Simply grab any shampoo you like, then rinse it out with water - and you're done washing your hair? None. Washing your hair seems like the most normal thing in the world, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Every move should be carefully considered.
WASH HAIR PROPERLY - THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
No matter whether in the shower or over the sink: First wet your hair completely with lukewarm water. The warmth of the water causes the cuticle layer of the hair to open slightly, allowing the fragrances and active ingredients of your cleaning and care product to have a more profound effect. Don't forget to wet your scalp with the water too. This opens the pores and makes the skin more receptive to subsequent care.
Then put a small dab of shampoo in the palm of your hand. Let the product foam up a bit and then massage it carefully into the hairline. Only then will it be the turn of the lengths. A subsequent exposure time of around one to two minutes is optimal so that the product's ingredients and cleansing surfactants can spread through your hair and scalp and develop their effect.

Then rinse the shampoo thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water. If your hair is dry, greasy or flaky, you can repeat the procedure. Last but not least, rinse again with cold water so that the cuticle of the hair closes again.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO IS IMPORTANT
When choosing your hair cleaning and care products, you shouldn't leave anything to chance. The most important preparations when washing your hair are shampoo, conditioner and lots of lukewarm water. However, it depends on your hair type, which conditioner and shampoo you use. For example, if you have split ends or brittle ends, your hair care should be rich and nutritious. With the help of special substances, the broken tips are repaired and smoothed. This gives the hair its natural shine back. If you have dry hair, you are well advised to use moisturizing shampoos and care products. This makes the hair appear smoother, healthier and shiny again.
TIP FOR WASHING HAIR PROPERLY:
You can also prevent split ends from forming again by not rubbing your hair dry as usual, but instead patting it dry with a soft towel. Also make sure not to comb the hair with a fine comb, but rather use a wide-toothed comb - or better yet: a brush. This protects the hair structure and prevents split ends and hair breakage.
DALKY SCALP DUE TO WRONG CARE PREPARATIONS?
If you suffer from flaky, cracked or red scalp, you can find relief in a gentle way. Provide the scalp with plenty of moisture before, during and after washing your hair. A high-quality honey or melon shampoo helps to soothe the skin and restore balance. We can also highly recommend our popular shampoo if you have an irritated scalp. After washing your hair, leave the product on for a few minutes and then rinse it out with water that is not too cold. While hot water promotes blood flow to the scalp, it can also cause irritation and cause the skin to become dry.

Using the wrong hair color is another factor in causing flaky scalp. It's best to opt for natural hair dyes if you feel like changing your hair color.
TIP FOR THE BEST HAIR WASH:
If only a few weeks have passed since the last coloring, you are well advised to only color the roots - but not the entire length. This protects the ends, prevents split ends and also prevents your sensitive scalp from coming into contact with chemical substances again.
THE PROVEN HOME REMEDY
No matter whether you have short or long hair: washing your hair too often dries out your hair and scalp. Women with oily hair are best off using a shampoo with a soothing effect. This reduces sebum production to some extent and the scalp calms down again. If you want to treat yourself to something particularly good, use the classic: Grandmother used birch water when she wanted to give her hair a pleasant scent and pamper her scalp with moisture. Put a few drops of birch water in the palms of your hands and spread the wonderfully scented liquid generously and with great care over the entire head. You will literally feel how good it feels!
THE GOLDEN BARLEY JUICE
Did you know that your hair really likes beer? In fact, after washing your hair, it will shine wonderfully if you spread a bottle of barley gold over it and massage it in carefully with your fingers. Don't worry about the beer smelling unpleasant in your hair later. That is exactly not the case. Instead, look forward to silky, shiny, fresh hair and a healthy scalp that feels great.
Every woman who wants voluminous hair should be careful when choosing her hair cleaning products. Look for shampoos, conditioners and conditioners that are perfectly tailored to your hair type. This means you can be sure that your hair and scalp are optimally cared for right from the start.
