9. Describe the proper way to wash your hair and care for your "hair tools."

1. Hair should be saturated with water before applying shampoo. This is more important than you might realize.

2. The amount of shampoo used should be according to the length of your hair. Long hair should use only about a tablespoon. Shorter hair, obviously less.

3. Massage scalp to loosen the dead skin cells. This is often what becomes dandruff.

4. Rinse well. We don't spend enough time rinsing the soap from our hair. Be sure to check the hair line before you go on to the next step.

5. Apply conditioner and distribute to the ends. This is the oldest and most damaged area and needs all the help it can get. Try to leave the conditioner on your hair for about a minute.
