We all love the day when we have to shower our hair, but many times the day we shower our hair becomes fluffy, and frizzy making us look like Hagrid, of Harry Potter. Yeah, I can well connect with it as I too have gone through this many times. We all learn a specific technique of hair washing while growing up, and we are reluctant to change it. But adapting is the only thing which differs us. We have brought to you the Best shower tips to keep your hair healthy and frizz-free.

Many of you won’t believe, but showering greatly affects the texture of hair. If you shower in a wrong way, you may end up having dry, and brittle hair. Just like we have a skin care routine and we stick to it, there is a shower routine and everyone should follow it to have healthy hair.

# Steam your Hair before shampoo

This might be new for many, even it was new for me when I came to know about it. But believe me, this tip actually helps our hair. The pores on our hair become closed due to oil and dirt, it is necessary to open them up, so that shampoo can penetrate easily and do its job. Soak a towel in hot water and remove excess water. Wrap your hair in the towel for 20 minutes, before you think for the shower.

# Massage your Scalp before shampoo

After 20 minutes when your hair has been well steamed, gently massage your scalp with fingers for a few minutes. Doing this will help to loosen all the dirt and buildup from the scalp and also remove weak hair strands.

# Rinse with cold or lukewarm water

Just like hot water is not good for the face skin, similarly, hot water is also not good for hair. It rips out the natural moisture from the hair making hair lifeless and dull. Always rinse or wash your hair with cold or lukewarm water, doing this the moisture also do not escape from hair and you get smoother locks.

# Towel Dry before conditioner

Yes, I agree that this is too much work to do. But believe me, you will see the improvement yourself. After you have shampooed, wrap a towel on your hair to get rid of excess water. Then, take a small amount of conditioner and apply it to your damp hair strands. It will work more effectively.

# Don’t leave conditioner for long

Yes, the max. time for the conditioner should be 3minutes. Thinking that, applying the conditioner for a long, will give you softer hair is wrong. Conditioner only works when the hair cuticle is open and swollen. So, after it has penetrated once, leaving it longer will do no good.

# Do not apply conditioner on scalp

You must have already known this, but since we are discussing all the tips it is necessary to mention this one also. Many times when we are in hurry, we forget and apply conditioner to our scalp, and this build-up the product on our scalp and also clogs the pores. Therefore, always apply conditioner only on your hair strands.
