Making Your Skin Glow

If your hair isn't as manageable as you'd like it to be, you might not be following the right shampoo tactics. Unfortunately, a lot of men don't spend enough time on their hair. They can also make mistakes that can undermine clarity and shine. If you want your hair to look its very best, here are four tips to get you started. 

Start With Saturated Hair

When it comes to getting your hair as clean as it can be, don't skimp on the water. Many men briefly rinse their hair before applying the shampoo, but that's not the way to go. If you don't start with saturated hair, now's the time to make some changes. Instead of briefly rinsing your hair, give it a thorough saturation of water. That way, the follicles and hair shafts are ready to accept shampoo. If you're not sure how to saturate your hair, simply stand under the shower head for a couple of minutes before you apply the shampoo. 

Go With the Right Amount of Shampoo

Once you have your hair saturated, you'll want to apply the shampoo. But, you want to make sure you use the right amount of shampoo. Too much shampoo, and your hair will be coated in soap residue. Too little shampoo, and you won't get rid of the dirt and oil. For maximum results, choose the right amount of shampoo for your hair length. For example, if you have short hair, you'll want to use about a nickel-size dollop of shampoo. While you're washing your hair, don't forget to spend time on your scalp. Massaging shampoo into your scalp will keep it and your hair follicles nice and clean.

Get the Rinse Done Right

After you shampoo your hair, you need to get the rinsing done right. If you're like a lot of men, you might be making some mistakes when you rinse your hair. First, you want to spend at least a few minutes on the initial warm water rinse. Once you've rinsed your hair to remove the shampoo, you want to follow up with a cold-water rinse. The cold water rinse seals the follicles, and locks in the moisture. 

Avoid the Double-Take

Finally, if you've been following the lather-rinse-repeat rule, you can make some changes. When you follow the double shampoo application rule, you can actually remove natural oils that are essential to healthy, shiny hair. For maximum shine and hair health, you want to follow the single shampoo application instead.
