Using shampoo's and conditioners The Right way

• Recently a client asked me "How to use the Organic Shampoos and conditioners ?" exactly and I realized that we as hairdressers take it for granted that you KNOW how to use the products that you buy whether organic or no. Usually a good product will have the method of use, the instructions written on the bottle itself or at least as a guideline.
  As a hairdresser and educator in the industry for over 25 years now I will tell you that we as educators always get educated first and foremost on the products we use first and foremost before we ever use them, all of companies vary and the result is based upon the education of correct knowledge and use. Do the same "if you don't know, don't assume" ASK. ?
  
  
  HOWEVER this is what we recommend for you and to follow as a method for using products here so that they do not cause more damage to you. As you might guess incorrect use can create a whole host of other problems for you.
  
  Our products are in fact all certified organic and have a great harmonic and life force or bio-energetic energy you can find out more about that from our website.
  Here are the guidelines and methods we use as professionals for our product use.
  
  
  For shampoo massage into the scalp and middle of hair emulsify with water to shake down the hair Organics are extremely light or concentrated too much product use just creates more waste and higher product sales ( think about it ) be ECO friendly only use what you need.
  
  With organics you should rinse more than normal as they are highly concentrated and have done their job with use. NO extra products is required with Organics less is best
  So use small amounts and emulsify with water shampoo twice (always) and rinse alot more than usual, we find that people simply don't rinse enough as we have a subconscious perception that if we leave a bit in it helps or we feel it is clean when actually as hairdressers absolutely no cleansing products should be left in the hair, none, you wouldn't leave soap or bodywash on your skin would you so rinse out more than you would normally about twice as long as you think you should. We do !!
  
  For our conditioner or most conditioners, we suggest at least one inch away from the scalp
  Always use your conditioner never skip this step it actually does protect the hair and closes the cuticle and protects the hair shaft from the environment and damage getting into the hair and breaking it down.
  
  Never leave conditioner on, it will do it's job then rinse it off. Leaving it on can create a build up a white or grey scaly chalk like layer on your hair and causes more damage and dullness and flatness, if it is on your hair it is also on your scalp is it not !!
  Guess what itchy flaky or scalp problems ensue.
  We know we see quite alot of these types of issues in the salon and more hair care and scalp problems come from BUILD UP on hair especially if they are chemical or synthetic, silicone based products.
  If you need extra conditioning use a good re-treatment and use it regularly,we would suggest a protein based one, or use a small amount of a smoothing product or a serum, we can assist you and help you define your needs.
• A conditioner is a conditioner, let it be so .........
  It's important to define what you need and use less ( though of course trying out lots of products can be fun we know that ..............!!
  For the rebuilding and repair treatments always squeeze dry most of the moisture first from your hair, very gently though, after your shampooing then, take a small amount about a dollar size in the palm of your hand and blend over and in your hand evenly, apply to the hair from at least 1 inch off of the scalp area ( not into or onto scalp ) and pull through with hands evenly, middle of hair and ends most and the cover with cap if possible for 10 to 15 Min's - (perhaps cover cap with towel for additional heat to infuse into the hair more)

• other options is to leave in 3 to 5 Min's for a quick treatment and rinse out thoroughly it still works repetition and constant use is the key not always time those good habits that work for us
And please be kind to your hair, never ever leave product in the hair, it only builds up and causes problems later on !

Hope that this How to helps you
