Hair can quickly accumulate sweat and product buildup, necessitating a thorough clean periodically. However, many people may have been washing their hair incorrectly for years, according to beauty expert @tspaappleton on TikTok. She detailed a five-step method to properly wash hair in a viral video.
The expert’s recommended routine starts with shampooing the hair twice, ensuring a thorough rinse between each application. After the double shampoo, she advises applying conditioner, followed by a leave-in conditioner and heat protector. To finish, she suggests using hair serum or oil for a glossy finish.
This detailed method has sparked debate among viewers, with opinions split on the necessity of multiple steps for achieving clean hair, as reported by the Mirror.
Hair care is highly individual, and what works for one person may not suit another. Some viewers praised the advice, with one user commenting, “No wonder my hair has been getting so long. I’ve been doing something exactly right.” Another shared, “Sometimes I shampoo three times if my hair is really dirty,” while someone else mentioned, “Only thing I don’t do is the hair serum/oil.”
However, not everyone agrees with this approach. Some believe that excessive shampooing can dry out their hair, while others find the routine unnecessary. The time-consuming nature of the method also drew comments, with one user stating, “Not me – just shampooing once and use conditioner. The end. Nothing else.”
Cost concerns were also mentioned, with a viewer humorously noting, “If I have to shampoo twice, then they better make shampoo prices affordable.” Another joked, “I asked my budget, and it said I can only shampoo once.”
Overall, the advice has prompted a range of reactions, highlighting the diverse preferences and needs when it comes to hair care.
