But sometimes, out of the blue, it can appear as though your washing routine isn’t working for you anymore – yet it can be tough to know how to rectify it....CONTINUE READING
But one hygiene expert has shared her “shampoo tips for healthy hair”, and TikTok user @madamesweat
has opened people’s eyes as to how they should actually be washing their hair, and the mistakes they may be making, without even realising.
She said: “Here’s five shampoo mistakes I bet you don’t even know you’re making.” Madame Sweat then advised people to “change your shampoo every two months.” ‘Why?’, you may ask. Well, she said: “You don’t want to get a build-up from the current ingredients.”
“Less is more”, she advised, recommending people use a “quarter-size” of product on the hand, which is similar to the size of a penny in the UK. Then, the third tip was “never apply your shampoo in the same area” as you need to “target different areas of your head.” She also said that “too much friction can damage your hair”, recommending that when you lather the shampoo up, you use “fingertips, not the palms of your hand”, as this will cause too much friction.
Madame Sweat also said that you shouldn’t rinse your hair with “too hot water”, saying that you should turn the shower down to “lukewarm” instead as it’s better for your tresses. In the comments, people had plenty of questions and observations.
One asked: “Can I rotate between two shampoos?”, and the answer was “Yes you can.” Another wrote: “I need to change my shampoo every few months cause it just stops working! I thought it was just me!!!” Someone else said: “So many of my clients come to me with sticky roots because they’ve been using one shampoo forever!”
