THE REVERSE HAIR - WASHING TECHNIQUE

It’s time to forget the ‘lather, rinse, repeat’ hair washing cycle. Actually, just forget everything you thought you know about the hair-washing process. A new hair-cleansing era has arrived, introducing the reverse hair-washing technique. What’s this!? We hear you yell, just read on to find out what you’re missing out on….

From industry professionals to beauty bloggers, the reverse hair-washing technique is the hair care trend that everyone is talking about. If you struggle with oily roots and dry tips, you could soon be raving about the new take on traditional hair-washing, too!

As we all know too well, sometimes daily washing and conditioning can leave our roots feeling heavy and greasy. However the trouble is, if we miss the conditioner, the lengths and ends of our hair end up feeling super dry and brittle. It’s a vicious circle but, the reverse hair-washing technique could just be the way to break it. All you need to do is follow these simple steps;

The reverse hair-washing technique: Step one

Essentially the reverse hair-washing technique is basically washing your hair backwards. So, instead of grabbing your shampoo first, opt for the conditioner and distribute it through your hair from root to tip, using a comb to eliminate any tangles.

The reverse hair-washing technique: Step two

When you’ve worked your conditioner throughout your tresses avoid the urge to wash this out immediately, instead leave it to soak for roughly five minutes. This will give it time to absorb into your hair’s cuticles for a boost of moisture where it’s need the most.

The reverse hair-washing technique: Step three

When you’re confident that your conditioner has had enough time to hydrate your hair, rinse it all out and finish off by lightly shampooing your locks. Rinse again and, you’re done! In theory your hair should feel light, bouncy and squeaky clean! Hoorah!

Don’t forget…

Before you give the reverse hair-washing technique a go, it’s worth remembering that conditioning before shampooing works best on fine hair (this is due to the fact that fine hair is more prone to oily roots). If your hair is super thick or a little dry, then it’s probably a better idea to stick to your regular hair-washing routine to avoid any unfortunate frizz-related hair mishaps.
