Guide to washing hair (but without getting your ears and eyes wet).

If you (or, more likely, your children) also have the problem of combining the need for wash your hair properly with the simultaneous need not to wet your ears and eyes, read on here: you will find a quick guide available to all those people who wish to be able to wash their hair correctly without however harming your ears or your eyes (a preference that in some cases is obviously “forced”, as in the case of convalescence from an otoplasty operation).

Well, as you can guess, the quickest and simplest solution is to have your hair washed as if it were a hairdressing salon-style sink (that is, with your head back): in this way the water will flow without getting your face wet but, on the other hand, you will need to get help from someone who can wash your hair.

A second alternative is represented by the use of a dry shampoo: it is a solution particularly used in some specific situations, and which sprayed on the hair will give you a feeling of cleanness … “momentary”: it is not in fact a substitute for a healthy wash with abundant water and conditioner, and therefore this is only a temporary solution.

Another alternative comes from America. Called “Lil Rinser “, it is a real invention by two New York parents who often had the problem of washing their children’s hair, facing the complaints deriving from the annoyance they felt when water got into their eyes and ears.

The Lil Rinser it is a rather special instrument that has been available for a few years, with an extremely low cost. On the site lilrinser.com the operation is well explained: it is a sort of “crown” that must be kept on the forehead of the children while they are being washed. Apparently it may not be a very convenient solution (and actually it is not a particularly usable method, considering that one hand will be constantly occupied by the Lil Rinser – unless you get help from the child), but it can still be an ally. for particularly extreme situations.

Hair washing

Is washing your hair every day good or bad?

One of the questions that comes most frequently to our editorial office is: is washing your hair every day good or bad for you? Without prejudice to the fact that, in case of problems, we recommend that you talk to a good dermatologist you trust, who can support you in identifying the most correct habits to be able to find the right well-being, it is still possible to provide some general guidelines to be able to ensure a better relationship with your hair.

So many habits, so little clarity

If you ask ten people what they think about the habit of washing their hair too often or too infrequently, you will probably get many different answers. In fact, some people believe that washing their hair very often can damage and weaken it to the point of thinning. Other people, on the other hand, believe that you need to wash your hair daily with shampoo, especially if you live in surroundings that might-with their exogenous factors-“attack” your hair with dirt and pollution. But which is the correct way to go?

Washing your hair every day: here is the “truth” (maybe)

Daily washing, or washing every 2 days, is not in itself harmful to the hair shafts or scalp. On the other hand, there is no universal rule that – as we anticipated above – can apply to all women, and can ideally indicate how often you should cleanse your hair. However, common sense should always prevail in these cases, considering that washing should be done at the time of need, that is, at the time when you feel that your hair is dull, heavy and does not hold the hairdo.

In this regard, we must also disprove the “myth” that frequent washing can cause hair to fall out, considering that the frequency of cleansing does not adversely affect hair structure. If anything, what harms the hair, so much so that it weakens the hair, are detergents, which are too aggressive and, if used regularly, can actually ruin and weaken the hair.

What product is best to use (and how)?

But then what are the products you should use in order to be able to wash your hair without damaging it? A good starting point (for the end point you should talk to a referring specialist!) is to start with mild shampoos, with a neutral pH around 5, specific for each type of scalp and hair. It is also essential to always use a conditioner, especially if your hair is medium-long: in this way you will be able to ensure the availability of a product that can contribute to the formation of a protective cuticle around the stems, which can preserve them from mechanical damage, chemical damage, and atmospheric damage.

Also, remember that there is something you can also do when rinsing, in the shower: use water that is not too hot, and rinse your hair well in order to be able to avoid deposits of shampoo and conditioner remaining in it.

At this point, renewing the invitation to talk to a good specialist about the health of your hair, in order to get to the identification of the best solutions to be able to ensure the best well-being for it, we can only suggest that you take a look at the gallery with which we want to close our today’s in-depth review, where you will find dozens of useful models to be able to improve the knowledge of contemporary styles at the top of the moment!
