How To Wash Your Hair

We all take showers and have our habitual routines for every step, including how we wash our hair. Have you ever thought about if you are doing it right? And the order you should be applying shower products? We are going to break down the rhyme and reason for this process and why it’s vital for your hair and skincare.

How often should I wash my hair?

  • There is a lot of controversy around this question and the answer differs from person to person. It depends on your specific scalp needs. You need to find your own threshold for hair feel & quality between washes. In general- the less washes per week, the better. It’s best to consult with your stylist if you’re having trouble figuring out your shampoo schedule.

When should I use shampoo and conditioner?

  • Washing your hair from start to finish should be the first step in your shower routine (except if you’re exfoliating). We do this because some products, while good for the hair, can leave residue on our skin that should be washed off before leaving the shower.

Why do I wash my face and body last?

  • The longer you are in the shower the more time warm steam has to work its magic and open the pores on your body. This makes for a closer shave and deeper pore cleansing. Washing your body last will make sure that nothing is left behind on your skin.

Do I need to exfoliate?

  • Exfoliating is a great first step in your shower routine because it will allow you to get a closer shave and reduce the chances of getting an ingrown hair. It will also prep your skin to be washed later on and absorb more moisture.
