Finally, if we want to get the most our of our products and to prevent further damage, it’s important to remember the golden haircare rules.
BE EXTRA GENTLE ON WET HAIR. Hair is more fragile when wet so avoid brushing or towel drying as this can be rough on it. Instead we recommend using a hair wrap such as Aquis Hair Turban.
STOP THE DAILY WASHING. Washing your hair everyday strips the hair of its natural oils, essential for glossy lustrous locks. Instead try to wash every 2, 3 or even 4 days. Using a dry shampoo can help lift greasy roots and extend the time between washes.
DITCH THE HEAT. While we love our hair tools, simple acts like minimising the amount of times we use them, using a heat protection spray and just turning down the heating setting can make all the difference.
