The newest trend in hair care is the reverse shampoo washing system. No one is entirely sure who invented the ingenious method of moisturizing and cleansing hair in a manner that leaves the tresses soft and bouncy. It was popularized by a 2014 Glamour.co.uk article, and now the system of conditioning before shampooing is gaining popularity in the United States. The gentle conditioning lends a bouncy, lightweight effect on hair. Beauty bloggers have been trying the method that promises to moisturize the hair without weighing it down. Is reverse washing right for you? Here are the frequently asked questions about reverse shampoo washing.
How does the system work?
Reverse washing pre-conditions hair to prevent dryness that leaves hair brittle and prone to breakage. After rinsing, the gentle cleanser removes the conditioner and the natural oils and sweat that leave hair a greasy and smelly. Without conditioner or oils to weigh it down, hair is cleansed and lightweight.
How will a reverse shampoo system work on my hair type?
- Is your hair colored or highlighted? Chemically treated hair will definitely enjoy an increased boost of bounce with a reverse washing system. The pre-conditioning gently moisturizes, which leaves hair healthy and shiny. The healthy glow will prolong the life of your hair color.
- Is your hair tangled or oily? From tangles to excessive oiliness, reverse system washing shampoo and conditioners will prepare your hair for a mild cleanser that keeps hair clean without stripping hair of its gentle oils.
