We care about ensuring that you leave our barbershop with the best-looking hair possible. That’s why we also pay attention to the final styling, including blow-drying and the use of hair products. However, it doesn’t make sense for us to create a hairstyle that the customer won’t be able to recreate at home.
How and Why to Wash Your Hair Properly – Part 1
We want to share with you the key secret behind a low-maintenance hairstyle, and that is:
Few people would expect this, but those who truly know how to wash their hair properly are as rare as those who brush their teeth correctly. (As many dental hygienists would confirm.) Just like with teeth, where the focus is not so much on cleaning the teeth themselves but rather on the spaces between the tooth and gum, hair washing follows a similar principle – the most important part is the scalp. Next in line would be the hair ends, while the mid-lengths of the hair should be the last priority.
What accumulates on our scalp?
The highest concentration of impurities is found at the hair roots. This includes both external pollutants and substances that are a natural part of the “hair life cycle.” Sebum, dead skin cells (which later form dandruff), fungi, and various bacteria and yeasts accumulate here—some of which we definitely don’t want to overpopulate.
However, it’s important to note that certain bacteria and yeasts form the microbiome of our scalp, which is an essential part of our skin! Their role is to protect our scalp from harmful pathogens. Recent studies even suggest that some bacterial colonies may release vitamins and essential amino acids into their environment, which can actually nourish our scalp.
Tip
If you’re willing to invest more in hair care products, the market now offers scalp tonics designed to protect the microbiome. When used in combination with a gentle shampoo, they help create the healthiest possible foundation for your hair.
It just proves true that ‘one whirlpool to rule them all, one to command them, one to bring them all, and in the bathroom bind them.
