They say you shouldn’t wash your hair too often (yay for dry shampoo), and learning how to do it the right way will help you optimize your routine. This is how:

1. Don’t use too much product, or too little. Some people think using more shampoo will clean more, but it will actually weight down your hair.

2. The way you use shampoo matters. Start by applying it at the scalp and work towards the ears and wherever your hair usually gets greasy first. Massage gently; going too crazy will make it hard to brush your hair afterwards will damage it.

3. Use products suited for your hair type. Yes, its important. Ask your hairdresser what you should use and stick to it. They know best! You don’t always necessarily need to use shampoo/conditioner/masks from the same series. An example would be a volume shampoo if you’d like a more wowza feel up top, but then a conditioner that is more focused on moisturising to have healthier ends.

4. Wash your hair twice. It’s another reason to not overuse the product. It’s better to use the right amount first to get rid of any hair products you’ve been using, and then another right amount to let the effect of your shampoo work its magic.

5. Make sure you focus on the right spots. Shampoo is most important wherever your hair is the most greasy (scalp) and conditioner should be focused on damaged areas (ends).
