Hair Care Routine for Healthy Hair

• Step 1: Cleansing

Before you start pouring the nice stuff and putting them in your hair, we should remind you, don’t forget the basics. Cleansing your hair is the most basic and best thing you can do to your hair. Just like we rinse our face every morning to get out all the dirt and oil, washing your hair properly will help you unclog the pores and clean the overall hair nicely.

While you have started taking care of your hair now, don’t go crazy and buy whatever you see in the stores. Get something that goes well with your hair type. Nowadays, you can find the right product for a specific hair type. We suggest JOHN MASTERS ORGANICS Lavender & Rosemary Shampoo for normal hair. Its wonderful sulfate-free formula will protect your hair from dryness and the lavender essence will leave a nice and gentle effect on your hair, while the infused rosemary will detoxify your scalp and bring some luster to the hair.

Those of us whose hair is affected by intense pollution and dirt can opt out of a deep cleansing shampoo like Shea Moisture’s Bamboo Charcoal Deep Cleansing Shampoo. This deep cleanser gently and effectively cleanses away built-up dirt and purifies your hair while bringing a healthy luster to it. It is formulated with beneficial organic ingredients such as bamboo charcoal, tea tree oil, and willow bark all of which help in calming your scalp and revitalizing damaged, dull hair. And for the record, the product is sulfate-free.

• Step 2: Conditioning

You’ve heard this many times from hair experts and read in hair care articles, nonetheless, we will tell you again - always apply conditioner to your hair after washing it.

Conditioning is a must for healthy hair. After a wash, your hair gets dry and becomes prone to frizziness. You must apply a conditioner to detangle your hair and lock the moisture in. Look for a product that has natural ingredients, especially argan oil like the Bio Balance Organic Argan Oil Conditioner contains. This after-wash conditioner not only moisturizes your hair but also repairs damages and gives protection from UV rays and styling heat.

If your hair is out in the open most of the time and sun-damaged, opt out for KERASTASE Masque Après-Soleil. This hair mask is a boon for those with sun-damaged hair. Its key ingredient is coconut water which helps to replenish UV-damaged hair; the UV filter formula in this mask absorbs UV rays and protects your hair from harmful rays.

Usually, there are two types of conditioners – rinse off, and leave-in. You can opt for either as long as it does its work and provides a healthy balance to your hair. but if you have normal or oily hair then get yourself a rinse-off conditioner, while leave-in conditioners work best for dry and frizzy hair.

• Step 3: Combing

If your hair is on the dry side of the wall, you should detangle your hair while it’s wet. The best way to detangle hair is while the conditioner is still on; use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to gently detangle the knots. To avoid hair breakage, start combing from the lower part of your hair and slowly comb through towards the root.

• Step 4: Drying

Drying your hair might sound like an easy affair, and if you are a little careful, it is a pretty easy procedure. Whether you want to blow dry or air dry your hair, you should probably get rid of the extra water from your hair with a towel. Use a soft towel such as microfiber ones that won’t cause fizziness to your hair. Don’t squeeze your hair roughly, ever. It leads to hair breakage and weak, irritated scalp. Instead, gently rub the towel through your hair without tangling the locks, and then opt out for blow dry or air dry, whatever you prefer.

• Step 5: Styling

Whether you are using a hair straightener or a curling iron, first use a heat protectant to avoid damage that often occurs while heat styling. And always remember to dry your hair properly before opting for heat styling, otherwise, these heated styling tools can damage your hair to the crisp in no time. 

Step 6: Moisturizing

Moisturizing your hair after drying or styling is essential. With regular and proper use, hair moisturizers can soften and strengthen your hair. You can moisturize your hair after drying and styling or before styling by applying a few drops of hair oil to the tips. To pamper your hair and scalp, you can use a multi-tasker hair oil such as KERASTASE Curl Manifesto Huile Sublime Repair. It repairs the hair from the root and deeply moisturizes it to the tips. This oil is especially good for those with curly, textured hair.

Weekly, or by weekly your hair needs some oil boost. Nourish and pamper your hair by deep conditioning it with some hair oil. Heat the oil a little before applying it to your scalp to make sure the oil reaches the roots easily and provides a maximum effect.

Bottom Line

Taking care of hair might sound like a Herculean task, but it really isn’t. With a proper regimen and using the right products, you can fight hair damage and maintain healthy locks like a champ. We hope the simple yet basic haircare routine above will help you get naturally perfect hair quite easily.
