How To Wash Your Hair

Not to be gross or anything, but when traveling, I try to stretch out time between washings.

In general, I do this anyway – when you have curly hair, blowing it out can be tiresome and time-consuming. But when I’m away, and often do not have my tried-and-true styling tools around, this becomes ever-the-more my inclination.

But what I have discovered, over time, is that many of us are not washing our hair correctly, and in fact, washing our hair the right way is the key way to having the most successful life-span post blowout.

Question: Do you know what’s more important, scrubbing your scalp or your ends?

According to my friend Sandy Taylor-Furst, the best way to wash your hair is to scrub ONLY your scalp hair never your ends!

The strongest hair is the first two inches of hair that grow out from the scalp. If your hair from roots to ends is six inches long, the ends are a year old. Just think if your hair is 24 inches long that hair is then 3 years old.

That’s why I say only MASSAGE shampoo through your ends. The ends of your hair can be weakened from environmental stresses and hair chemicals, so the nicer we are to them the more vibrant they will be!
