Comb it. It’s necessary to comb your hair before washing it.
Wet it. First, rinse your hair with warm water thoroughly to open up the scales and pores. Experts recommend using a shower filter that purifies the water.
Shampoo it. Take a small amount of shampoo (about 1 teaspoon), mix it with water in your palms, and apply it to the scalp. This will help you consume less shampoo. Don’t distribute it through the entire length as it can dry your hair out. Wash the roots of your hair with massaging movements. Pay special attention to the back of your head and the hairline because they get the dirtiest. Don’t rub your hair or make circular motions as it can tangle it.
Rinse it. Thoroughly rinse the shampoo out with water so that it doesn’t clog your pores. Leaving shampoo on your hair will make it look dull and greasy.
Washing for a second time isn’t a must. Some shampoos have recommendations about the second application written in their instructions. You might need to do this if the hair is really dirty. But in most cases, the shampoo works well the first time.
Apply conditioner. This is a very important step when washing your hair. Balms and conditioners moisturize the hair and make it smoother. Apply the product from mid-length to the ends and let it sit for a couple of minutes. It’s advised to apply a little more conditioner to the ends than to the main length. If possible, keep the conditioner on your hair a bit longer to increase its effect.
Rinse. It’s recommended to rinse the conditioner with cold water — it closes the hair scales and helps to retain moisture inside.
Towel dry it. Carefully dry your hair with a towel — don’t rub it.

Life hack: If you have long hair, apply conditioner to the ends before shampooing. This will keep your hair from drying out and it’ll break less.
