Summary of "Why Most Women Are Still Washing Their Hair WRONG"

Key Hair Washing and Care Strategies from the Video

• Common Mistake #1: Ignoring the "Jungle" (Thick Hair at the Back of the Head)
  • The thickest part of hair at the back ("the jungle") is often neglected.
  • To clean it properly, separate hair with fingers before applying Shampoo.
  • Do not lather Shampoo immediately; keep it in liquid form to reach the scalp.
• Shampoo Application Tips
  • Shampoo needs to reach the scalp where oil is produced, not just the hair strands.
  • Avoid lathering Shampoo in your hands first—this prevents it from reaching the scalp.
  • Allocate about half of your Shampoo and scrubbing effort to the jungle area.
• Proper Scrubbing Technique
  • Scrubbing requires firm pressure with fingertips, not a light massage or rubbing with palms.
  • Fingertips should press into the scalp to break up oil buildup.
  • This removes residue and prevents odor and buildup.
• Listening to Your Scalp
  • Understand the difference between dandruff (yellow, smelly) and dry flakes (white, odorless).
  • Dry flakes often result from overwashing and scalp dryness, not dandruff.
  • Avoid washing hair on a strict schedule; wash only when hair feels genuinely dirty.
  • Use dry Shampoo to extend time between washes.
• Determining When to Wash Hair
  • Washing frequency depends on:
    1. How clean you got your hair last time.
    2. Your scalp’s oil production.
    3. Environmental and seasonal changes.
  • Most people only get their hair 70-80% clean; incomplete cleaning leads to quicker buildup and odor.
• How to Achieve 100% Clean Hair
  • Do a two-wash routine:
    • First wash loosens oil and dirt.
    • Second wash removes stubborn oil.
  • Distribute Shampoo evenly:
    • Half on the back (jungle).
    • One quarter on top.
    • One quarter on the sides.
  • Scrub thoroughly with fingertips.
• Choosing the Right Shampoo ("Shampoo Soulmate")
  • Professional shampoos remove oil effectively; drugstore shampoos often do not.
  • Using professional Shampoo daily or on mids and ends can dry out hair.
  • Adjust washing frequency and Shampoo application according to Shampoo type.
• Visual Trick to Check Cleanliness
  • Shampoo forms less lather when hair is dirty (Shampoo binds to oil/dirt and doesn’t bubble).
  • On the second wash, hair should produce lots of suds indicating cleanliness.
  • Lack of suds means continue washing.
• Conditioner Application Tips
  • Thoroughly wring out excess water before applying Conditioner to allow better absorption.
  • Use enough Conditioner so mids and ends feel slippery, but avoid roots.
  • Spread Conditioner evenly to ensure all hair gets moisturized.
  • Conditioner amount varies by hair type; aim for consistent coverage rather than a fixed quantity.
• General Advice
  • Hair health improves dramatically when washing and conditioning techniques are done correctly.
  • Avoid following outdated or generic hair care routines.
  • Use personalized product recommendations and Hair Type Quizzes to find the best Shampoo and Conditioner.
