Certainly, you know of many hair tips, but the reality is that you should not wash your hair every day. Did you know the more you wash your hair, it is stimulating your scalp to produce more oil? If yoru hair is oily, we recommend that you use a refreshing shampoo and be sure it is sulfur free to minimize damage to your hair color. Mask treatments should be applied from the middle of your hair to the end, never at the root of your hair or near the scalp. Washing your hair every other day is what is recommended.
YMV Salon tips
- Do not use hair ties with wet hair. Not only will it cause a bad smell, but you can get a disease called, mycosis which a fungus that causes hair loss.
- Do not use your nails to wash your hair, only use your fingertips and use a circular massage motion so you do not over stimulate the sebaceous glands, which secrets a lubricating oily matter (sebum) into the hair follicles to lubricate the skin and hair.
Hot or cold water
The temperature in which you wash your hair is extremely important, let us tell you more.
- Using cold water is best for when washing your hair; however, if your hair is oily never use hot water, better if you use warm.
- Cold water on sensitive scalp is always best. Also, if you have chemical processes done on your hair, its best to use cold water. The cold temperature will relax the follicles and allows the products to work better, the color will be sealed, and it will help with split ends, and making your hair healthier.
- Hot water increases the porosity of the hair weakening it causing it to break and lose natural proteins which causes dryness.
