Lockdown, teleworking, stress and, nevertheless, a silky, beautiful and well-kept hair. Does this sound like an impossible mission?
When it comes to hair health, it is important to follow a solid strand care routine that helps prevent and repair certain damages, giving your hair a naturally healthier look in the long run.
8 TIPS TO TAKE CARE
OF YOUR HAIR AT HOME
Rejuvenate your hair from the inside out with our tips and set your own hair care routine. Find out that it is possible to have beautiful and healthy hair, even at home.
1. WASH YOUR SCALP CAREFULLY
Lather the shampoo with a little water before massaging the hair and scalp in a circular motion. Make sure you don't scratch your scalp with your nails.
2. AVOID HOT WATER
High water temperature when washing the scalp removes the hair’s protective layer. Wash with warm water and finish with a jet of cold water for shine.
3. EXFOLIATE THE SCALP
Exfoliate your scalp at home to remove dead cells and promote hair renewal.
4. USE COTTON TOWELS
Always prefer natural fabric towels to synthetic ones when wrapping your hair after washing.
5. GO FOR NUTRITION
If you have split ends, hair that is dry and brittle, or exposed to thermal or colouring aggressions, strand nutrition is the kick-off for recovery, leaving your strands more silky, light and shiny.
Go for high moisturizing ingredients, such as argan and marigold oil. Use a serum that cares for and protects your hair, ensuring a soft touch and a healthy shine – the ideal complement to your daily routine and other hair treatments.
6. USE PROPER BRUSHES AND COMBS
Use a comb that suits your hair type. Choose models with mixed bristles or natural bristles that do little damage to the strands.
7. MINIMIZE THE USE OF DRYERS AND STRAIGHTENERS
Apply a heat protector on your hair before use, and only use these heat accessories once a week.
8. FOLLOW A HEALTHY DIET
Eat eggs, meat and fish. They are sources of protein, which is important for your hair.
In short, even if you take great care to keep your hair healthy and hydrated, it can still look unkempt for weeks or months. In these cases, the ideal solution will be to perform a hair diagnosis with a professional, to assess your hair’s real needs.
