There are no rules regarding how often you should wash your hair. But whether we clean our hair every day or every three days, cosmetics should vary depending on the needs of the hair at that precise moment. In this article, we will introduce you to the three steps to keep hair healthy.

Hair may need to be repaired after overindulging in overly hot styling tools, although perhaps what needs the most attention is the scalp, which needs a deep cleanse or perhaps we are following a routine to stop the shedding.

This routine focuses on using specific shampoos, conditioners, treatment and styling products that help give hair what it needs at every stage. Just like the skin, hair and scalp have different needs depending on their type and nature, their lifestyle, the season of the year and the shape, color, styling and care protocols specific to each person and each moment of their life. Each routine is developed in a very personal way, although there are some common basic principles.

Three Steps to Keeping Hair Healthy

Detoxify & Stimulate

It is important to periodically detox the scalp and hair. This step is recommended to thoroughly removeproduct residues, pollution, grease, sweat, bacteria, etc. It is also necessary to stimulate the blood supply to the scalp, drain the toxins that accumulate inside and relax the muscles so that the nutrients that pass through the blood circulation reach each hair follicle and are better nourished naturally. By introducing this step every eight or ten washes or every ten days, we will experience a significant improvement in shine, growth and vitality, not to mention that we will reduce itchingand decrease seasonal hair loss.

Hydrate

After scalp detox, the hair and scalp should receive the necessary moisturizing care to maintain their balance, elasticity, and softness. It is a basic need that we must apply periodically to maintain the health and beauty of the hair and scalp.

Nourish & Protect

It's time to provide the food, nutrients, proteins, amino acids and vitamins that will give the strength, density, resistance, vigor and protection needed for optimal hair health and a beautiful, healthy appearance from the inside out from root to tip. To achieve this, you can use nourishing hair masks, sprays, oils... It is important to check that the formulation contains natural active ingredients to nourish, such as muru muru butter, hazelnut oil or cinnamon essential oil. All of them give strength, resistance, body and density to the hair and, in turn, form a protective shield against external aggressions.

A ritual adapted to each person

It is essential to emphasize that this method is suitable for all hair types, from the smoothest to the finest, to those with tighter curls and thick fibers. Some of the benefits it offers are the reduction of inflammation, irritation, itching or reaction, by stopping the use of shampoos or other formulations that attack the skin and, consequently, the follicles.

It also keeps fibers stronger and more flexible, helps improve hair shape and volume, improves shine, and improves hair's ability to regenerate and prevent damage. To apply this method, it is important to take into account different factors that affect us, such as, for example, the season of the year in which we find ourselves, whether we have more or less hair loss or whether we are going to comb or not, since it is the one that will tell us what type of products we are going to use at any given time.

For example, at a time when we are seeing more hair loss, it is interesting to introduce products that stop hair loss, thicken it and strengthen it. If it's summer, a range of products that moisturize the hair, protect it from chlorine or protect it from sun exposure is practical.

What is a hair detox?

Products and contamination become trapped in the hair follicles and persist, even after thorough washing. Think of a hair detox as a power grab for your hair. Removes harmful substances (pollution, product build-up, excess sebum, etc.) and leaves hair clean so you can get the most out of your hair products. For best results, a hair detox should be a multi-step process.

Step-by-step detox

Cleaning

The ritual begins with the most essential step in any hair detox: cleansing. Use a gentle exfoliating cleanser to dissolve build-up and restore the scalp to a balanced, pH-regulated state of health. You can apply it to damp hair, combing from root to tip to coat each strand, then gently massage the exfoliating cleanser into the scalp before rinsing.

Conditioner

A deep clean without conditioning can leave hair dry, weak, and brittle, even more susceptible to damage. To fully revive and condition your hair, this step is crucial, and it also does good for the scalp. Used as a conditioning treatment, is massaged into the scalp on freshly washed and towel-dried hair

Activation

The third step in the scalp detox ritual is the one that is most often overlooked. A vitality massage with a leave-in treatment keeps the hair and scalp sufficiently hydrated and healthy to avoid pollutants. You can use a scalp recovery treatment. Applied to towel-towel-dried hair, the treatment not only strengthens hair strands but soothes the scalp with anti-inflammatory ingredients. So say goodbye to itching and redness.
