The first step in any haircare routine is to cleanse. Just like you cleanse your skin every evening, your hair.
Washing your hair will leave your hair and scalp feeling clean, removing any products, grease, dirt and dead skin cells which might have built up.
Cleansing tips:
Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo, which is better for your hair and scalp health in the long run.
Use your fingertips on your scalp to create a lather, rather than using your fingernails.
Don’t wash your hair too often, as this may strip the hair of its natural oils and disturb your scalp microbiome. Washing your hair every 3 to 4 days using a moisturizing shampoo is recommended.
Wash and rinse with lukewarm or cold water, as hot water can damage your hair
Step 2: Condition & nourish
The next essential step in your washing routine is to condition. Conditioning your hair helps to detangle, seal the cuticles and provide moisture
Conditioning tips:
Apply conditioner on wet hair. Squeeze out excess water, apply to the lengths of your hair and leave on for 1-2 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
Use a wide toothed comb to gently comb through your hair after applying conditioner to evenly distribute the product.
Opt for a lightweight, silicone-free conditioner
Step 3: Detangle
Detangling your hair will help eliminate knots and minimize breakage. One product that can smoothen the detangling process is a leave-in conditioner.
Detangling tips:
Detangling starts in the shower! After applying conditioner, gently comb through the lengths of your hair with your fingertips to eliminate any big knots.
Always start brushing or combing through the lower portion of your hair, working your way up to the roots.
Step 4: Protect, prime & style
Always make sure you prep your hair before using heated tools such as a blow dryer, curling tool or straightener. This will not only protect your hair from breakage but also enhance styling results and ensure that your hairstyle lasts!
Protect, prime & styling tips:
Never use heated styling tools like a curling iron or straightener on wet or damp hair. After applying a heat protectant, let your hair air dry for a couple of minutes before applying heat
When using a primer, apply a pea-sized amount - a little goes a long way!
If you want to further enhance your hair texture after styling.
Step 5: Moisturize
After styling your hair or letting it air dry, you might want to add back in a little moisture. Also on days where you’re not washing your hair, your strands may benefit from a moisture boost. This is where hair oil comes in, our favorite multitasker! Hair oils are also great for controlling frizz and preventing dryness.
Moisture tips:
When it comes to hair oil, a little goes a long way. We recommend 1-2 drops for fine hair, 2-3 for medium hair and 3-4 for thick hair.
Before applying the hair oil to your hair, warm up the product between your palms and fingers. Then, apply the product using your fingers in combing motions to distribute the product evenly.
You can also use a leave-in conditioner in between washes to give your hair that much-needed moisture boost.
Step 6: Treatment
There are three types of treatments which you can add to your weekly routine to give your hair some extra TLC: a mask treatment, oil treatment or a scalp treatment. Regular hair treatments will help tackle specific hair concerns such as damage, dryness and an oily, flaky or dry scalp, and improve the overall appearance and health of your hair.
If you experience residue or oiliness in the morning, simply wash your hair. To tackle recurring irritation, use twice a week. Move towards weekly application when scalp concerns subside. Use twice a month to prevent irritation, itching, flaking and improve overall hair health.
Oil Treatment: Section your hair into 2 sections, then take 1 full syringe of the Honey Infused Hair Oil for each section and fully coat hair. Braid hair and let it absorb for a few hours or overnight. If the product isn’t fully absorbed, then give hair a light rinse or cleanse. Treatment Mask: Apply a generous amount of the Honey Infused Hair Mask to damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends. Leave on for 5-7 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
For a more nourishing treatment, apply to damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends. Leave in overnight, then wash your hair the next morning. Repeat twice a week for optimal repair and restoration.
Scalp Treatment: Apply small increments of scalp treatment directly onto scalp in 1” (3cm) sections from the hairline to the crown. Gently massage in with fingertips for 5 minutes to distribute and allow the active ingredients to absorb. Leave on overnight. Do not rinse.
