Start by gently brushing your hair before you get into the shower.

This gets your blood circulating and gets rid of dead hair before it can make it into your shower drain.

Use warm water (not hot) to wet your hair, then use a moderate amount of shampoo.

Don't overdo it: You'll waste money, but you won't get better results.

Massage the shampoo slowly into your scalp.

Again, this is all about improving the circulation in your scalp. It also helps the shampoo clean out dirt and oils.

Rinse out the shampoo and squeeze the water out of your hair.

Now, apply conditioner. Let it sit for a minute.

When you rinse out the conditioner, use cool water.

This helps to protect your hair from damage and gives you the most from your conditioner. The water doesn't have to be cold, but it should be fairly cool.

If you blow dry, use low heat and move from root to tip.

Now you've got beautiful, full hair properly washed and conditioned. Enjoy!
