only reduced to applying the shampoo, rinsing, applying the conditioner and finishing with a cold water rinse to give the hair more shine. There are a series of steps and questions that yes or yes should be known for a better result.

Before starting, it is worth knowing that “the function of the shampoo is to cleanse the scalp and it should be chosen according to the type of scalp and not according to the type of hair”. As explained by the dermatologist and trichology specialist Miguel Marti (MN 129,557), "it is normal to believe that the shampoo is responsible for making the hair look beautiful and in reality it is not responsible for hair cosmetics." "Generally, conditioners are what make hair look and feel nice." added

Now yes, after choosing the right products, “it is essential to untangle the hair before washing it. It is an action on the scalp where product remains are eliminated, blood circulation is stimulated and thus the hair is prevented from getting tangled during washing, facilitating better absorption of the shampoo”, recommended the medical specialist in aesthetic medicine Johanna Furlan (MN 122.975), who emphasized that "the way the product is applied will determine the effectiveness of the wash."

 

And he detailed: “First we must moisten the hair with warm water, then we apply the shampoo in the hand and distribute it, never directly on the hair, letting the product only work at the root and letting the rest of the hair clean with the foam that falls from the middle to the ends, without adding more and without rubbing”.

In the opinion of the technical director of Hairssime, Julieta Expósito, "all cosmetic products have secrets in their way of use, the minimum to maximum application time, the intensity of the massage in the application and how to distribute it are the most key" .

At this point, for her, "we must remember the maximum rule that indicates that the shampoo is to clean the scalp, that is, the skin, then the decisions that are made will be based on this rule." "Having said that, the setting time of a shampoo is 60 to 180 seconds, or one to three minutes," she pointed out.

What does it depend on to leave it more or less time? "In principle, the type of scalp and not the hair we have and obviously if we need to remove any styling product," explained Expósito.

On this, Furlan added: “One of the secrets of healthy hair is to massage the scalp to stimulate blood circulation. It is essential to take one to three minutes while washing your hair to perform the massage that helps strengthen the scalp and at the same time provides a feeling of well-being.

“Oily skin requires deep cleansing products that are not formulated with oils -she highlighted Expósito-. The maximum time of pose is recommended, a very good distribution of the product to better emulsify it and a soft massage so as not to stimulate the sebaceous gland. The massages must be delicate so as not to irritate the skin and the intensity will depend on how much we need to stimulate the blood supply and the sebaceous gland so that we can show off beautiful hair”.

 

 

At this point, Marti pointed out that “in those hair that look dry, bleached, mistreated or with a lot of cosmetic damage, what is recommended is to do what is called pre poo, that is, apply the conditioner before washing. Use conditioners with high moisturizing capacity about ten minutes before washing your hair and then wash your hair.” "What this does is that when the shampoo cleanses the scalp, it will not affect the cosmetic quality of the hair, reducing shine or increasing frizz."

Regarding the conditioner, Furlan pointed out that "it is ideal to apply it without the oils of these products touching the skin of the back, since by adhering to it they clog the pores." “I recommend applying the conditioner and pinning the hair up while we lather up the body to avoid leaving any residue on the skin,” she noted.

Finally, one of the most common mistakes that are usually made is rubbing the hair with shampoo at the ends. "Shampoo is a product that, although it has moisturizing properties, is formulated to clean dirt and if we rub the hair we remove its natural protective layer," explained Expósito, and recommended: "Once the scalp is washed, the hair is allowed to water runs and with the hand as a comb drags the product that remains in the middle and ends, in this way the cuticle is not opened, preventing the hair from drying out”.

"In addition to the massage, it is important to rinse the hair with a final cold water rinse," Furlan advised, almost at the end of the wash. The cold closes the hair cuticles and prevents the scalp from getting oily, in addition to providing natural shine.

Finally, Marti shared other aspects that should be known: “It is important to take into account the thickness and length of the hair and what is the aspect that you want to give it. If you have little or fine hair, you should look for products without silicones, not because they are bad, but because they add weight to the hair and will give it a less voluminous appearance. On the other hand, for more porous hair, products with silicones will be necessary to reduce frizz, control volume and give an appearance of better structure.

And she insisted: “The shampoo has a single purpose, which is to clean the scalp; the cosmetic finish is done by the conditioning before and during the wash, as well as the subsequent one that is done until the next wash”.
