At-Home Hair Care Routine: 10 Golden Rules From Experts
The professional routine to keep your hair salon-fresh after you leave the chair.
The way to keep the shine and fullness of a fresh salon visit at home is a correct routine. Ten golden rules from our specialists.
1. The Right Shampoo
Choose a sulphate-free shampoo suited to your hair type. Focus on lathering once, well — not twice.
2. Conditioner Application
Apply conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends; never at the roots. Waiting 2-3 minutes makes a real difference.
3. Weekly Deep Treatment
Use a keratin- or argan-oil rich deep-care mask once a week on damp hair for 20 minutes.
4. Heat Protection
Always apply a heat protectant before blow-drying, straightening or curling. Do not exceed 200°C.
5. Trim the Ends
A trim every 6-8 weeks stops split ends from travelling up the strand.
6. Skip the Hot Water
Use lukewarm water for washes and a cold rinse to seal the cuticle for shine.
7. T-Shirt Instead of Towel
Towels create static. Use a cotton T-shirt or microfibre towel.
8. Silk Pillowcase
A silk pillowcase reduces friction, prevents breakage and protects curls.
9. Nutrition
A diet rich in biotin, zinc and omega-3 nourishes hair from within.
10. Two Professional Treatments a Year
Two professional deep treatments per year (keratin, botox, protein therapy) ensure long-term hair health.
