The Good Hair Routine

Haircare Academy - Hair Routines

You don't need ten different products to take good care of your hair. Start with the basics.

Your basic hair routine

1. Wash with shampoo (on the scalp) Wash when the scalp feels dirty or oily.

2. Always use conditioner Conditioner makes hair soft and prevents breakage. Use in the lengths, not too much on the scalp itself.

3. Blow-drying rather than towel-rubbing Do not rub your hair dry with a towel! Press the water out and use a blow dryer with heat protection on low to medium heat.

4. Style gently Use wax/gel, but don't pull your hair hard.

Medical treatment (Need to have)

If you are treated for hereditary hair loss:

• Minoxidil: Applied to the scalp (can be used 14 days after a transplant).
• Finasteride: Prescription pill for men. Slows down hair loss.

Nice to have

• Heat protection
• Leave-in conditioner for dry hair
• Serum (for shine)
• Hair oil (for the ends)

Start simple. Shampoo, conditioner, and heat protection are your foundation.
