It sounds ridiculously simple but do you really know how to wash your hair properly? If you have ever thought your hair feels it’s cleanest when you’ve just left the salon, then you could be missing a couple of simple tricks to get the same result at home. At Larry King we want to help you get the best hair of your life, whether you’re sitting here in the salon or at home on your sofa. So, let us take you back to basics with our definitive guide on how to really wash your hair properly, using the best products and the best practice to get the very best clean, from our very own salon experts.

GET INTO THE BEST PRODUCTS

Your routine should start from the roots, literally. The skin on your scalp requires care and maintenance just like the rest of your face and body, so, the first product you use needs to get rid of all the build up, from pollution, sweat or styling products that you naturally accumulate. A good quality scalp scrub works to exfoliate, purify and clarify your scalp so your follicles can breathe and encourage shinier, healthier hair growth. 

But how do we implement a scalp scrub into our hair wash routine?

We’ve made this product because we know how important it is to look after your scalp as part of your hair care routine. The team at Larry King have shared some tips on how to use the new Clean As a Whistle scalp scrub to get the best results.

 GET INTO THE BEST PRACTICE

Here is your simple step by step routine to get the cleanest hair, every time.

1. Soak it to scrub it

Before applying, our stylists recommend soaking your hair thoroughly with warm water. This will begin to wash away any existing dirt and open the pores enabling the scrub to deeply cleanse the scalp for better results. 

2. Treat yourself to a massage

Apply a generous amount of the product onto your scalp, then using your fingertips massage gently in a circular motion from the tip of your hairline to the nape of your neck. This technique increases blood flow, stimulating the hair follicles to grow faster which can promote the removal of dead skin cells. 

3. Rinse & Repeat 

For best results the team would always recommend a double cleanse after using the scalp scrub. To do this lather your favourite shampoo onto your hair, rinse it off, then repeat the cycle a second time. Reach for our City Life shampoo as it is designed to purify and detoxify giving you that ultra clean feeling. 

4.  Give it a cold rinse  

Since we used warm water to open our pores, it’s good to finish your hair wash routine with a cold rinse to close them. This helps to trap moisture and keep out dirt, leaving you with a scalp that is primed and ready for new products.

If you follow these steps once a week you can absolutely ensure you’re getting a proper wash every time you step out of the shower. For the freshest, healthiest hair possible, make the cleanest choice and get into Clean As A Whistle Scalp Scrub.
