<\/span>How To Air Dry Your Hair<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that before hair is air dried the method in which your hair is washed is equally important and here\u2019s how you should do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Step 1: Make sure your hair is rinsed under running water<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This step is very essential before you shampoo your hair. For your shampoo to penetrate into the hair shaft and lather well on your hair, your hair has to have a sufficient amount of water coating each strand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure not to use hot water, as it will not only damage the hair, but it will also strip away all the hair\u2019s natural oils and will also make the hair dry as the cuticles on the hair shaft will open and let out all the moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, using cold water or lukewarm water is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Step 2: Shampoo your hair and condition it thereafter<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most essential aspect of hair washing. Remember that shampoo is always for your scalp and conditioner is for the hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that when you shampoo your hair, you need to apply the shampoo over your hair at the scalp and dilute it with a little water, so it flows down the length of your hair. After this, you can massage it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While using a conditioner, make sure to only use it on your hair and not on your scalp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a conditioner on your scalp will not only result in product buildup formation, but will also over-condition your hair and make the hair stand limp, when it dries up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason behind why you shouldn\u2019t condition your hair near the scalp is because the scalp is already well-moisturized by the hair\u2019s natural oil or sebum, so it doesn\u2019t require any more moisturization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to follow these tips so your hair doesn’t end up like this!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
