5 Shampoo Tips For Healthier Hair

Healthy hair starts in the shower. Many people unknowingly damage their hair with simple shampooing mistakes. At Salon Studio 450 in Prescott, Arizona, we love helping clients build healthy hair habits. Here are 5 simple shampoo tips that can make a noticeable difference.

1-Brush before you wash.

Brushing helps remove tangles, distributes natural oil, removes fallen hair and reduces breakage.

2-Use warm water instead of hot.

Warm water cleanses effectively by opening the hair cuticle without stripping your hair's natural oils.

3-Always double cleanse!

The first shampoo removes product and any dirt. The second shampoo cleanses the scalp pf oil, sweat and helps the hair follicles to breath and grow hair.

4-Choose the correct shampoo for you.

There are a ton of options out there, see a professional to make sure you're using the correct one! Rinse well, leaving shampoo behind can cause buildup, dullness, itchiness and make hair feel greasy sooner.

5- Finish with conditioner

Choosing the correct conditioner is also important. Many have different results,

so be sure your hair is getting what it needs!

Living in a dry climate like we do often requires a few intentional choices. Moisture is always great in the form of a weekly or bimonthly mask. Alternate that with the conditioner when you do shampoo.

Bonus Tip:

If you only shampoo once a week or go several days in between washes, don't worry if the first shampoo doesn't lather much. The first wash will break down dirt, oil and sweat, the second one will bubble up and cleanse the scalp for a deeper clean.
