You should wash your hair every other day with a mild hair shampoo. The circulation provided by the hair shampoo brings natural oils into the hair by stimulating the oil glands. This is good for all types of hair. Use hair shampoo that is pH balanced and is designed for your specific hair type. This might be dry hair, normal hair, colored, etc. If you need help deciding what your hair type is, your hair specialist at your local salon can help you, and will probably be more than happy to recommend a good hair shampoo that will be perfect for your hair.



Always use cool water to rinse your hair after applying hair shampoo, never hot water. This will help give your hair extra shine. Avoid using hairdryers and heat when you can. Never brush wet hair, because this is the time when your hair is at its most brittle point, and it will easily break. There are strengthening hair shampoos to help brittle hair, but all hair is fragile when wet.

In addition to using the right hair shampoo, once a week you should massage jojoba oil and rosemary oil into your hair and tea tree oil for hair that has signs of dandruff. Leave in the little bit of oil overnight, and shampoo out in the morning.

Hair shampoos can make hair look dull, even without there being any hair damage. Hard water and conditioners can result in drab hair, too. A hair shampoo that is specially designed to remove build up is a great solution for this. Rinsing your hair after using the hair shampoo with apple cider vinegar and water will help prevent the dull damage. This should be done every other week, especially if you use hard water to wash your hair.

Hair shampoos can help the hair or harm the hair, so be very careful in deciding what shampoo to buy. Use detangling hair shampoo for hair that is hard to comb through, and when you are using a hair shampoo, be sure to lightly massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers for five minutes in a circular motion. This will increase the blood flow circulation, increasing nourishment to your scalp, which will ultimately result in healthier hair as well.
