It’s the most straightforward hair growth hack no one talks about. At least, nobody I know.
When we look around at our society, it’s no surprise that the hair industry is booming with supplements, hair growth promises, and Rapunzel dreams. 

I feel like it can be a little too much. We are trying to stimulate our scalps, not our anxiety. I think most of us already get plenty of external stimulation in our day-to-day lives.

When we constantly look at the bigger picture of what everyone says we “must have” to achieve certain results, we often miss the smaller picture in front of us. When we pay attention, the smaller picture can tell us a lot.

We do this bigger-picture stuff a lot regarding things like our hair. For example, assuming that if we don’t have the most expensive and up-to-date hair products or hair care routines, there is no hope for our dry, brittle, never-growing hair to look like the hair we see on TV.

Well, I have news for you. One method has shown me results personally, and I never had to spend a dime on it.

The Double Wash Method

Let me introduce you to the double-wash method. 

If you’ve heard of this simple method before, congratulations!

This method is straightforward (smaller-picture thinking), yet I didn’t hear about it or start doing it until about a year ago, and I have no idea why. I should have started the day I was born!

The double Wash is just that. You wash your hair twice every time you take a shower.

First Wash

The first Wash is essentially for removing all the dirt and oil build-up on your hair.

It’s as simple as that.

Second Wash (the magical part)

The second Wash is when your hair will benefit from the shampoo and conditioner you use—a hair mask or anything else!

Doesn’t it just make sense that we would want our possibly overpriced shampoo/conditioner/hair mask to actually reach the cortex of our hair (the inner layer), providing our hair with any and all benefits the product offers?

If we haven’t been washing our hair at least twice in the shower, chances are we are not reaping the full benefit of whichever product we are using.

Because that hair dirt and oil build-up sure is not reaping the benefits of coconut oil.

“Dirty Hair Doesn’t Care!”

More Conditioner?

Yes. Typically, you use more shampoo when you wash your hair twice with every shower.

However, you can still use less shampoo than double by splitting your normal amount into two. 
Half for the first Wash, half for the second (if you’re really worried about it). Then, the only thing you have to worry about is possibly running out of shampoo before you use conditioner, which happens to me quite often. 

It’s a small price to pay for my hair to be healthier and grow twice as fast.

The Concept Just Makes Sense

I am definitely one of those people. I am very stubborn. I need to get it wrong myself to understand why it’s wrong. 

I don’t recommend this vibe.

Mind you, everyone has different hair types and needs. But this method makes sense if you consider the concepts and internal hair structure.

The little things like washing our hair twice led me to create this website, RankingYouHealthy.

I write about the “smaller pictures” that often get overlooked, which can really make a difference in our lives. I write this post in hopes that someone who didn’t know about the double wash method starts doing it and sees amazing results just like I have.

We ALL deserve the best hair days. 

Sincerely, the girl that will never only wash once.

For those of us with frizzy hair, stay tuned for my upcoming blog about plastic hairbrushes. 

That brush might end up in the trash after this one.
