How to Shampoo Correctly: Essential Steps for a Healthy Scalp and Beautiful Hair
10.02.2025

Hello, everyone. This is Yumi, stylist at Viangehair Fuga.
In today’s blog, I would like to share the proper way to shampoo your hair.
Before applying shampoo, there are two important steps you should take.
The first is brushing. Brushing helps remove the day’s dust, dirt, and buildup from your hair.
The second is the pre-wash. This means rinsing your scalp and hair thoroughly with warm water before shampooing. Rather than simply wetting your hair, take time to cleanse your scalp with the water itself. Doing these two steps makes it easier to wash away impurities and helps the shampoo lather beautifully.
If shampoo does not lather well, excess sebum can remain on the scalp. This often leads to dandruff, itchiness, unpleasant odors, or even friction damage to the hair. Once you apply shampoo, work it into a rich foam. The amount of shampoo will depend on your hair length, but if you find the lather insufficient, lightly rinse and reapply a small amount. This will create a better foam and a more effective cleanse.
Finally, gently massage your entire scalp with your fingertips to promote circulation and lift away impurities. Be sure to rinse thoroughly afterward, as leftover residue can clog pores and cause dandruff or itchiness.
Mastering these simple yet essential steps will make your shampoo routine more effective, keeping both your scalp health and your hair in its most beautiful condition.
