| SHAMPOOING
 To
shampoo is to wash, cleanse or remove all dirt or other
impurities from the scalp and hair by the process of
shampooing. The selection of the shampoo should depend
upon the hair type. Egg shampoo is good for dry hair
but avoid products which contain alcohol as they will
dry out the hair even further. For oily hair use some
mild shampoo. Care should be taken while using shampoo.
Do not scrub or over massage. It is better to rinse
thoroughly with Luke warm water. If the hair is too
oily, add lemon juice in Luke warm water and rinse.
Shampooing can be done as often (ideally every alternate
day) as required to keep the hair clean and healthy,
as long as you condition regularly. Switch shampoos
once a month to avoid hair buildup.

hair for shampooing, comb through with a wide toothed
comb to prevent tangles. Mix and adjust the water flow.

and scalp thoroughly. Apply the shampoo to the hair
by first pouring it into your hand and never directly.

rotating and circular movements. Massage the whole head.
Rinse the hair and scalp thoroughly and carefully. Apply
more shampoo and massage for the second time if needed,
finally rinse all shampoo from the hair and scalp with
clean water. Finally check the hair lines and make sure
that the dirt and shampoo has been removed from hair
and scalp. Dry the hair gently. Don't rub just blot
the wet hair with a towel and then smooth the towel
along the length of your hair. Avoid blow drying as
far as possible. If you shampoo regularly there is no
need to lather twice.
