How to Properly Shampoo Hair at Home
Hello Freebirds! Taking care of our hair is essential to maintaining its health, shine, and vitality. While a visit to the salon provides that unbeatable pampering, we can achieve R+Co level results at home with the right technique. Let's deep dive into the art of shampooing and how to master it.
1. Choose the Right R+Co Shampoo for Your Hair Type
Before we even touch technique, it's paramount to select a shampoo that’s tailored to your specific hair needs. Whether curly, straight, oily, dry, or colored – R+Co has a range of products to suit every hair type. Do your research and pick the right formula. We are always happy to sample you any of our products!
2. Wet Your Hair Thoroughly
Ensure your hair is fully wet before applying shampoo. This ensures even distribution and effective cleaning of the scalp and strands.
3. Apply the Right Amount
Overloading won't do your hair any favors. Depending on your hair's length and volume, a dime size dollop or smaller should generally do the trick with R+Co it is very concentrated. Over-shampooing can deplete your hair of its natural oils.
4. Focus on the Scalp
The scalp is where the magic begins. Use your fingertips (avoid nails) to gently massage the shampoo in. This cleanses effectively and also stimulates blood flow which is great for hair growth.
5. Be Gentle with the Length
After the scalp, glide the lather down the hair length. Avoid aggressive rubbing; a gentle touch is all you need.
6. Rinse Well
Make sure all the shampoo is washed out to keep residues at bay. Leftovers can dull your shine and weigh hair down.
7. Cold Water Finish
Warm water is fine for initial rinsing, but always finish with cold water. This seals hair cuticles and gives that smooth, shine.
8. Pair with an R+Co Conditioner
If your hair tends to dry or tangle post-shampoo, don’t skip conditioning. Focus mainly on hair lengths and tips, steering clear of the scalp.
9. Drying the R+Co Way
Rubbing hair with a towel can be damaging. Gently blot or squeeze out excess water. If possible, air dry. When using a dryer, always go low-heat and opt for a heat protection spray.
10. Regular Tool Clean-Up
Your shampoo routine is only as effective as the cleanliness of your tools. Ensure your brushes, combs, and other hair tools are cleaned routinely to avoid transferring oil and dirt back to your cleaned hair.
Achieving R+Co standard hair care at home is totally within reach with the correct techniques and products. By properly shampooing and following the above guidelines, you're set for radiant, salon-esque locks. Keep shining, Freebirds! 💇♀️🌟
