In this article, we will talk about how to properly wash your hair. This should be done as the skin becomes dirty and depending on the type of hair. On average, 1-3 times a week, but not every day. Washing too often dries the roots and makes the hair look like a bristle. In this case, the sebaceous glands begin to work more actively and the head becomes dirty faster. In the end, what good, you have to wash it twice a day.
Shampoo myths
Myth 1. Abundant foam during washing indicates the high quality of the shampoo.
Truth. Foam density is not a quality indicator - it only indicates a high detergent content.
Which shampoo is better
Bad answer: the one that matches the hair type. Smart answer: it's hard to guess because hair type is unstable, like a woman's mood. In winter, under the hat, the hair can become oily, in summer after the beach - dry. They are affected by hormonal levels and a host of other implicit reasons. Therefore, the concept of "your" shampoo for life does not exist. Choose it according to the situation and personal impressions of use.
Shampoo myths
Myth 2. The scalp is dried with shampoos with synthetic detergents.
Truth. Any detergent dries the skin, as it removes the protective fat layer from it.
Can I wash my hair with cold water
Undesirable. Cold water, of course, makes hair shiny and invigorates the mind, but narrows the blood vessels of the skin. The blood supply to the hair follicles deteriorates, the hair becomes weaker. The optimum temperature for washing is 35-40 degrees. And for shine, just rinse your hair with cool water or rinse the ends with it.

Myth 3. The quality of the shampoo is determined by the quality of the detergents.
Truth. Most shampoos - both "good" and "bad" - use the same detergent.
How to apply shampoo
First, lather it with your palms, and then apply to your head. This makes it easier to distribute the shampoo so that each strand gets its own portion. For frequent washing, it is enough to lather your hair once. If more rarely, reapply the shampoo, halving the amount.

Myth 4. The high content of decoctions from plants is great.
Truth. The herbal decoction at an effective concentration usually has a rich brown color. The shampoo says "90% broth," but is it green? Hmm ...
Why do you need a balm, conditioner and hair mask
Then, that good shampoo is also a myth. If you want to fully care for your hair, give up the idea that shampoo will do something good for it. The only purpose of this product is to cleanse the hair from impurities. At the same time, it removes the fat layer necessary for the hair and reveals its scales, making the hair vulnerable, dry and unruly. To reduce the negative effects of shampoo, rinse it off as soon as possible.

Myth 5. Instead of regular shampoo, it is better to use 2 in 1 or more.
Truth. Shampoo is the opposite of balm and conditioner, so it's best to use them separately.
Hair balm and conditioner are used to "save" hair after shampoo. They cover the scales so that the hair does not lose moisture, and cover them with a protective layer. Both products are necessary to prepare hair for harmful influences, for example, for drying with a hairdryer. Balm differs from conditioner in that it slightly nourishes the hair. And the conditioner prevents electrification and makes the hair manageable for brushing.
What is a hair mask? It is a product for intensive care and restoration of hair health. It nourishes the curls and scalp much deeper than a balm, contains substances that enhance capillary blood flow and often medicinal components. Masks are rarely used, but aptly.
