When it comes to hair care, shampooing is often treated as a quick, routine task: lather, rinse, repeat. But the truth is, there’s an art to shampooing that can transform the health of your scalp and hair. This month, Nat is sharing her pro tip on why your second shampoo is the real game-changer.
Why Shampoo Twice?
The first shampoo works as a pre-cleanse, lifting dirt, oil, and product build-up from your scalp and strands. This clears the way for the second shampoo — the one that allows active ingredients to penetrate, nourish, and work their magic.
The Power of Time
Here’s where most people miss out: rushing through the second wash. For best results, let your shampoo sit for 3–5 minutes before rinsing. Why?
Deep Clean: Ingredients have time to bind to dirt + oil and fully cleanse the scalp.
Hydration: Shampoos enriched with nourishing properties need time to absorb, helping prevent dryness.
Treatment Benefits: Anti-dandruff, calming, or strengthening shampoos need that pause to really take effect.
How to Maximise Your Shampoo Routine
Choose wisely: Match your shampoo to your scalp + hair needs (hydration, volume, scalp care).
Massage it in: While it sits, gently massage your scalp to boost circulation and enhance results.
Don’t skip conditioner: Always follow with conditioner to lock in moisture and protect your strands.
Nat’s takeaway:“Your second shampoo isn’t just a step, it’s a treatment. Give it time, and your scalp will thank you with healthier, happier hair.”
