How to apply balm
Most girls wash their hair in this way: applying shampoo - rinsing, applying balm - rinsing. It turns out that this is the main mistake in caring for hair. Even the best balms for hair volume will not give a good result in this case. But, fortunately, to rectify the situation is very simple.
First you need to wash your hair with shampoo, then apply a small amount of balm, backing off the hair roots by 10 cm, leave it for several minutes, then rinse well with water of a comfortable temperature. Now you need to apply the shampoo again, but already exclusively on the scalp.
Do not worry that the balm will be washed off, since all the necessary substances have already managed to penetrate deep into each hair. Reuse of the shampoo will wash off the balm that could accidentally get on the scalp. Only in this case, the cosmetic product will not clog pores and weight locks. The strands will become obedient during installation, voluminous and flowing.
