Am I doing it right?

    Biggest mistake is not repeating the wash-rinse twice. Ask a hairdresser why they do it that way.

          I use far far less if I use a very small amount twice rather than a lot once. The shampoo will mix with oils in your hair and when you wash once you just keep rubbing the oil and detergent mix back onto yourself. Using a small amount and rinsing it off will make it function far better.

      It’s 1:30 A.M. and the 24 hour hairdresser hotline (1-800-cut-hair) was shut down years ago, maybe you could explain.

        If you read your shampoo label, it probably says the same thing.

        Rinse, apply a small amount of shampoo, wash, apply some more shampoo, wash again.

        This way, you first remove most of the oil from your hair, and the second time you actually clean it and the scalp.

        In a way, it’s like a dishwasher works with a pre-wash cycle.

          Wash, rinse, repeat… It’s an infinite loop, there is no exit statement. How many repeats? Sounds like “Big Hair” just wants us to buy more product.

          I just looked at my head and shoulders bottle and it does recommend rinse and repeat. It does not however discuss why. I was more pointing out that the first person I was replying to could have just shared the information that they seem to have rather than saying ask someone.

          I wash my hair once a week with water only, and it’s fine.
          Doesn’t smell, doesn’t look greasy, and my scalp is much healthier than when I still used shampoo.
