Beauty Shampoo update
Did you know there are multiple ways to wash your hair? Get across them here!
Pre-washing
Just like a mask, pre-shampoo is all about treating your hair to a powerful dose of hydrating and replenishing goodies before a wash. It helps to prime your strands, evenly distribute shampoo and even make your blowdry last longer. Apply
R+CO Palm Springs Pre-shampoo Treatment Mask $43 to dry hair for 10 minutes to soften locks and seal in moisture.
Co-washing
Short for “conditioner-washing”, this method uses a cleansing conditioner to clean and treat in one. It’s ideal for dry or damaged hair types, or for those of us who are daily hair washers. Use Joico Moisture Co+wash Whipped Cleansing Conditioners $29.95 – the foam formula to help distribute evenly over locks.
Style-washing
Shampoos that only clean are old news – these days it’s all about styling while you wash. Whether you’re after second-day texture, perfect curls or beachy waves, there’s a shampoo that’ll do the hard work for you. Hard Muk Styling & Texturising Shampoo $20.95 has a non-softening formula that adds grit and texture to your locks, leaving it textured, bulky and styled.
Reversewashing
If you have thin locks you’ll know a little conditioner can go a long way – and sometimes, the wrong way – leading to oily strands and little volume. Solution: condition first. It’ll give thirsty hair a drink and wash out any excess product. Tresemme Beauty-full Volume Pre-wash Conditioner $10.99 smooths hair without weighing it down.
Spot-washing
The ultimate lazy hair hack. Spot-washing is exactly what it sounds like – shampooing just one area. Ideal for a fringe that needs a revamp, or the back of your neck after the gym. A clarifying formula like Schwarzkopf Purify & Protect Shampoo $5.49 removes product build-up and sweat.
Personalised-washing
Gone are the days of having to use multiple shampoos to fix different problems. The latest technology means you can sort out any hair dilemma – from an itchy scalp to frizz-prone ends, in one go. Kérastase Paris Bain Divalent $44 targets oily roots and dry ends in one product. Magic!
