Washing Your Hair - The Proper Way

After realizing that no one with long hair had really covered this (at least not in the way that I do it), I figured it would be a good thing to post for those that are growing their hair out and find themselves wondering what to do with it come shower time.

(I thought you mentioned how much you wash your hair in this video but it must have been a different one, I'm not a stalker I promise haha)

@RacingStarShips Hee! If your scalp likes conditioner - then use it! I only wash mine once a week, so conditioner up top isn't necessary as by day four, my scalp is conditioning itself. LOL. You know your hair best, and if you like conditioner all over, then use it. :o)

ey im a dude with shoulder length hair lol and was just wondering wat shampoo do all ya'll recommend for long straight thick hair? do i have to use conditioner cos i really have never bothered thanks :D

[torrinpaige]

@MrSuRaJ931 Go with whatever shampoo you like the smell of - they're mostly the same. However, get yourself some conditioner! So many guys have never bothered with it because shorter lengths don't mind not having it...longer hair however? NEEDS it! You will be amazed at how much better your hair looks and feels and how much easier it will be to get the tangles out.

Hey another good tip is right before you get out of the shower you can run some cold water in your hair and it boosts some extra shine!

I always used to ring out my hair like a towel! After watching this I'm having second thoughts. I'm going to go try these tips right now and from now on :) thank you!

I have a question about this. I have shoulder blade length hair and I wash it about as much as you said you do. I tried to follow this washing routine but I found after a while I started getting dandruff from not conditioning the top, and I only wash my hair about 2-3 times a week (I still shower haha). I don't normally have dry hair though. What can I do?

[scarlette0722]

Yay! I do it exactly the same way you do! Go us!
