Hairdressers swear that shampooing the correct way does make a difference.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A wide-toothed comb
Shampoo
Conditioner
A large towel
A detangler or leave-in conditioner
A deep conditioner

Step 1: Comb your hair

Untangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb before you shower — or you'll have a hopeless tangled mess when you're done.

Step 2: Massage your scalp

Next, loosen dirt and dead skin by massaging your scalp for a minute. Use the pads of your fingers, not the nails.

Step 3: Wet your head with warm water

Thoroughly wet your hair with warm — not hot — water. Very hot water damages hair shafts, causing fly-away hair.

Tip: Don't wash your hair every day; all you'll get for your trouble are oily roots and brittle ends.

Step 4: Apply shampoo

Pour a quarter-sized amount of shampoo into your hand, rub it between your palms, and then spread it evenly over your scalp. Using more shampoo than that will strip your hair's natural oils, leading to the frizzies.

Step 5: Work up a lather

Work up a lather for at least a minute.

Step 6: Rinse thoroughly

Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Tip: Contrary to what you've probably heard, do not rinse hair until it "squeaks," or you'll be rinsing away the hair's natural oils.

Step 7: Condition your hair

Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel, then wrap the towel around your head and let it absorb some more water. Hair is at its weakest and most prone to breakage when it's soaking wet.

Tip: If you have damaged hair, use a deep conditioner every few weeks, according to directions.

Step 8: Rinse again

Rinse the conditioner with warm water, adding a final blast of cold water to seal the cuticles, which makes hair really shine.

Step 9: Towel dry your hair

Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel, then wrap the towel around your head and let it absorb some more water before combing your hair. Hair is at its weakest and most prone to breakage when it's soaking wet.

Step 10: Use a detangler

Spray on a little detangler or leave-in conditioner before combing your hair.
