Take your time and relax and enjoy your shampooing ritual, you will feel the benefit after you have finished. After shampooing rinse your hair well, then pat your hair dry with a towel as opposed to rubbing it with the towel. If you can get someone of the opposite sex to shampoo and massage your hair and scalp for you then you will feel that it relaxes you even more. Try to use a conditioner after every wash as it smoothes down the tiny scales that cover each hair. This seals the inner core of the hair against damage from the weather.
Conditioners also help to prevent static.
Rinse off and wrap hair in a warm towel to absorb the excess moisture. A good brush and comb should be used to keep your hair in good condition. A comb should have rounded teeth with no rough edges. Your brush should be made from a good natural bristle, these bristles should be firm but flexible, with rounded ends to prevent damage. Every time you wash your hair, wash your brush and comb, and make sure everyone in the household has their own brush and comb.
