Let’s Talk Double Washing…
There are two things that I hate doing in life, but they are absolutely necessary. One - washing my hair. Two - putting gas in my car. Both don’t take that long, but man, how easy life would be if we didn’t HAVE to!
With how much we invest into our hair, washing it and keeping it clean is one of the best things we can do to maintain our overall scalp and hair health. Ever wonder what extra steps you can take to benefit your hair? Let’s talk about it…
A little backstory first…
Over the last few years, I have invested in regularly seeing an aesthetician. Im not a teenager anymore that can just sleep in her mascara and wake up the next day with clear skin. Something that I noticed that she did while I was in her care was to ALWAYS double cleanse my face. We put product on our skin; makeup, skincare, and if we opt out of those, environmental factors like sweat, dust and dirt are still present at the end of the day, so why would our hair be any different? I started to do a little research…
No matter how often you wash your hair, there’s ALWAYS going to be build up and other unwanted grime on your hair and scalp. Due to the this annoyance, your shampoos and other products may not be absorbing as well as they should (aka doing what the bottle says it should be doing). HERE’S THE MAGIC: **When you shampoo your hair twice, the first wash helps to get rid of all the unwanted grime and buildup on your hair. The second wash now can actually do what it needs to do, cleanse the scalp and the root of the hair where all of the yuck lives. You will notice that your second wash is SO much sudsier than your first. WHY?! Because now there are no oils or product buildup on your hair anymore! Voila, SQUEAKY. CLEAN. HAIR. (And no, you don’t need shampoo on the ends of your hair. Really, just on your scalp!)
We get asked all of the time, “How can I get this salon feeling at home?” Or, “Why did my hair stay so well after I got it done at the salon?” Short answer, double washing and professional product. A couple of products that we LOVE to get your best scalp/hair yet are ELEVEN AUSTRALIA Gentle Clean Balancing Wash, Kevin Murphy Scalp Spa Wash and Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash.
