Hair washing tips to reduce hair loss

Hair loss is a very common phenomenon that many people experience. In particular, hair loss often increases after washing. Therefore, it's important to know some tips when washing your hair to reduce hair loss.

Brush your hair smoothly before washing.

To minimize hair loss during shampooing, we should use a wide-toothed comb to smooth the hair before washing.

Brush the ends of your hair first, then gently brush down the length of your hair. When your hair is brushed smooth before washing, shampooing and scalp massage become easier, thus reducing hair loss.

There are many tips to help reduce hair loss when washing your hair.

Wet your hair

The process of wetting your hair can take a long time depending on its thickness. While wetting your hair, run your fingers through it to ensure that all parts of your hair (including the ends) are thoroughly wet. Additionally, to help the cuticles expand and allow the hair to absorb conditioner more easily, you can use warm water to wet your hair.

Mix shampoo and water and apply to the scalp.

Remember not to use too much or too little shampoo. Mix the shampoo with a little water in your palms before applying it evenly to your scalp and hair. This way, the direct impact of the shampoo on your scalp is reduced, preventing product waste.

You should massage and cleanse your scalp more than the ends of your hair. The ends of your hair will be cleaned when you rinse it, as the water will wash away any remaining sebum and dirt.

Gently massage the scalp.

Gently massage your scalp for about 3 minutes. This is the correct way to wash your hair and effectively increase blood flow. While doing this, you should not use your fingernails to scratch your scalp vigorously as this can easily cause scratches and irritation.

Use conditioner

Applying conditioner directly to the scalp can make it oilier. Instead, applying conditioner from mid-lengths to ends is one of the proper ways to wash your hair.

Next, leave the conditioner on your hair for a while. The application time varies depending on the product. Some conditioners need about 2-3 minutes to take effect, while others may take 5-7 minutes.

The effect of using conditioner as a hair mask is to soften and smooth the hair, resulting in long, shiny hair after it dries completely.

Rinse your hair thoroughly.

Rinsing your hair is an essential step to ensure that all soap is removed, preventing your hair from becoming heavy and greasy, which can lead to dandruff.

If you have dry hair, you can rinse it with cold water because cold water acts as a natural barrier, preventing the hair's natural oils from drying out and making it stronger.

Dry your hair

Next, use a soft towel to gently pat your hair dry, instead of rubbing it vigorously. Hair is at its weakest when wet, and applying strong force at this time will cause more hair loss.

Another way to dry your hair is to use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt. Avoid rough fabrics as they can easily damage your hair.

You shouldn't wash your hair too often.

Hair experts recommend a suitable frequency of about 3-4 times per week (excluding unforeseen circumstances such as rain or dirt).
