Determine your hair type: Understanding your hair type (straight, wavy, curly, or coily) and its specific needs is the first step in creating a personalized routine.
Choose the right shampoo and conditioner: Select products that are suitable for your hair type and concerns, whether that's dryness, oiliness, dandruff, or damage.
Wash your hair regularly: How often you should wash your hair depends on your hair type and lifestyle, but typically, 2-3 times a week is a good starting point.
Use lukewarm water: Avoid hot water, as it can strip your hair of essential oils and cause dryness. Use lukewarm water to wash and rinse your hair.
Gentle shampoo application: When washing your hair, massage the shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips, not your nails, to avoid damage.
Condition properly: Apply conditioner primarily to the ends and lengths of your hair, not the scalp.
Rinse thoroughly: Ensure you rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly to remove all product residue, as leftover product can lead to build-up and scalp issues.
Trim regularly: Schedule regular haircuts to remove split ends and maintain healthy hair growth. Trimming every 6-8 weeks is a good guideline.
