We get it: Sometimes you get in the shower, it's late at night or early in the morning, and you're just moving through the motions. But if you're washing your hair, you'll want to be wide awake and present with your routine. When your hair is wet, it is much more fragile and prone to breakage. Roughly rubbing, brushing, and tying up our wet hair are the most common ways we all ruin our hair. You should be mindful of handling your hair anytime it's wet, but you should be extra intentional when applying your shampoo.
Avoid rubbing the bottom strands of your hair, which have been on your head the longest and thus have endured the most damage. The bottom of your hair is the farthest from your scalp, where natural hair oils are secreted. As NYC hair stylist Judy McGuinness (@judzdoeshair) shared on her TikTok video, you should only focus your shampoo on your scalp. McGuinness recommended you leave the conditioner at the bottom of your hair while you shampoo to ensure you preserve your ends. Ultimately, hydrating your hair is going to be the most important step.
