When washing your hair

Question

Do you apply shampoo all the way down your hair, or just massage it into your scalp?
I have always washed all of my hair, all the way down, but I just realized in movies and tv shows, they always just massage it into their scalp and not wash the entire length of their hair. It has me wondering if I'm doing it wrong?

😒😒😒 Calm down Callie. Certain things, like washing your hair, you typically only do a specific way your whole life because that's how you were taught. Obviously I'm not sitting in the shower watching other women wash their hair, so I have no clue how everyone else does it, or what is the "right" way. So when I'm seeing a simple every day action done a different way literally every single time in a movie/tv show, it's understandable that I would question the way I was taught. Hence why  I asked on here. To get an idea on how other women ACTUALLY wash their hair.

Answer

Shampoo is for your scalp, conditioner is for your hair

Answer

Only wash your scalp, the shampoo will pass by while you rinse. Then only apply conditioner to your ends. This will help prevent drying out your hair.

Answer

Shampoo your scalp. Conditioner I believe should be applied half way down your hair then downwards. And you need less than you probably think you do. Apparently you are only supposed to use 2 dime sized amounts. I was not taught how to wash my hair either. I found out online. Hell I still have trouble with it. I have a habit of using a lot of product. Now I'm trying to cut down which is also good because hopefully the bottles last longer. I usually forget to repurchase until the last minute 😬 and it doesnt hurt to save the money too.

Answer

It depends. If I've been mowing grass or doing something that makes all my hair dirty I make sure it all gets shampooed thoroughly. If it's just feeling grimy on my head, I just concentrate on my scalp, but most of my hair ends up getting cleaned in the process of sudsing and rinsing.

Answer

All over because I use product and the rinse down isnt gonna get that off. Conditioner only on ends though.

Answer

I just shampoo my scalp, and condition everything.

Answer

I shampoo my scalp and all of my hair. It’s super oily after a couple of days of not washing it so if I just wash my scalp, the rest of my hair still feels dirty.

Answer

I scrub my scalp and spread the suds down all of my hair.   Conditioner I only do from like 1/3 down on my hair though, not directly on my scalp, because I think it weighs down my already heavy hair.

Answer

I’ve always washed all of it with shampoo and I learned early on that conditioner is only for the length of it. Myth I learned(not sure it’s true) is that conditioning ur scalp can cause ur heat to more easily fall out when ur detangling it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’m reading that a lot of women say shampoo is only for the scalp and that it can dry out the ends. It makes sense but then again that may depend on how greasy ur hair is naturally. 
I dk, good question. Something I never thought about. I just do as I learned from my mom.

Answer

I focus mainly on the scalp but of course i wash all the length to the tips. Sometimes i don't even apply conditioner and my hair is not damaged. Maybe it's mainly because I've never dyed my hair but I've never had problems with dry hair and tbh I hope it can get a little dry because all of the shine sometimes looks like its greasy but its just the natural shine.. 😕
