Before you do a lot of hair care for further, you should first add information about washing hair with shampoo!

How many times do you have to wash your hair?
There is no danger of washing your hair every day but the process of hair washing, drying and styling  makes them you lose your hair of moisture. Therefore, Jeffrey J. Miller, MD, assistant professor of Dermatology at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, United States suggests the following tips:

*  Wash your hair every day if you have oily hair and live in a polluted city, very damp and work outside of the room every day.

*  Wash your hair once in two day if your hair is normal or combination (oily at roots but dry at the end).

* Wash hair 2 times a week if your hair dry or you live in the highlands. (The air is cleaner than the humidity and pollution).

Is it safe to use too much shampoo?
As long as you clean it thoroughly from the hair, no problem. Volume of shampoo also that used determined by length and thickness of hair.

There was a salon that washed hair with warm water. Is there an ideal temperature for the rinse water?
Warm water helps to rinse shampoo better so make the hair cleaner. However avoid the hot water, because it will make the hair brittle. David Edery, hair stylist from Paris Salon Attitudes of Houston, suggested for the final cleaning is better to use cold water. Cold water will lock the content of shampoo so as it wouldn’t wasted and make hair more shine.

When the shampoo stops working ..
Have you ever feel that shampoo you use no longer make your hair shine? Actually, the shampoo is not stops working, but your hair surface has changed.

Simple test: Look of your nails. If your nails easily peeled or torn, its mean you are having problems of aging. Water content in tissue and cell in the body begin to decrease and make your hair more dry. All you need to do is buy a shampoo that contains moisturizers.

The best way to diagnose the type of hair is when you just finished washing your hair and dried naturally. At that time you can know your hair type clearly.

You’ll need a conditioner
Why conditioner is so important? Conditioner finished the ‘task’ of shampoo to make hair easy to manage and cured hair problems like the broken tip of the hair. “Everyone must have a hair problem, but what distinguishes is the level of damage,” says Cheri McMaster, senior research and development scientist for Pantene. If your hair remains manageable and Bouncy, its means you have found the right conditioner.

Some clues about the conditioner and shampoo that you need to know are:

Mixing and Matching.
You can allow use different product brands as long as they have same content and function. But usually some brand of shampoo and conditioner were better and work more effective.

Two-In-Ones
2 in 1 Shampoo does not provide all of the capabilities that provided by a separate shampoo and conditioner. If you do want the best results from the conditioner, its better to use a separate shampoo and conditioner.
