How Do I Get the Waxy Feeling Out of My Hair?
So are these ingredients something you should completely avoid?
For this reason, Starkman recommends avoiding them altogether to optimize hair health.
The perfect example of this isconditioner.
Many people automatically apply conditioner the same way that they apply shampooall over their scalp and hair.
However, most conditioner bottles do not recommend all-over software.
Dr. Marcus says conditioner should be applied from the ears down, not directly to the scalp.
In fact, many salonsdouble-shampoohair before styling for this very reason.
Think of it as double cleansing for your scalp and hair.
This can then be compounded by not rinsing your conditioner out properly either.
“We recommend a detox one to two times a month to maintain healthy hair.”
If you need more intense cleansing regularly, consider using a clarifying shampoo once a week.
Rinse thoroughly with water and then follow with a light conditioner from the ears down.
(Do not apply conditioner directly to the scalp.)"
As recommended by Starkman, ensure to apply conditioner from the ears down.
Another tip is to rinse your hair thoroughly to ensure you’ve washed all the conditioner out.
Any lingering product that isn’t properly washed out can contribute to waxy- and oily-looking hair.
If your hair doesn’t feel clean after washing, that may be because it’s not clean.
