You’ve been washing your hair wrong – the trick to cleaning it properly is actually really easy
A BEAUTY fan has shared the real reason why your hair never looks clean as it does after going to the hair salon.
The beauty fan said it’s all to do with how you wash your hair.
Abbey Yung said she noticed she wasn’t washing her hair properly and decided to switch up her method.
In a TikTok video online she said: “This is why your hair never looks as clean as it does after the salon.”
Abbey shared a photo of her washing her hair from behind to explain the problem she noticed was occurring.
She said she simply wasn’t reaching all of her scalp with shampoo when washing her hair in the shower.
“I took this video when I was testing out a new shampoo, and as you can see here, when I lift up my hair, there is so much hair underneath that isn’t touched by the shampoo.
The beauty fan explained you wouldn’t have this issue in a hair salon as you’re usually lying down when you get your hair washed.
“At the hair salon, our head is back in a bowl, so we don’t have gravity working against us in the same way.”
“And our stylist can really get in and massage every square inch of our scalp.”
Abbey says she now flips her hair upside down when washing her hair so she can reach all of her scalp.
“So how I solve this problem is after applying shampoo like this, I’ll flip my head upside down, massage every single section of my scalp, especially those that I normally miss, like this one right here.”

“I flip my hair back up and rinse, and it’s so much cleaner, I promise. You have to try.”
Abbey’s video went viral with over 1.7 million views.
Whilst many viewers agreed this was the best way to wash your hair many pointed out it should be common sense.
One user said: “This is the funniest video I’ve seen on this topic. There’s absolutely no reason why you cannot shampoo your hair at home correctly, it’s not hard.”
Another said: “Because of my limited mobility I have only ever washed my hair upside down and I have always gotten so many compliments on my hair.”
A third viewer said: “No baby, that’s just you.”
A fourth said: “I’m gonna try tonight but I feel like I might faint.”
