caps and scarves that are too tight for the
head; using electric curlers on your hair and

While applying the medicated shampoo one should
rub the scalp, not too hard that you damage

you are shampooing your hair for the second
time it should be kept on for at least five
minutes so that the shampoo can have its effect
