How to Shampoo your Hair properly?

Shampoos are available in different formulas to suit all hair types and conditions. Make sure you choose one that is right for your hair and use it as often as necessary to keep your hair clean. Rinse out the shampoo thoroughly.

The selection of the right type of shampoos and hair conditioners once you have identified the type of hair you have is the most important step. If your hair is dry and rough, you must use oil. This type of hair needs regular oil massage and right type of your diet. You must have almonds, carrots etc. in larger quantity apart from applying oil externally to keep them healthy and glowing. In direct contradiction if you have oily hair you must not use oil, particularly more viscous type. At times your oily hair appear dry and broken at ends due to much of bleaching, perming, taking bath in the sea, long use of rollers etc.
