)1. For a great head bath, the first step is to brush the hair and de tangle it before shampooing. This prevents hair breakage and hair loss due to tugging or trying to finger comb the hair during shampooing.
2. Warm water is preferable to hot water while shampooing, as it is just right for effective cleansing.
3. Depending on the length of hair, the amount of shampoo is lathered onto wet hair. A dime size dollop of shampoo is sufficient for short hair; medium hair length may need a nickel size amount while long hair will naturally cry for more. Salon shampoos usually have a higher concentration and discretion is called for in using lesser amounts than usual for these.
4. A 3-minute shampoo massage in slow, circular motions, using fingertips (not nails) onto the scalp readies the hair for rinsing.
This can be followed up with a conditioner suitable for the hair type, which may be rinsed out or left in, depending on the individual's status of hair health.
