Shampoo thinning

[veronica]

Wow I was having some problems and solved them by thinning my shampoo.

I have long hair and usually am washing it overmuch because the scalp gets oily or dirty from workouts, etc. The ends I would be happy to smooth and comb out with conditioning spray.

I realised I liked the effect better when i used one half shampoo to water mixed up and then applied to hair. Now i feel like I don't have to lather up twice and dry my ends but the scalp gets rinsed.

Anybody else do this?

Is your hair processed? The I would definitely recommend stepping back the shampoo product. Overwashing can set up a deadly oil-producing overwashing cycle that will build real probems for your scalp.

Try to skip days between washings and brush oils from scalp into hair.

ha this is an old trick. My mom used to do this when we were little to ake baby shampoo. She said baby shampoo had too much detergent in it.

Yes you should have bigger volume of light sudsing water for scalp rinsing. I would say detangle then with a more intensive product and avoid the scalp with it. That promotes oiliness.

You might want to check how hard your water is.
