To keep your hair healthy and looking its best,washingis an essential task.
Drier hair needs to be washed less often.
But what if you switched things up a bit with your hair?
The diameter of each hair will increase, making it “feel and appear larger” (perByrdie).
If you frequently heat style or have color-treated hair, this technique can be beneficial (perSelf).
Schwarzkopf also recommends reverse washing for people with fine hair for added volume and curly hair for added bounce.
Letting conditioner go first also benefits your scalp, board-certified dermatologist Purvisha Patel told Byrdie.
Shampooing second cleans the scalp, leaving it residue free.
Writer Emily Rekstis tried the technique for Self magazine and loved the results.
Rekstits found reverse washing resulted in softer hair with increased volume at the roots.
