Yes, there is a right way to shampoo your hair and it is crucial for maintaining your overall hair and scalp health.

The results of a research from the Indian Journal of Dermatology (IJD) indicate that shampoos are products designed to clean and soothe the scalp from dirt and other greasy residuals and aren’t recommended for the hair.

You should start by getting your hair wet in lukewarm water and then apply a small amount of shampoo on your scalp, which is where you should focus the cleaning and massage in gentle, circular motions to cleanse it thoroughly.

The amount of shampoo varies for each person. However, over-shampooing can strip your hair of natural oils and under-shampooing can lead to product buildup and an oily scalp. It is important to find a balance that works for you and remember that the frequency of shampooing can vary depending on your hair type and lifestyle.
