Many people focus on how often they should wash their hair.
However, specialists say that the way products are used can be just as important as washing frequency.
Choosing the right products
Hair care products should match the needs of your hair and scalp.
Different formulas are designed for oily scalps, dry hair, damaged hair, or color treated hair.

According to experts cited by Trendencias, using suitable products consistently can help improve the appearance and condition of hair over time.
Common washing mistakes
Experts also point out that shampoo should mainly be applied to the scalp and roots, where oil and dirt build up.
The rest of the hair can be cleaned by the foam that moves through the lengths during rinsing.
This approach may help prevent unnecessary dryness, especially for people with dry or damaged hair.

An alternative method
Several hair care professionals have discussed a technique that differs from the traditional routine.
The key recommendation is to apply conditioner before shampoo.
According to hairdresser Olga G. San Bartolomé cited by Trendencias, this method may add moisture without making the hair feel heavy.
Kuki Giménez, spokesperson for Druni, recommends applying conditioner from roots to ends before washing thoroughly with shampoo.

Pharmacist Helena Rodero also advises that when both a hair mask and conditioner are used, the hair mask should be applied first, followed by the conditioner.
According to her recommendation, this order helps the hair benefit from both products before cleansing.
