Should you really shampoo twice? Learn the “right way to wash your hair” based on your scalp condition — the more you wash, the healthier it gets!

Have you ever heard the urban legend that says you should shampoo twice? For the lazy ones, that probably sounds like too much work… but why does this saying exist? In fact, the “double shampoo method” does have its reasoning — whether you need it or not depends on your scalp condition and daily lifestyle!

The first wash removes surface dirt from the hair — such as dust, styling spray, and other buildup from the air.

The second wash focuses on deep-cleansing the scalp. Use your fingertips to gently massage, helping to remove excess oil and dandruff.

During the first round of shampooing, you’ll notice fewer bubbles and a bit of resistance while washing — this happens because the dirt hasn’t been fully removed yet. In the second round, the foam becomes rich and smooth, allowing for a thorough cleanse that removes sebum and impurities from the scalp, helping reduce dandruff, odor, and excess oil production.

In fact, this so-called “urban legend” does have some truth to it.
For office workers who commute under the sun during summer, if your scalp tends to get oily quickly or you’re dealing with dandruff, the double shampoo method can be very effective. On the other hand, during colder and drier seasons — especially for those who spend most of their time indoors — washing once is usually enough.

1. Before shampooing, gently comb your hair to prevent tangles and breakage.
2. Thoroughly wet your hair and scalp with warm water.
3. Dispense shampoo into your palms, lather it up, then apply evenly to your scalp and hair.
4. Use your fingertips to massage the scalp in circular motions — never scratch with your nails.
5. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no residue is left behind.​
