Professional Shampooing Techniques

The journey to beautiful hair starts with proper cleansing technique. Our salon experts emphasise these critical steps:

  • Final cool rinse for added shine

Strategic Sectioning

  • Divide hair into manageable sections
  • Ensure thorough product distribution 
  • Focus on often-missed areas like nape and crown

Professional Application

  • Start at the scalp with gentle fingertip massage 
  • Avoid using fingernails that can irritate the scalp 
  • Double cleanse when needed: first for removal, second for treatment

    Proper conditioning is crucial for maintaining professional results:

    Product Application

    • Focus on mid-lengths to ends 
    • Use professional-grade wide-tooth combs
