Most of us think we have been washing our hair all our lives so we don't need to pay any attention to that. However, we might be washing our hair the wrong way and contributing to its damage.

a)The individual strands of hair are actually very delicate. So we cannot just tug and pull.

b)The first thing to do while washing the hair is to comb the tangles out of the hair. Then, wet your hair thoroughly under the shower. For best results use warm water to open the scale-like cuticles of the hair and wash all the oil and dirt off. And then, you can rinse your hair with cold water to close the cuticles and add to the shine of your hair.

c)Pour a dollop of shampoo in your palm. Rub your hands together, and then apply the shampoo to your scalp. After this, rinse the shampoo off.

d)Repeat the process, but let the shampoo sit on for around a couple of minutes. Rinse the hair completely after this.

e)To get the excess water off your hair, just squeeze the water out. Do not pull or tug at the hair because the hair is at its most delicate when it is soaked. When the excess water is out, apply a dollop of conditioner and apply it along the hairline, the nape and the ends of the hair. Pile your hair inside a shower cap and let the conditioner stay there for around 10 minutes. And then, rinse if off completely.
