Zero scalp worries. Changing your shampoo can change your life

Just by changing your innerwear, your winter skin and your life can change

The other day, I wrote an article like this.

When I switched my winter innerwear from standard synthetic materials to 100% merino wool, my skin stress was significantly reduced.

Things like scratching my skin until it was damaged while sleeping, or developing dark spots.

Every single year, such skin troubles were normal, but this year my skin is in very good condition.

Saying that changing your innerwear can change your life is not necessarily an exaggeration.

Your scalp can also change drastically depending on how you shampoo

Furthermore, my scalp has been in excellent condition lately as well.

Even though it is the same skin, it is of course not thanks to the innerwear.

It is because I changed the way I shampoo.

What I realized after switching from water-only shampooing to 'small-shampooing'

Last year, I tried water-only shampooing.

Water-only shampooing means washing your hair with only hot water.

However, the time I started was in the summer.

As expected, using only hot water during the season when sebum secretion is at its peak has its limits.

I switched from water-only shampooing to 'small-shampooing' (using a small amount of shampoo).

Since then, I have continued with small-shampooing.

The most important thing is "not to wash too much"

Until now, I have been troubled by scalp dandruff and itching every winter.

Could this have been caused by washing my hair too much?

I realized this after reading the following article.

The doctor in this article says "shampoo itself should be used about once every 2 to 3 days," but I shampoo every day. However, I use a small amount. I wash by lathering well with less than 1/4 of a pump.

Almost zero scalp trouble with "mini-shampooing"

Since I started washing my hair using a small amount of shampoo, my scalp troubles have become almost zero. Really. Almost zero. It's a surprise!

I don't do anything else in particular. I only use treatment after swimming.

It's November now, and the humidity has been below 40% for days, but I have no scalp trouble.

First, practice "not washing too much" little by little

Because mini-shampooing is so effective, I think "not washing too much" is the best thing for the skin.

Skin troubles improved with mini-shampooing. It costs nothing as you don't need shampoo or other hair washing products. Plus, it's environmentally friendly. It's killing three birds with one stone.

I tried switching from regular shampoo to just hot water before, but changing too drastically all at once is quite stressful. The refreshing feeling after shampooing is zero, or rather, it's negative.

Depending on each person's skin condition, if you are having scalp troubles, why not try reducing your shampoo little by little?

Instead of adding things like buying expensive shampoo or taking supplements, you might find improvement by subtracting from your current routine.
