There’s nothing quite like the luxurious feeling of stepping out of the shower with soft, freshly-washed hair. Washing your hair seems simple enough—just lather and rinse—but there’s actually more to it if you want to have smooth, shiny, healthy locks. You’ve got to get the right products for your hair, plus you need to know how (and how often) to use them so you’re not inadvertently making your hair worse. Once you've got those things down, you can say hello to clean, beautiful hair.
Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. Your hair will need to be completely soaked before you apply shampoo. Using warm water is important, because the warm water will open the cuticles in your hair.[1] Once your hair is soaked in warm water the hair will start loosing any dirt and build up it has accumulated. Additionally, the warm water will help your hair and scalp absorb the oils in your conditioner. [2]
Let your hair get completely wet before you apply your shampoo.
Consider using a water filter that will extract any harsh minerals from your water. Your hair will rinse cleaner and feel softer. [3]
Condition your hair before you shampoo if you have long hair. This may be new to you, but if your hair falls past your shoulders, the ends of your hair need more conditioning to keep them strong. Apply a nickel sized amount of conditioner to your palms and massage it gently into the ends of your hair. This will protect your ends from splitting and add shine! [4]
Gently massage shampoo into the roots of your hair. Measure a quarter sized amount of shampoo into the palm of your hair if you have short or medium length hair. You can double that amount if your hair is longer than your shoulders. Rub between your palms and then softly work the shampoo into the roots of your hair, massaging, not scrubbing, as you go. Also, make sure you shampoo well at the nape of your neck. [5]
Be gentle, do not scrub your hair and avoid tight circular motions! You do not want to damage or break the cuticles of your hair.
Do not shampoo the ends of your hair if you have longer hair. You need more shampoo at the roots, because that is where the majority of your oil is. You need less shampoo or no shampoo at your tips of your hair, because it is the oldest and driest hair.
If you have product build up, you can shampoo your hair with a purifying shampoo once a week.
Rinse your hair and squeeze out the excess water.[6] Rinse your hair with warm water until it is free of all shampoo. Run your fingers through your hair to wick the water out of your hair if you have short hair. Gently squeeze the water out of your hair at the midsection and end to prepare for the conditioner if you have longer hair.
Evenly spread conditioner into your hair if it is less than 3 inches long. You can use a quarter sized amount of conditioner. You can leave it in for about 2 and a half minutes, and you can use this time to shave or finish showering. If you are using conditioner for normal hair, you can use it every day. [7]
Rinse your hair well with lukewarm water. If you are getting build up in your hair, it could be due to not rinsing your hair well enough after you condition.
Apply conditioner on the midsection and ends of your hair if you have longer hair. Rub a quarter sized dollop of conditioner between your hands. Do not worry about applying conditioner to the roots of your hair. Your hair has enough oil at the roots of your hair. [8]
Clip your hair up, and finish your shower. The longer your hair is being conditioned, the better it will absorb the conditioner. Keep a clip in your shower for repeated use.
You can also use a hair tie to put your hair up, but be careful not to put your hair up tight because you don’t want to damage the cuticles of your hair. Remember, your hair is at its most fragile when it is wet.
You can also use a shower cap to keep your conditioner from rinsing out while you are in the shower.
Leave the conditioner in your hair for 10 minutes after your shower if you have longer hair. If you want to get out of the shower quickly to conserve water or you have extra dry hair, this will give your hair the extra time it needs to absorb the oils in the conditioner. Keep your hair up in a clip or wrap your hair up in a towel to keep it out of your way.
Rinse your hair with cool water if you have long hair. The cool water will shut the cuticles in your hair and keep the moisture and oils sealed in your hair.[9] You hair will look shinier if you remember to do this step consistently during your shower routine.
Make sure to rinse all of the conditioner out of your hair. If there is still conditioner left in your hair the conditioner will leave your hair looking limp and oily.
Use a leave in conditioner or hair mask.[10] There are leave in conditioners marketed to men as well as women. Leave in conditioner will strengthen hair, and they will make your hair more flexible. After you have showered, apply leave in conditioner to damp hair.
Bed Head, Aveda, and Paul Mitchell have products for leave in conditioner for men.
Some men report that the leave in conditioner makes their hair more manageable if they shampoo every day. [11]
Buy shampoo and conditioner for normal hair if your hair is shorter than 3 inches. Normal shampoo will work for every nine out of ten people who have hair that is less than 3 inches long. However, if you have problems with your scalp being too dry or too oily, buy shampoo for oily hair or dandruff shampoo. [12]
Thicken the volume of your hair if you have fine, limp or oily hair. It is called volumizing shampoo in the woman's section and a thickening shampoo in men's. [13] This shampoo/conditioner will help give your hair more body.
Avoid creamy shampoos/conditioners that will make your hair more oily. [14] You will want a gentle shampoo that you can use daily or every other day.[15]
If you have trouble with oily hair, you can apply dry shampoo to your hair between washes. Even guys can and should use dry shampoo, it will help your hair look fresh even when you haven't showered! [16] Dry shampoo is also good because it will add texture and volume if you have fine hair.
You may not need to use conditioner if you have oily hair. Consider using a spray conditioner or a light conditioner with tea tree oil in it to absorb the oil in your hair.[17]
Strengthen your hair with protein based shampoos if you treat your hair. If you color or chemically treat your hair, look for wheat and soy extracts or silk amino acids in your shampoo! Men's hair care does not typically offer shampoo and conditioner for this hair type; however, there is no shame in buying woman's shampoo if you want to preserve your color. Look for color protection shampoos, or you can use a gentle baby shampoo that won’t strip your hair. [18]
Use your conditioner only on the ends of your hair if you have long hair. Your hair already has enough natural oils at the roots that you only need to apply the conditioner to the middle and end of your hair.
Avoid conditioners with silicon that strip hair. You want to preserve the color in your hair. Also do not wash your hair every day as it might strip your hair color as well.
Find a shampoo to soften and tame your hair if you have coarse or curly hair. Good shampoos for coarse, curly hair contain wheat germ oil, macadamia or almond oil, or shea butter. Also you can use shampoos or conditioners with glycerin or silicon to keep your hair well hydrated.
You can also do hot oil treatments regularly to help tame your frizz. [19]
Use a deep moisturizing conditioner every time you wash.
Use creamy shampoos if you have dry or frizzy hair. Coconut, argan, grapeseed and avocado oils are all great treatments for dry hair. Use an ultra moisturizing conditioner every time you wash your hair, as well. [20]
You can also use shampoo made for dry or color treated hair to tame your hair if you have frizzy, dry hair, because they do a great job of moisturizing your hair.
Rotate the kind of shampoo you use if you have dandruff. This is the best method for combatting dandruff. Switch a shampoo with salicylic acid, one with pyrithione zinc, and one with selenium sulfide to effectively fight those pesky flecks. Also rotate in a regular shampoo occasionally, or a moisturizing shampoo if your hair is drying out from the dandruff shampoos.
If your hair is still flecking, follow up your shampoo with an apple cider vinegar rinse to fight the yeast and bacteria.
First, rinse your hair with warm water to open your hair cuticles. Then, apply the hair mask and leave it in for the recommended amount of time. Afterwards, rinse your hair out with cool water to seal the moisture into your hair.
Is it best to use warm or cool water when shampooing your hair?
Use warm water when you're shampooing your hair. This will open your hair cuticle so the shampoo can fully work.
Should you rinse your hair with warm or cool water?
Rinse your hair with cool water to close your hair cuticles. This will lock in moisture and oils.
Do I need to wash my hair after working out?
You can, but you don't have to. When you wash your hair too often, you risk stripping it of its natural oils.This can lead to dry, brittle hair. If you washed your hair the day before, you don't need to wash it again. If it feels greasy, consider using a dry shampoo.
Will this help keep my face from becoming oily and greasy?
It can to some extent. When you wash your hair, you remove some of the oils on it. This means that if your hair touches your face, there will be fewer oils brushing off against your skin. Keep in mind that in order to keep an oil-free face, you also need to wash your face daily, drink lots of water, and eat healthy.
What can I do to stop my hair from being frizzy?
Brush your hair before you wash it, and don't apply shampoo and conditioner roughly. Massage the shampoo and conditioner in circles, and wash with cold water to prevent unhealthy hair.
I can wash hair if I don't have a shower?
Wash your hair over a basin or a large bowl with a pitcher/jug or other item to pour water over your hair. You can also use a bath with a container to pour water over your head. Another option is using a dry shampoo that doesn't require water but still removes greasiness.
My mom wants me to wash the roots of my hair every day because it looks oily if I don't. I don't think this is good for it though. What do I do?
I'd tell her that it's not good for your hair to wash it every day and that it's okay for it to be a little oily. There is plenty of research to back this up, just show her a couple of articles.
Besides cutting my hair, what else can I do to get rid of dry tips?
Avoid heat styling tools, harsh hair styling products and tight hairstyles like a ponytail or a bun.
I'm trying to grow my hair, but I have lots of split ends. What should I do?
It is normal to have split ends. Cutting the split ends is part of the hair growth process. Trim them off and your hair will grow and become more healthy.

Learn how to wash your hair the right way!
You might think you’re a hair-washing pro, but do you really know the ins and outs of washing hair? And after Gary Barlow’s recent and shocking hair care revelation, we know what you’re probably thinking: ‘do I even need to know?’. But the short answer? Yes – if you want, healthy-looking, luscious locks. Read on to find out 10 important things about washing hair.
If you want to really clean your hair, make sure the temperature of your water is warm. This will help to open up the hair cuticle, improving the penetration of your shampoo. And as much as you might enjoy very hot water, avoid it: it can irritate your scalp. If you’re after sleek, silky tresses, finish your shampoo and conditioning session with a blast of cold water, which will help to close the hair cuticle.
Over-washing your hair can strip your scalp of its natural oils, which means your tresses can be left feeling even more dry. Instead of washing daily, try to leave at least a day in between each wash, or longer if you’re not engaging in a really vigorous exercise. Do use a dry shampoo, like the Toni&Guy Casual Matt Texture Dry Shampoo, to keep hair feeling fresh in between washes.
When shampooing your hair, concentrate on your scalp and work in a circular massaging motion (try to avoid simply spreading shampoo on the top of your hair – your scalp is what you need to cleanse). Using a massage technique will help to get rid of dead skin cells on your scalp, leading to a healthier-feeling scalp – plus it’s a relaxing, indulgent treatment too!
You’ve probably heard that brushing your hair in the shower is a bad move, because it can damage your tresses. Well, there’s some truth to that: when your hair is wet, the strands are more prone to breakage. However, you can help limit damage by applying conditioner to your lengths and ends, before gently combing through with a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product through your wet strands before rinsing.
You might think that mixing up your shampoo and conditioner is a great way to get an additional benefit boost into your hair wash routine – but actually, that’s not the case. Shampoo and conditioner formulas are created to work as a system: it’s the combined usage of a matching shampoo and conditioner that work in tandem to address a particular hair need. And, despite what you may think, you’ll need to use these products over a period of time to truly reap the rewards. Boring as it sounds: always read the bottle. The advice listed is there to guide you towards optimum results, which equals healthy-looking hair. Try the Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, the shampoo helps protect normal hair from daily wear and tear, and nourishes making hair softer and 5x smoother*.
You may feel inclined to use a heap of shampoo and conditioner on your hair, but more product doesn’t equal a better cleanse or condition – you only need a small amount of hair product. Using too much product can actually weigh your hair down, leaving it looking limp and flat. The general rule? A small scoop, about the size of a 10-pence piece, is usually enough (those with thicker or more hair may need a little more).
Even before you shampoo, start by rinsing your hair with warm water, to open up the hair cuticles. Damp hair absorbs shampoo and conditioner more effectively, so ensure your hair is thoroughly wet before applying product.
As well as water temperature, the hardness of the water that you use to wash your hair can make a big difference to the texture of your tresses. Unfortunately, in the UK our water is quite hard, which isn’t great news for our mane: hard water tends to make your hair scales stand up, resulting in them feeling rough. But you don’t have to let hard water ruin your tresses! Using a clarifying shampoo every now and then (try once a week) will give your hair a deep clean and help to counteract the effects of hard water.
Don’t scrub your scalp or rub your hair too vigorously whilst in the shower. Just like how brushing wet hair can damage your strands, over-scrubbing or rubbing wet hair can have a negative effect, too. Instead, if you want your hair to feel squeaky clean, shampoo twice before your condition.
A fully-lathering shampoo doesn’t necessarily mean it cleans hair better than a shampoo that lathers less. Although it may not feel like it, shampoos that lather less clean just as well as the ones that create lots of suds. Really, it’s down to personal preference: how much lathering do you like?
