You’ve been washing your hair wrong – hairdresser reveals 7 essential steps and key move you need to do when shampooing
A HAIRDRESSER has revealed washing your hair “correctly” takes seven steps.
Ventura Hair Studio took to Tik Tok to share the industry-insider secrets for making sure your locks are thoroughly cleaned.
The revelations have shocked people who didn’t realise they weren’t giving their hair all the TLC it needs to be healthy and thrive.
The hair salon posted the video on their Tik Tok account @venturahairgroup and it has since garnered a whopping 2.7 million views.
Of those viewers, almost 140,000 liked the video and nearly 800 left comments.
Ventura Hair Studio, which is based in Market Bosworth, Leicestershire said the first step for “correct” washing was to make sure your hair is thoroughly wet.
Once it is thoroughly wet, the second step is to lather your shampoo in your hands before applying to your head.
The third step is to scrub the shampoo into your scalp to make sure you give the hair follicles a chance to open up.
The fourth step is to repeat the first three all over again.
Ventura Hair Studio penned: “Rinse and Shampoo again!
“Why? Because the first shampoo opens your hair cuticles and the second shampoo removes all the dirt and grease from the hair.”
The fifth step requires you to squeeze the excess water” from your hair before going in with your conditioner.
The salon then stressed its sixth step of applying conditioner should only include putting the product on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair – and not your roots.
Ventura Hair Studio also recommended massaging “your scalp to close the cuticle as this helps hair growth and increases hair thickness”.
The seventh and final step is rinse your hair with cold water to fully close your hair cuticle.
The salon assured people that if you start shampooing twice, “you’ll notice a difference in how clean your hair will feel”.
It also recommended using a hair mask once a week to keep your hair soft.
