How to make the perfect shampoo
To ensure perfect styling, it is important to start washing your hair properly. The hair after drying will be shiny, healthy and voluminous only if you pay attention during the washing phase. In this way you can get good results, without weighing down the hair and making drying easier.
First of all, to make shampoo it is important to choose completely natural products, which do not contain silicones and sulphates, moreover it must be specific for your hair.
The shampoo should be made with lukewarm and not too hot water, because the high temperature damages the hair with the passage of time. The final rinse must be done with cold water, so as to close the cuticles, and the hair will be brighter.
Only after having rinsed the hair well and there are no more shampoo residues, can you apply the conditioner. Especially for women who have curly and wavy hair, which are not always manageable, because they are more predisposed to the formation of knots. In this case always use specific balms.
