5. Shampoo properly

Make sure that you shampoo your hair as well as the scalp properly. If you find that the shampoo hasn’t lather well, try one more time to remove the oils, dirt and grime.

Baby powder instantly absorbs the oils and roots are lifted up though you have to make sure that you comb your hair properly so that the white residue of powder isn’t visible especially for darker hair.
