1. Less Is More: Avoid Washing Hair Every Day (Or Even Every Other Day)
The not-so-secret secret of the world's best-tressed? They don't wash their hair nearly as often as you'd think. “Overwashing your hair will strip it of the natural oils produced by your scalp,” Keri Duncan, a hair stylist at Amoura Hair Group, says. “Over time, your scalp will work double time to produce even more oil — well, you did wash it all off, after all! — to catch up, leaving you with an oily scalp.” To break the cycle, Duncan recommends that you “retrain your hair” by using a dry shampoo in between hair-washing days: “Of course, if you have a sweaty gym sesh, go ahead and wash it, but day-to-day activity doesn’t require a wash.”
2. Use Filtered, Lukewarm Water
As relaxing as a steamy shower may be, exposing your strands to super-high temperatures leaves them looking dry and lifeless (not to mention leads to faster color fade for those with dye in their hair). Though there's no exact temp that's been proven ideal, it’s best to stick to warm water rather than hot, according to hair stylist Mallory Jones. “The warm water opens the cuticle and aids in rinsing out built-up dirt and debris,” Jones says. “The No. 1 mistake people make when washing their hair is washing with super-hot water. Over time, regular hot water usage when washing can cause your hair to become brittle.”
3. Choose a Shampoo That Suits Your Hair Type
Shampoo isn't in your hair for that long, so it doesn't really matter what kind you use, right? Wrong, according to the pros. As with skin care, it's all about identifying your hair type and choosing a formula that’s best-suited for your needs. As Jazmin Alvarez, Founder of Pretty Well Beauty, put it, using products “for the hair you wish you had versus the hair you were born with” never tends to end well.
4. Shampoo Twice, And Use Gentle Pressure to Massage Your Scalp and Roots
Knowing how to cleanse your scalp and free it of product buildup is of utmost importance since healthy hair begins at the scalp — literally. The biggest tip? Be extra gentle. "Don't use your nails or massage the scalp too harshly," Oscar Blandi, the brains behind the Oscar Blandi hairline, says. "You want to apply minimal pressure. Your scalp might naturally feel it, but it's not as dirty as you think." That said, according to Blandi, two rounds of (gentle, non-abrasive) shampooing usually does the trick to clean your scalp — the first is purely to remove build-up. There's no need to rush this process: Devote one to three minutes to massaging. As an added bonus, the massage will boost blood flow to the scalp, which can help stimulate hair growth.
