Hair Care Basics

Great hair starts with the right foundation. These simple habits make a real difference over time.

  • Wash less, condition more: Over-washing strips natural oils. Aim for 2–3 times a week unless your hair type requires more.
  • Use cool water to rinse: Finishing with cool water seals the cuticle and adds shine.
  • Towel dry gently: Pat rather than rub to avoid breakage and frizz.
  • Detangle from the ends up: Start at the tips and work upward to minimise breakage.
  • Protect before heat: Always use a heat protectant spray before using hot tools.
  • Trim regularly: Every 8–12 weeks keeps ends healthy and hair looking its best.

Hair Type Guide

Understanding your hair type helps you choose the right products and techniques.

  • Fine hair: Use lightweight products, avoid heavy oils at the roots, and add volume with a round brush when blow drying.
  • Thick hair: Richer conditioners and leave-in treatments work well. Allow extra drying time and use a wide-tooth comb.
  • Curly hair: Moisture is key. Use a curl-specific conditioner, scrunch rather than brush, and diffuse on a low heat setting.
  • Wavy hair: Enhance natural texture with a light mousse or curl cream. Air dry where possible.
  • Colour-treated hair: Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and a weekly deep conditioning mask.

Scalp Health Guide

A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair.

  • Massage your scalp: A few minutes of gentle massage when shampooing promotes circulation and can support hair growth.
  • Don't skip conditioner: Apply from mid-lengths to ends, never directly on the scalp if your hair is fine or oily.
  • Exfoliate occasionally: A gentle scalp scrub once a month can remove buildup from products and hard water.
  • Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water directly impacts scalp and hair health.
  • Eat well: Protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids all support strong, healthy hair growth.

If you experience persistent scalp issues, seek advice from a dermatologist or trichologist.


Heat Styling Safety Guide

Hot tools used correctly can give beautiful results without long-term damage.

  • Always use a heat protectant: Apply to damp or dry hair before any heat styling.
  • Choose the right temperature: Fine or damaged hair suits 120–150°C. Thick or coarse hair can handle up to 200°C. When in doubt, go lower.
  • Don't linger: Keep tools moving rather than holding in one spot.
  • Let hair cool before touching: Allow curls or waves to set before running fingers through them.
  • Give your hair a break: Alternate heat-styled days with air-dry days when possible.

Styling Tips & Techniques

For volume

  • Blow dry upside down or use a round brush to lift at the roots.
  • Apply a volumising mousse to damp hair before drying.
  • Try dry shampoo at the roots on day-two hair for instant lift.

For smoothness

  • Use a boar bristle brush when blow drying for a sleek finish.
  • Apply a few drops of hair oil to dry hair for shine without weight.
  • Wrap hair around a large barrel straightener for a smooth, polished look.

For texture

  • Braid damp hair overnight for effortless waves in the morning.
  • Use a sea salt spray on dry hair for beachy texture.
  • Scrunch with a diffuser to enhance natural waves or curls.

Weekly Hair Care Routine

  • Day 1 — Wash day: Shampoo, deep condition, and style.
  • Day 2–3: Refresh with dry shampoo or a light mist and restyle as needed.
  • Day 4: A second gentle wash if needed, or a simple updo.
  • Day 5–7: Low-maintenance styles — braids, buns, or accessories.
  • Once a week: Apply a hair mask or deep conditioning treatment.
  • Once a month: Scalp exfoliation and a nourishing scalp oil treatment.
