Excessive Hair Fall? Here’s How To Wash Your Hair Correctly

While it is wonderful to have dense, voluminous hair that is soft and silky, we always struggle to keep the frizz under check and think why we lose so much hair every time we shampoo. More than using the right shampoo and brushing hair the right way, a lot goes wrong in the simple act of washing the hair. It is quite shocking how little we know about the right way of doing it in order to prevent hair fall and also boost its texture.

By just correcting these few practices during and after washing our hair, we can avoid hair fall in a big way, and also have lush, long hair which is smooth and soft. It is actually that simple, you don’t need any fancy hair rituals and spas.

Myth 1: Applying more shampoo and conditioner is good

You think by applying a greater quantity of shampoo you can actually get better hair texture, then you are widely mistaken. Both shampoo and conditioner should be used moderately, dilute them with water to work out a lather, but do not use excess of it.

Myth 2: Hot shower makes you sleep well

After a long day, all you want is a hot shower that will put you to sleep as soon as you hit the sack. It is blasphemous to put hot water to your head as it loosens the hair follicles making them fall off as you wash them. Settle for lukewarm to cool water for your hair, and you will notice how little hair you lose.

Myth 3: Rigorously rubbing your hair with a towel after wash

Towel drying your hair may not be a very good idea after all. This is because the threads of the towel create friction with the newly washed hair that leads to frizziness and damage to the hair follicles. Use a plain cloth or blotting paper to just run it over the hair, but never rub.

Myth 4: Massaging and scrubbing hair while shampooing
