Perfect Hair Care Routine
Violet Mcdow
The first step in any haircare routine is to cleanse. Just like you cleanse your skin every evening, your hair also benefits from a cleanse - perhaps not daily, depending on how dry your hair and scalp is and how many products you use which can cause build-up.
The next essential step in your washing routine is to condition. Conditioning your hair helps to detangle, seal the cuticles and provide moisture. It replenishes the moisture that your shampoo may have removed, and it will help remove any knots or tangles that were caused by massaging your shampoo onto your hair and scalp.
Detangling your hair will help eliminate knots and minimize breakage. One product that can smoothen the detangling process is a leave-in conditioner, like our Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner. This will help smooth your locks, preparing them for detangling with a brush or wide-tooth comb. You can also opt for a hair oil or serum before detangling.
The Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner can be applied to both dry or towel-dried hair. Spray the product from an arm's length distance onto the mid-lengths of your hair down to the ends, combing through to ensure it is evenly dispersed.
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!
Use a lightweight styling primer, like the Propolis Infused Polishing Primer, to prepare your hair for your styling routine. Not only will it help prevent frizz, but it also reduces drying time, enhances hair texture and ensures optimal workable hold while using heated styling tools.
Our Honey Infused Hair Oil is infused with Mirsalehi Honey, which helps to attract and retain moisture. With regular usage, your hair will become softer, stronger and healthier overall. You can apply it on damp hair, dry hair, in the morning or before going to bed.
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.
Conditioning: Always follow cleansing your hair with conditioner to restore the moisture that shampooing strips away. For finer-haired folks, Santiago recommends applying conditioner from the ends to the tips of your hair, avoiding the roots where things can get greasy. For thicker hair, a good deep conditioner is a must. For people in that baseline category, pile on or scale back the conditioner based on how thirsty your hair gets.
The texture of your hair should dictate your hair routine more than anything else. But there are still some habits that everyone, regardless of their hair type, should steer clear of. Obviously, no one is perfect, so no shame if these habits make an appearance in your own hair-care routine pretty often. These are just some general guidelines and tips for healthy hair.
On days when you skip the shower, dry shampoo is your best friend. This product helps keep the oiliness at bay. Spritz just enough product on your roots to soak up the oil. Avoid overusing dry shampoo, especially if it contains alcohol because it can dry out your hair.
If you have dry hair or if you like to style and dye your hair often, we recommend using a leave-in conditioner on days when you wash your hair. This product will not only moisturize your tresses, but it will also make your hair look shinier and, thus, healthier.
Leave-in conditioner is best applied on damp hair and before using heat-styling tools. Keep the product away from your roots, though. Apply it only on the strands to keep your scalp clean and oil-free.
After applying your leave-in conditioner but before using your styling tools, coat your hair strands with some heat protectant. Heat protectants act as a protective barrier between your hair and the hot styling tool. This prevents the strands from drying out, getting fried, and becoming dull.
Use an ionic hair dryer instead of a regular one. This wet-to-dry hair styler is perfect for damage-prone tresses. It evaporates water droplets faster, so your hair dries much quicker. Your hair is exposed to less heat, reducing the likelihood for damage.
This daily routine should hydrate and nourish your hair, preventing damage and frizz and making it look healthier. For an added boost, you can add a step or two to your weekly routine to give your hair some extra TLC.
Just like with your skincare routine, you have to be diligent with your hair care regimen. Supplement your hair care routine with healthy habits, like getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet. This way, your hair is nourished from the inside out, achieving maximum shine and hydration.

The ingredients are clean and the products are so perfectly curated to only do nothing but good things for your hair. My hair loves this mask. I leave it on for a few minutes and oh my goodness, after rinsing, my hair feels like butter.
This 3 pack system is great. My favourite is Moisture - my hair feels so healthy after. The Nurture is like butter, and makes hair shiny and soft. Repair is also good, but if I would buy a single jar it would be the Moisture.
Highly recommend these products. Smell is natural. I am obsessed. This also works well with color treated hair :)
My hair is at the peak of its health, shine and softness. My hair is thick and curly 3A hair. Now, my hair texture has changed completely to silky, soft, and visibly shinier. My curls are defining themselves in a way I had never seen before.
This routine is amazing! My scalp now feels balanced, my hair feels soft and light, like it did when I was a child; and my waves have returned. It's almost like I didn't know that my hair wasn't my natural hair until this routine.
Choose your shampoo and conditioner based on your needs. There are so many products available that treat everything from dry to dyed hair. In all cases look for nurturing ingredients and avoid sulphates.
So, the basics of your hair care wash routine: Depending on your hair type, two to three times a week. Use conditioner and concentrate on the mid to ends of your hair. Turn down the tap, rinse thoroughly and adjust your schedule as needed depending on your activities or product use.
Hair masks and conditioning treatments are also great options, especially for those with chemically treated or dry hair. Professional conditioning treatments can be done at your salon once a month, or if you prefer DIY, make your own hair mask at home. Depending on your needs, a hair mask can be done once a week.
It takes me 24 hours to do my hair because the routine is not just a quick shampoo and conditioner. The process involves a pre-wash, detangling, shampoo, a vinegar-rinse, a deep conditioner, the LOC method, as well as a night-time hair routine.
My hair tangles easily and dries out because it is very porous. To combat this, I have to condition my hair before I shampoo. I keep my hair in the 4 sections during this step. I use a silicone-free conditioner and then comb out any tangles with my tangle-teaser brush. Then, I rinse my hair out using hot/warm water.
I shampoo my hair after the conditioner, but only on my scalp. I first dilute my shampoo with water and then only apply the shampoo mixture to my scalp and scrub it in. Then, I rinse with hot/warm water.
The vinegar-rinse is something new that I have recently added to my hair regimen. It removes buildup as well as balances the pH in the hair to help create shine. With my hair still in the 4 sections, I squeeze the bottle onto my scalp all the way to the ends of my hair. I scrub the scalp and comb the rest under water. After rinsing with warm water, my hair is ready for the deep conditioner.
Jackie, could you share the after shower creams you have had the most success with? Also is your cut layered? We have similar hair so very curious! I found you through Pinterest searching for plant care. Your blog has a beautiful look!

While we all have worked hard to build the shampoo and conditioning routine that suits our scalp and hair best, we often forget about the potential impact of a pre-shower routine. A pre-shower routine can have several benefits, but a few of the main ones I have noticed with my hair are protecting my hair before the shampoo and conditioning ritual, adding moisture back to my hair (especially if you have dry ends), increase blood flow, and balancing the overall appearance of my locks. Keep reading for a few of my essential steps before washing my hair.
This might be my favorite step. While the serum is still in my hair, I take the scalp massager and gently massage my scalp with medium pressure. Not only does it provide a calming and relaxing massage experience, but it also promotes circulation to the scalp.
