Our relationship with our hair can be tumultuous: one day everything seems perfect, the next day everything can go wrong. To restore balance, start with the basics: learning how to wash it properly.

THE ART OF SHAMPOOING

Caution! Don't treat your hair like a pile of laundry. Avoid vigorous rubbing as if you were using a washing machine. Focus on the scalp. Use your fingertips to massage gently. Take a small amount of a mild shampoo , emulsify it in the palm of your hand to release its active ingredients, then apply following these steps:

1. Neck : Start at the base of the neck where sebum often accumulates.
2. Temples : Apply to each side for full coverage.
3. Vertex : Treat the crown of the head, which is often neglected.
4. Top of the head : Finish by ensuring an even application.

Gently massage to remove impurities and sebum. For frequent washing, a single mild shampoo is sufficient. Leave on for a few minutes for maximum effectiveness.

Finish with a gentle massage from the nape of the neck to the crown of the head to stimulate circulation and provide a moment of relaxation. Rinse thoroughly.

If your hair is very dirty, don't hesitate to do a second, lighter shampoo.

THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE?

We often tend to use too much shampoo and apply it to the same area. By pouring too much product and spreading it mainly in the center, you risk not properly cleaning your entire scalp. It's better to do a double wash with a small amount of product rather than a single wash with too much shampoo.
