Space out your shampoos: neither too much nor too little

Washing your hair is essential, but you still need to find the right balance. Washing your hair too often can unbalance your scalp. Washing your hair too frequently removes the natural protective sebum, whichdries out the hair fiberand makes the scalp more sensitive to irritation and itching.

Conversely, spacing out shampoos too far can suffocate the hair fiber, promote the accumulation of residue, and thus accelerate thehair loss. Oily roots, itching and a "heavy hair" effect can also result.

What pace should I adopt?

For oily hair: washing every two days is recommended.
For normal to dry hair: shampooing every three days is generally sufficient.

Ideally, you should use a gentle shampoo, suited to your hair type, to preserve the scalp's natural balance.

Detangle your hair carefully to avoid breakage

It's a gesture that many do mechanically:brush your hairright after showering. However, wet hair is particularly vulnerable. Soaked in water, it becomes softer, more fragile, and therefore much more likely to break.

Our tips for risk-free detangling:

Avoid brushing them when wet, or use awide-toothed combor aspecial detangling brush with flexible bristles.
Pat your hair dry with a soft towel without rubbing it, so as not to damage the hair fiber.
Never sleep with wet hair: this can cause scalp irritation, the appearance of dandruff or even the risk of eczema.

Adopting the right detangling techniques helps preserve the strength and natural beauty of your hair over the long term.

Choosing suitable care and maintaining your accessories

Another essential step for taking care of your hair every day? Using the right products, maintaining your accessories properly, and mastering the use of heating appliances. Hair needs vary depending on its nature. Using unsuitable care can cause various problems:fatty roots,brittle lengths, split ends, irritated scalp… So make sure you choose treatments that are suited to your hair type.

Don't overdo it either! Masks, oils, or serums should be used sparingly:

No more than once or twice a week for nourishing treatments.
A few drops of oil are enough, to be applied to the lengths and ends, always avoiding the roots.

Your brush or comb accumulates dust, dead hair, hair product residue, and impurities. If you don't clean them regularly, these accessories can re-deposit all this dirt back into your hair.

For good hair hygiene:

Remove hair after each use.
Wash your brush every two to three weeks with a mild shampoo.

Taking care of your hair isn't just about applying specific treatments or products. It also (and above all) involves adopting good daily habits and being vigilant about what to avoid.

By following a suitable washing schedule, gently detangling your hair, choosing appropriate care products, regularly cleaning your accessories and limiting the use of heating appliances, you are giving your hair the best conditions to remain strong, shiny and full of vitality.

It's up to you to banish these common mistakes and reveal the true beauty of your hair!
