Best way to do a scalp wash

[Faepirate]

Hi :]

I've never done a scalp wash. I tried once, and it was a bit of a disaster.

Now, I know there are some expert scalp-washers here, and since I'm not one of them, I'd like to know how you do it! Hints! Tips! Methods!

Please? :o

Have you seen the article that Amoretti wrote (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=85)?

I turn my head upside down, grab the hair with my left hand and coil the length around hand. I lift my head back up, holding the hair above my head. Using my right hand I wet the hair around scalp and apply either diluted shampoo with an old dye bottle (it has a small pointy tip) or rub a shampoo bar straight to scalp. Then I massage a bit and rinse.

I try to do this all very quickly before my left hand goes numb. :)

I use the same method as Sceleste. I have to wash my scalp every day (since puberty) otherwise it looks like somebody poured oil on it :(

No I haven't! Thanks for that! :)

And thanks, Sceleste, for sharing your method. :)

Here's (http://archive.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=15591) a good scalp washing thread from the archive. :smile:

I never tried doing this as my scalp isn't really oily. But now I see a distinct advantage from the very last post in that thread.

Hang the braid on a hook over the sink.

I can hang it in the shower and I won't have to wet my length or go numb trying to hold it!!

WOOOOTT!!!

Thank y'all!!

Love and Hugs,

I do it while soaking in a hot tub and submerged in the water. My hair floating around loosely gives me better access to my scalp instead of standing up in a shower or with wet hair plastered down my back.

lmao... that's too funny.:cheese:

I have never done a scalp wash. It sounds interesting and perhaps something I might need to do as my hair on the scalp tends to get oily the day after I wash it.
