Quick Tip

Well in the past I put up another "Quick Tip" about washing your face and how hot and cold water affects the pores in your face ( you can go back and read past Quick Tips to refresh your memory) and the same rules apply to your hair, instead of pores, its cuticles.

When washing your hair you should always shampoo first and condition second, most people know this but what they don't know is the temperature to use. When shampooing it is good to have the water warm to hot because it opens up the cuticles in your hair allowing all the dirt to be washed out although just leaving it like that will leave it dry and frizzy, so next you condition.

Now when you condition use COLD water because the cold water will close up the cuticle allowing the hair to absorb and keep the moisture in your hair.
