How to Maintain Black, Lustrous Hair in Autumn?
Common Mistakes in Hair Washing and Care
More foam means better cleaning Almost everyone believes more foam equals better cleaning power, but this is untrue—cleaning efficiency doesn’t correlate directly with foam quantity.
Shampooing daily is bad Daily shampooing stimulates sebaceous glands to produce more oil, leading to greasy hair. Frequent washing keeps hair clean and removes grease, so even daily washing benefits hair.
More combing is better Brushing hair 100 times daily makes it shinier and healthier—a common misconception. Excessive brushing, especially with stiff-bristled combs, causes split ends and damages scalp.
More conditioner is better Applying large amounts of conditioner yields better results—false. Too much conditioner leaves residue, making hair greasy and sticky.
Correct Hair Washing
Massage scalp before washing to loosen dirt; wet hair completely with warm water; place a small amount of shampoo in palm, lather, then apply to hair. Gently massage scalp with fingertips, lightly comb strands with fingers; finally rinse thoroughly.
How to Dry Hair
After washing, letting hair dry naturally is ideal. If using a towel, first absorb all moisture with half the towel, then use the other half to dry the back of the head—removing most moisture. Then let hair dry naturally with slight breeze. Towels made of hemp or pure cotton work best.
Gentle Massage Is Essential
After washing, gently massage the scalp with fingers to promote blood circulation, delivering more nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to hair follicles, thus growing healthy, beautiful hair. Avoid using fingernails on the scalp—only use fingertip pads. Start massaging from the forehead area with hair, press firmly in fixed spots, gradually move forward, then proceed to crown, sides, and neck area. Regular washing and massage effectively prevent hair loss caused by dirty, dry hair. Shao Heying
