There is nothing quite as satisfyingВ as getting your hair washed by a hairdresser-it's like they have magic hands. ThatВ light-as-air feeling you get after a good hair-washing isВ one thatВ makes you want to swish your mane asВ you walk out of the salon (c'mon, that's not just us!). But we want that feeling every time we wash our hair at home, so we asked L'OrГ©al Paris's U.K. ambassador Sid Hayes to spill onВ the secret art of in-salon hair-washing. Keep scrolling to find outВ how you can re-create that feeling at home and which deep-cleansing shampoos to use.

"The first thing we teach apprentices to do in the salon is how to wash hair properly," Hayes tells Byrdie."It's so important!"

You need to start at the hairline, says Hayes. "Most women wear makeup and might not cleanse their hairline properly when they wash their faces at night," he says. In fact, acne cosmetica is a condition that often occurs along the hairline and is caused by cosmetics, causing spots to form, so take note.В

"Work down the hairline to the temples and then down to the nape of the neck. We all sweat and wear collars, so cleaning this area properly is crucial."

It's key that hair is really wet and that you use enough product to get a good lather over the whole head. "Work your fingers acrossВ yourВ scalp in a figureВ of eight-motion to massage in the shampoo, and make sure to use the pads of your fingertips with a good pressure," explains Hayes. "You want to use a slightly faster pace than if you were massaging, and be sure to cover the whole scalp."

Rinse the hair, then if you have time or want a really thorough cleanse, apply more shampoo, this time using a scrubbing motion with your fingertips. "Washing your hair is all about cleansing the scalp! By really removing all the dirt and product buildup, you're allowing your scalp to breathe again."
Rinse a second time, and nowВ apply your conditioner. "Don't apply to the roots, as this will just clog up the pores on your scalp again. Condition the mid-lengths and ends, then rinse."
