Washing and drying your hair correctly


You may not think you need instructions for washing your hair, but
there’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything, including
washing and drying your hair! Follow these instructions and you’ll
end up with less hair damage and healthier, better-looking hair:
1. Wet your hair with plain warm water.
2. Put the shampoo in your hands and rub them together to
get the lather up before applying it to your hair.
3. Work the shampoo into the scalp and massage gently
with your finger tips to get the lather up.
4. Let your hair hang while you rinse it thoroughly.
If you’re in a bath tub, lean your head forward as you rinse
the shampoo out with warm water.
5. If you’re not using a shampoo that contains conditioner,
put a separate conditioner in your hands and apply it to
the scalp first before working it into the hair. Leave it on
for at least a couple of minutes and then rinse thoroughly
with warm water.
Shampoos combined with conditioners can be very effec-
tive for most men with short hair and for hair that’s not
damaged.
6. Towel-dry your hair gently by patting it; don’t rub your
scalp and hair briskly with the towel and don’t blow-dry
your hair when soaking wet.
7. Comb or brush your wet hair gently. If you use a condi-
tioner properly, the tangles should be relatively easy to
take out with a wide-toothed plastic comb or brush.
8. If you use a mousse, gel, or setting agent, it’s best applied
after you pat-dry your hair, when the hair is still damp.
So-called wet gels give the hair a glossy appearance.
9. If you blow-dry your hair, don’t do so when the hair is
soaking wet.
If you use a blow-dryer, be sure to keep it moving con-
stantly so that the heat isn’t concentrated in one area of
your hair. It’s always best to use the lowest heat and the
lowest speed you can get away with because high heat
causes hair damage. Also, damage generally occurs at the
end of the blow-drying cycle, so always turn off the drier
before your hair is completely dry.
