From the moment we are born, we are bathed. Then almost every day we bathe, the hotter it gets, the more we bathe. However, few people pay attention to the safety of bathing. Washing your hair helps clean your hair and treat dandruff. Bathing helps clean the body and relax the whole body. But bathing and shampooing directly affect the organs in the body, which can cause diseases. Some people have strokes due to improper bathing.
Should you shower first or shampoo first?
Traditional health guides instruct you to bathe correctly by wetting your feet, splashing water on your chest and back, and then taking a bath. Moreover, when bathing, you should gargle and inhale deeply to prevent colds. Then shampoo and then wash.
Modern science advises bathing the body first and then shampooing. That shows that both ancient folklore and modern medicine say the same thing: bathing the body first and then shampooing. Dr. Wu Li-Fen, Deputy Head of Obstetrics, Qianwei Hospital (Cat Lam, China), said that bathing and shampooing are related to health, so if done correctly, it has a very good effect on fatigue, improving sleep, preventing diseases, caring for health, beauty, and anti-aging. But if done incorrectly, it can be dangerous. Therefore, when cleaning the body, we should start from the feet and hands, so that the body can adapt and then take a shower and finally shampoo to avoid sudden temperature changes, affecting blood circulation in the brain.
If we enter the bathroom and put shampoo on our hair and then bathe or pour water from the top down to the whole body, it will cause sudden coldness. That can increase the pressure of blood circulation in the brain and cause strokes. If you bathe in hot water when the weather is cold and shampoo from the top down, it can make the blood vessels “swell” because sudden temperature changes can rupture the vessels, causing sudden accumulation of blood, causing dangerous brain blood vessel disease. When it’s hot, we pour water from the top down, causing the body to not react to sudden changes, which is also extremely dangerous. And that is why some cases of sickness and sudden death after bathing at home occur.
How to use shampoo and conditioner correctly?
Many people put shampoo on their hair from the tips of their hair to the top of their heads, because they think shampoo is used to clean their hair and conditioner is used to the ends of the hair. That way of doing things is also wrong.
Shampoo is for shampooing your hair, so you need to rub it on the top of your head, massage your head to clean it, and then pour water. If you rub shampoo directly on your hair, it will dry out your hair.
Conditioner is used to make hair smooth and has no effect on the scalp, even harmful to the scalp because it causes oiliness. So conditioner should only be applied to the hair, not to the scalp.
