Washing your hair: the method everyone does wrong and how to fix it 💆🏼‍♀️

Washing your hair is a simple task that we all do several times a week. Yet, few people know that there is a "right" way to do it!
Between unsuitable shampoos, washing too frequently and poorly distributed treatments, our hair can quickly lose its shine.
What if we told you that you should only wash your roots?
Discover in this article how to adopt the right habits for a healthy scalp and sublime lengths.

1. Do you really only need to wash the roots? 🫧

Yes, that's true!
When you wash your hair, it is primarily the scalp that needs to be cleaned — not the lengths.
This is where sebum, pollution, and impurities accumulate.
The lengths of the hair are naturally cleaned by the shampoo foam that flows during rinsing.
Rubbing all of your hair only damages the ends and makes them dry.

💡 The right thing to do:
Massage only the roots with your fingers (or better yet, with an FTS shampoo brush: here 👈🏼).
This brush stimulates blood circulation, helps remove product residue and makes the scalp healthier, thus promoting hair growth.

2. Which shampoo for which type of roots? 🧴

Choosing the right shampoo is crucial for maintaining a balanced scalp.
Here are some simple guidelines:

• Oily roots: opt for a purifying shampoo based on clay, lemon or mint.
• Dry roots: opt for a nourishing and gentle shampoo, based on natural oils (argan, coconut, shea).
• Sensitive scalp: choose a soothing, sulfate-free formula, often based on oats or aloe vera.
• For normal hair: a mild shampoo with a neutral pH is sufficient.

In all cases, avoid using multiple products and prioritize regularity and gentleness.

3. The perfect technique for effective washing 🚿

1. Wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount of shampoo to the scalp.
3. Gently massage with your fingers or the FTS shampoo brush, using circular motions.
4. Let the mousse glide over the lengths of your hair without rubbing them.
5. Rinse thoroughly, then finish with a jet of cold water to close the scales.

The result: clean roots, soft lengths, and shinier hair.

4. And after shampooing? Conditioner or a hair mask, but only on the ends! 🧖🏼‍♀️

Many people make the mistake of applying their conditioner or hair mask all over their hair. Bad idea!
These treatments should only be applied to the lengths and ends, where the hair is driest and most damaged.

💡 Tip:

• For fine hair, opt for a light conditioner to avoid weighing it down.
• For thick or curly hair, a nourishing mask once or twice a week will work wonders.
• Then gently detangle with your brush.

Taking care of your hair starts with washing it.
By focusing on the roots, using the right shampoo and the right techniques, you give your scalp a real beauty treatment.
