01 + 02 / THE WASH

Freshness starts at the scalp.

Good wash-day technique helps keep hair and scalp clean without using extra shampoo.

01 / WASH YOUR SCALP PROPERLY

Focus on the roots

Oil, sweat, and product buildup can affect how fresh your hair smells. Apply shampoo to your scalp and massage gently with your fingertips.

02 / RINSE THOROUGHLY

Leave no residue behind

Leftover shampoo can contribute to buildup and irritation. Rinse your hair and scalp completely.

03 + 04 / BETWEEN WASHES

Protect the just-washed feeling.

The things that touch your hair—and the places you go—can change how it smells.

03 / CLEAN YOUR HAIRBRUSH

Give your brush a reset

Brushes collect oil, dust, and styling residue. Regular cleaning helps avoid transferring that buildup back onto freshly washed hair.

04 / AVOID STRONG ODORS

Watch your surroundings

Cooking fumes, smoke, and pollution can leave unwanted odors on hair. Limit exposure when practical or protect your hair in strong-smelling environments.

05 / SHAMPOO + FRAGRANCE

Pick a fragrance you love.

A shampoo with a scent you enjoy can make washing feel more satisfying. How long the scent lasts depends on several factors—not simply how much shampoo you use.
