Professional shampoo has long ceased to be an exclusive of beauty salons and has firmly entered the arsenal of home hair care. Balanced formulas of such shampoos, enriched with active components, can work wonders by restoring, nourishing, and protecting locks. However, even the highest quality product can prove ineffective, and sometimes even harm the hair, if mistakes are made in its application. Professional shampoo store Medavita has prepared a detailed description of the most common mistakes and recommendations for avoiding them.
Incorrect determination of hair and scalp type
Professional hair shampoos are often developed for specific needs:
- for colored, dry, oily, fine hair;
- for sensitive skin;
- or for combating dandruff, etc.
If you use a professional shampoo that does not match your individual characteristics, it can lead to undesirable consequences. For example, a product for oily hair may dry out normal or dry hair, while a product for volume may weigh down fine strands.
Insufficient moisture of hair before applying shampoo
Professional products usually have a more concentrated formula, so a sufficient amount of water is necessary for their effective distribution.
If good professional shampoos are applied to dry or insufficiently moistened hair, it can complicate the even distribution of the product and lead to uneven cleansing.
Too much shampoo
A large amount of foam does not always mean better cleansing. An excess of product can be difficult to rinse out, leaving a film on the hair that makes it dull and weighed down.
For medium-length hair, a small amount of shampoo the size of a coin is sufficient. This way, premium shampoos will work effectively and not cause problems.
Incorrect lathering technique
It may seem that everyone knows how to wash their hair. However, in reality, many people make mistakes.
Instead of vigorously rubbing all the hair, it is recommended to lather a small amount of product in your palms and gently distribute it over the scalp with massaging movements. It is the scalp that needs thorough cleansing, while the foam running down the length of the hair will effectively deal with impurities. This way, good professional shampoos will work effectively and penetrate deeply into the scalp.
Too quick rinsing
The active components contained in Italian professional hair shampoos need a certain amount of time to take effect. The recommended exposure time is usually indicated on the packaging. Ignoring this recommendation may reduce the effectiveness of the shampoo.
Do not forget about the water temperature for rinsing. Too hot water can dry out the scalp and damage the hair structure, while too cold water may not rinse out the product residues well. The optimal option is warm water.
Lack of comprehensive care
Remember that simply ordering a professional hair shampoo is not enough. To achieve the best results, it should be used in combination with a conditioner, mask, and other products from the same series or line. The Medavita shampoo store offers a wide range of additional products.
Avoiding these common mistakes will allow you to fully unlock the potential of professional shampoo and give your hair the health, shine, and beauty worthy of salon care. If you want to buy professional shampoo, contact Medavita — the experts of the online store will provide consulting assistance.
