Trending hair care tips you haven't heard about yet…

When the cold season arrives, our hair’s needs change with it. Here are some tips and trends for keeping your hair healthy and manageable all season long.

The Latest Trend: Hair Cycling

Have you noticed how your go-to shampoo doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to? There’s a reason for that: your hair either adapts to the ingredients over time, or you’ve simply got used to that post-wash feel. Plus, factors like weather, stress, and diet can also change your hair’s needs.

Hair cycling involves using different shampoos for each wash rather than sticking to just one. It works in three stages, letting you keep all your favourite products in rotation. Just remember – moderation is key. Overwashing or using too many products at once can do more harm than good. The secret is to pay attention to how your hair and scalp look and feel before each wash.

Start with a deep cleanse. Your first wash should use a shampoo that removes buildup from your scalp – especially if your hair gets oily quickly, it’s wise to use gentler shampoos.

Tipp: Our Deep Cleanser works great for all hair types, offering a gentle yet effective clean while stimulating your scalp. With refreshing eucalyptus and pomegranate, it’s like a detox for your hair!

For your second wash, it’s all about moisture. Focus on nourishing those ends until they’re soft and smooth. Look for products packed with proteins and strengthening ingredients – they’re fantastic for repairing damage and improving your hair’s overall structure. Take our Hairdreams Protein Shampoo, for instance. It’s perfect for dry, stressed-out hair, though if you have an oily scalp, just apply it from mid-length to the ends. You’ll love the volume and strength it adds.

Your third wash is all about giving your hair exactly what it needs, whether that’s hydration, strength, or intensive care. Our Beauty Shampoo locks in moisture and shields your hair from environmental damage. Want an extra boost? Follow up with our pH&Shine Spray – it balances your hair’s pH while adding amazing shine.

Hair Slugging – A Rich Treatment for Your Hair

Hair slugging involves using oils or other nourishing care products that are massaged into the hair and then left to work for several hours; think of it as a spa day for your strands. Simply massage in nourishing oils or treatments and let them work their magic for a few hours. For seriously silky results, try our regeneration care: apply generously, wrap your hair in foil, and let this powerhouse treatment sink in. Then wash as usual, and you’ll be amazed at how different your hair feels. The regeneration care also works perfectly as a conditioner to seal your hair’s cuticle layer after washing.

The Most Important Part

Make sure you buy products that match your hair’s needs. A few well-matched products will always outperform a bathroom cabinet full of mismatched ones. Keep it simple: we recommend using 2-3 products per wash (shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment), plus a weekly mask. Since your hair’s needs can change, take a quick look at what it needs before each wash and choose your products accordingly. Your hair will thank you for it.

Pro Tip: While our care products are specifically designed with extensions in mind, they work beautifully on natural hair too. Just choose based on your hair’s needs. For example, our Protein Shampoo adds serious body and texture – great if you have fine hair, but maybe too much if your hair is already thick. In that case, reach for our Beauty Shampoo instead.
