Vegan Haircare: How To Wash Your Hair The Right Way
Trying to achieve *the* perfect hair day? Same. Well, you’ve first got to perfect your shower routine. First and foremost, make sure you don’t overwash your hair. Washing your hair too many times each week can actually cause your locks to become too oily. Try washing your hair less frequently, about three times per week.
In order to get bouncy locks, you should use filtered, lukewarm water (this means steering clear of the boiling-lava-hot water we all love so much!).
Showerhead filters can help remove water impurities like chlorine, heavy metals, and rust—which are not only hard on your hair but on your skin, too. You should also gently massage water and shampoo/conditioner through your hair (i.e., no heavy scrubbing!).
Lastly, make sure you choose a shampoo and conditioner that’s suited for your hair type.
