- Massage gently with fingertips until a rich lather forms.

- Gently run the foam through the rest of the hair without rubbing the ends harshly.
- Rinse the hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- The wash can be repeated if needed when the scalp is very oily or has visible buildup.
Usage Tips from Beauty Time:
- The Beauty Time team recommends focusing on the scalp and roots during washing, because the main purpose of the product is cleansing and caring for the scalp.
- If the scalp is very oily, use two light washes instead of applying a large amount of shampoo at once.
- Massage the scalp with fingertips only and avoid scratching with nails to prevent irritation or sensitivity.
- If your hair is long or dry, let the foam pass through the lengths while rinsing instead of rubbing the ends directly.
- To get a refreshing feeling without excessive dryness, use lukewarm water and avoid very hot water.
- If the scalp feels dry or tight, reduce frequency of use and balance the routine with a soothing or hydrating scalp product.
- After washing, a scalp tonic or serum can be used after partially drying the hair to help complete the care routine.
- To maintain light roots, avoid applying heavy oils and masks directly to the scalp after cleansing.
- If the hair is dry, use conditioner or a mask on the lengths and ends only to balance scalp cleansing with hair hydration.
- In case of persistent severe itching, inflammation, or unusual hair loss, it is preferable to have the scalp condition assessed by a specialist instead of relying on shampoo alone.
