Ever since I could wash my hair by myself, I recall scratching my scalp to get rid of the head gunk (sebum) when I washed my hair, but I thought I read somewhere that I shouldn't scratch but gently massage? Does anyone else scratch or know a reason not to? What a gross question, huh? I just want to know once and for all how to wash my hair...LOL!

I do a deep massage with my finger tips but not with my nails. My hair is oily so I skip a day of washing but by that next wash, I need to really get a deep clean!

I'd be curious to hear about this as well! Is ther a "proper" way to wash your hair?

I have heard massage over scratch as well. I sometimes have.... Leftovers, especially if I was in a rush. I am curious as well! My eczema also affects my scalp in the winter so that just makes things fun!

I've never massaged OR scratched. Maybe that makes me weird?
-
Never use your nails - just use your finger tips and massage the scalp - the greasy points are behind the ears and at your temples so wash a little extra there

@Anagram: Me neither!

@Anagram: @Cherrybee: then what do you do? just wash the ends?
