Massaging the scalp
The second mistake is thinking that you have to wash your hair, as the expression goes. In reality, it’s not the hair that needs to be washed... it’s the scalp!
And scrubbing is out of the question. You have to massage it.
Here is the process to follow.
Ideally, start by brushing your hair, especially if it's long, to close the cuticles, get rid of dirt and remove any dead strands.
Next, wet the hair. Then apply the shampoo with your fingertips directly on the scalp.
Then massage the product into the scalp—don't rub.
For shampoos that stimulate microcirculation, such as shampoos with biospheres, your self-massage technique should start at the nape of the neck and work up to the forehead area using concentric movements.
Rinse and, if recommended, repeat and leave it on for 2 to 5 minutes.
Then rinse your scalp. The lather formed during the massage will then spread over the hair fiber, which will clean the strands.
Massaging the scalp will loosen up the sebum. But on the hair, the sebum is simply deposited. That's why this cleansing base is enough to make the dirt slide off the hair along with the water.
You really should not rub your hair. It can make the hair sensitive, especially if it’s dry.
Then, when the time comes to dry your hair, you should be careful not to use a hair dryer that’s too hot and not to point it at the scalp.
