How often to wash your hair?
It depends on your hair type and lifestyle:
- Oily hair: Daily or every other day
- Normal hair: 2-3x a week
- Dry hair: 1-2x a week
Too frequent washing can paradoxically increase the production of sebum.
Choosing the right shampoo
Invest in a good sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates foam well, but they dry out hair and skin.
According to hair type
- Oily: Shampoo for frequent washing, mattifying
- Dry: Hydrating shampoo
- Gentle: Volume shampoo
- Normal: Balanced shampoo
Conditioner – yes or no?
Yes! Conditioner is not just for women. Nourishes hair, facilitates detangling and protects against damage. Apply it only to the lengths, not the roots.
Correct washing technique
- Wet the hair with lukewarm water
- Lather the shampoo in the palms
- Massage the scalp (not the hair) with the tips of the fingers
- Rinse thoroughly
- Apply the conditioner to the lengths
- Rinse with cold water for shine
Drying the hair
Ideally let the hair dry naturally. If you use a hair dryer:
- Do not use the highest temperature
- Hold the hair dryer at least 15 cm from the hair
- Blow in the direction of hair growth
Regular trimming
Even if you want to let your hair grow, regular trimming of the ends is essential for a healthy look. We recommend a visit every 4-6 weeks.
