the Correct way to Shampoo

[Missi]

I've read in Cathy's Hair Book that when you are washing your hair it is important not to repeat the shampooing process. You know how the directions say 'repeat': she says not to. Does anyone follow the same rule, repeat, or have ur own technique?

 

[MizAvalon]

I always lather, rinse, and repeat. My hair doesn't feel clean otherwise. However, I don't shampoo the length of my hair, only my scalp. All of that soapy hair piled up on top of your head like they show in commercials? I never do that.

WillyG, it depends on the hair feel, look and my time crunch. I more often than not repeat the shampoo then deep moisturize then apply a leave in moisturizer of my choice, Silk Elements, QP, Hawaiian Silky, Motions, Isoplus, Surge 14, Surge Woojee or seal with whichever oil does the job: Shea butter, home made Rosemary and Sage, Surge Motion #9, Amla, Majabhringraj, coconut, almond. My hair has a voice which I listen to. I don't regret my multi-moisturizer/oils collection. I have never felt 'stripped' when repeating the poo.MizAvalon is right...I do not shampoo the ends.

I poo twice but I dilute my poo everytime sometimes adding a little con hust for good measure. My hair comes out clean and soft even with clairifying poo.

 

[dlewis]

Sometimes I poo twice depending on how oily my hair is. But if I'm wearing it wet or wash and go I'll poo once. I also dilute my shampoo.

 

[Missi]

okay....I think I should seal more often. I was afraid to wash twice cause I thought it would make my hair too dry. thanks everyone

 

[Growinpainz]

sometimes I shampoo twice sometimes just once.

 

[LovelyLionessa]

I always just lather once. I massage it into my scalp and "milk" the lather lightly into my braids that I wash in.

 

[alexstin]

Only once, I apply to my scalp, massage in a for awhile and let it sit while I bathe. Then rinse.

I don't normally repeat. I poo twice a week, so there is not a lot of build up on my hair since I wash it frequently. IMO it's not that dirty so why poo again and risk stripping the hair of natural oils. One thing I've learned on this hair care journey is that if you keep your hair clean by doing frequent washes there is no need to poo two or three times like a once did in the past. My focus on the conditioners.

 

[Blackoutzangel05]

I usually poo once but when I do an acv rinse i poo again and this week it turned out wonderful for me.

 

[Naphy]

I prefer to poo twice, because my hair feels cleaner ^^

 

[B_Phlyy]

I usually shampoo once. I dilute the shampoo and then concentrate on the scalp. The only time I lather twice or more is when I clarify.

 

[Divine Inspiration]

I rarely poo twice...it's usually once unless I'm feeling buildup or I'm wearing my hair bone straight and want to be sure it's squeaky clean.

 

[Browndilocks]

I always shampoo twice and sometimes 3 times (scalp only). I find that when I do this, I maximize the effects of my conditioner.

 

[foxy kc]

I poo twice....once with a clarifying poo (I have hard water)and the second time with a moisturizing one

 

[jasmin]

Normally I shampoo twice when I need to clarify. I clarify and then use a moisturizing shampoo.

 

[Gisselle]

I usually shampoo once.

 

[krissyprissy]

I poo once or twice depending on how dirty my hair is. I always apply the shampoo to my scalp only and use my scalp massager to get the scalp clean.
