Washing your hair properly- here’s how!

We give you tips on what you should look out for and answer the most frequently asked question of how often you should wash your hair.

The first step of washing your hair properly is to find the right shampoo. Everyone’s hair has different needs depending on its type and only if the ingredients are in perfect balance to your hair’s needs can we achieve the best possible results. For example, if you have fine hair you should select a shampoo that strengthens hair without weighing it down, whereas people with colour-treated hair need a shampoo that keeps the colour looking fresh.

Good to know: lavera offers the right care for every hair need and every hair type with carefully balanced natural powerhouse ingredients.

Perhaps you're curious about the frequency of washing your hair? Typically, washing your hair every two to three days is suitable for most individuals. However, the allure of the fresh, silky-smooth sensation and fragrance after washing often leads many to wash their hair daily. In such cases, opting for gentle shampoos like lavera's organic range is advisable, as they are free from silicones and synthetic preservatives that may cause scalp irritation.

Here are some more tips for washing your hair properly:

  • Brush your hair thoroughly before washing so that it doesn’t get tangled during washing.

  • Avoid water that is too hot to prevent your hair and scalp from drying out.

  • Ensure that no shampoo residue is left in your hair afterwards. Rule of thumb: Rinse hair for five times as long as lathering it.

  • If you have dull hair, rinse it with cold water after washing it. This closes the upper cuticle and gives the hair a naturally beautiful shine.
