A good wash day makes the rest of the week easier. Follow the same order each time, so the routine becomes automatic.

The steps

1. Detangle first. Work through knots with a wide-tooth comb while the hair is dry or slightly damp. 2. Wet your hair. Use lukewarm water to open the hair and scalp. 3. Shampoo the scalp. Use a small amount of Shahi Shampoo and massage it gently with your fingertips. 4. Rinse well. Make sure no product remains, especially at the back of the neck. 5. Condition the lengths. Use a light conditioner on the ends if your hair is dry. 6. Dry gently. Squeeze out water with a soft towel. Do not rub.

Common mistakes

  • Using hot water, which can make the scalp dry
  • Scrubbing the hair with a towel
  • Brushing wet hair hard

Drying

Let your hair air-dry as much as you can. Use a low heat setting if you use a dryer, and keep the dryer moving.
