For many, achieving healthier hair can feel like an overwhelming task, especially with all the information available. But one key tip often recommended by hair care experts is double cleansing the scalp, a technique that promises cleaner, healthier hair.
Sheri, a 51-year-old YouTuber from Graceful Beauty, recently shared the four natural techniques that helped her restore her hair’s thickness and health. One of the main tips she discussed was double cleansing the scalp, which she credits for reversing her hair loss and shedding without relying on biotin supplements.
Double cleansing works by removing dirt and product build-up with the first wash and clearing out remaining impurities with the second wash. Sheri believes this technique helps promote a healthier scalp, which leads to better hair growth.
In addition to double cleansing, Sheri uses several other methods to boost her hair health. One of her favorites is applying a blend of rosemary and mint oils to her scalp before washing. She typically applies this oil 30 minutes to 4 hours before a wash to help block DHT, a hormone that can shrink hair follicles and stunt growth.
Sheri also protects her hair ends with coconut oil before washing. “It helps keep my ends shiny and healthy,” she explained. The coconut oil acts as a shield for her strands during washing.
Another key tip Sheri swears by is conditioning her hair before shampooing. She applies conditioner to the lower half of her hair to protect it from the harsh effects of shampoo. “It gives my hair an extra layer of protection,” she said.
Finally, Sheri emphasizes the importance of thoroughly cleansing the scalp. “I always wash my hair twice to get thick, full, healthy hair,” she explained. She believes this step is crucial for avoiding thinning or shedding.
If hair loss or thinning becomes severe, Sheri advises seeking professional advice. “It could be a thyroid issue or something else, so it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor,” she suggested.
