How to take care of your hair
- Always use one mild shampoo and as natural as possible. Don't overdo the dosages, choose products that are suitable for your hair type (fats, dry, with dandruff, etc…) If you use conditioner, leave it on for at least three minutes after shampooing.
- Don't wash your hair unnecessarily. You risk damaging the hair's hydrolipidic film, making it dry and brittle. Unless there are specific needs, one wash a week can be more than enough.
- Don't use too much hot water and finish the wash with a jet of cold water. It helps revitalize the hair and make it shinier.
- Don't rub your hair after washing and pat them gently with the towel. This will remove all the water that has accumulated.
