Following the correct method for liquid shampoo administration helps cleanse your hair and scalp while simultaneously stimulating the circulation of the blood. A complete, thorough washing session typically lasts between 5 and 10 minutes.

Step 1: The Essential Prerinse and Scalp Prep

Before reaching for the shampoo, ensure your hair is completely ready.

1. Thoroughly Soak Your Hair: Prerinse your hair completely, running your fingers gently through it from the front to the back.

   
   

   

2. Maximize Lather: This pre-rinse is crucial because it helps create a good lather when you apply the shampoo.

   
   

3. Loosen the Scalp: Before applying any cleansing product, you should massage or manipulate the scalp. You can gently massage the scalp for about two minutes. This initial step is performed in order to loosen the cuticle and stimulate the circulation of the blood.

   
   

Step 2: Activating and Applying Your Liquid Shampoo

Avoid direct application to prevent waste and saturation in one spot.

1. Measure the Shampoo: Wet your hands and apply the liquid shampoo directly onto the palm of your hand.

   
   

2. Rub and Activate: Rub your hands together to emulsify the product.

   
   

3. Crucial Tip: Do not apply liquid shampoo directly onto the hair. Doing so will saturate only one spot and lead to a waste of shampoo.

   
   

Step 3: Gentle Lathering Technique

Focus on distributing the shampoo evenly across the entire scalp, not just the hair ends.

1. Smooth Distribution: Use your palms to smooth the shampoo over your hair.

   
   

2. Create a Creamy Lather: Work the product to make a creamy lather over the entire scalp.

   
   

   

   
   

3. Avoid Tangling: When washing, gently rotate your fingers and palm through your hair, moving from front to back, while allowing your hair to fall back over your neck. Do not pile hair on top of your head, as this will cause tangles.

   
   

Step 4: The Deep Cleansing Massage

The primary cleansing action comes from massaging the scalp with your fingertips.

1. The Massage Motion: Massage your scalp using a continuous rotating motion with your fingertips.

   
   

2. Duration: Continue this rotating massage for about three minutes.

   
   

3. Safety First: Do not use your finger nails during the massage, as they will scratch the scalp.

   
   

4. Avoid Brushing: While washing, you should not brush your hair, as this action will tangle and break hair, and scratch the scalp.

   
   

Step 5: Rinse, Check, and Repeat (If Necessary)

Ensure all residue is removed before moving to conditioning or drying.

1. Remove Lather: Remove the excess lather or suds.

   
   

   

2. Check for Cleanliness: Re-apply more liquid shampoo and repeat the rubbing and massaging steps if needed. Remember that your hair is truly clean only when there is no hint of lather remaining.

   
   

3. Note on Frequency: Depending on the scalp condition, some individuals may require as many as three washings.

   
   

Step 6: Final Rinse and Drying

1. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the scalp completely.

   
   

2. Gently Wipe: Gently wipe your face and ears with a towel.

   
   

3. Remove Excess Water: Dry the excess water from the hair.

   
   

4. Complete Drying: Complete drying can be performed either with a towel or by using an electric hair dryer.
