Like our body, our hair also needs a detox, to regain shine and vitality. With the arrival of fall and the change of season, it’s an opportunity to get started. Here are all the tips from Nour Tahmi, R&D development manager for the René Furterer brand.
Do you have damaged hair after spending long days on the beach and at the pool? No need to worry: to give them some pep again you can carry out a hair detox. Nour Tahmi, R&D development manager for the René Furterer brand, reveals the steps to follow.
What is a hair detox?
Our hair is alive. They need to be nourished and maintained to reveal their beauty. According to Nour Tahmi, “Hair detox is an essential ritual for revitalized hair. This comprehensive process aims to purify, nourish and restore the hair and scalp.”.
When should you do a hair detox? The best time to do it is when the hair has suffered and remains particularly damaged, despite everything you can do. Hair detox can be “particularly beneficial after periods of environmental stress, to regain healthy and revitalized hair” according to her.
First step: use a clarifying shampoo to wash and clean your hair
The first step to ensure an effective detox is to eliminate residues of styling products and pollution that accumulate on the hair. Unlike a classic shampoo, the clarifying shampoo offers deep cleansing, which allows you to start off on a healthy basis. But be careful: this type of shampoo should not be used regularly. It must be used “only occasionally to avoid drying out the hair” further indicates the expert.
Second step: apply a hair scrub to exfoliate the scalp
This second gesture helps eliminate dead cells which can cause an imbalance in the scalp. Indeed, the latter needs, like our skin, to be exfoliated. In addition, the hair scrub stimulates blood circulation and promotes better absorption of nutrients by the roots.
Third step: finish the detox with a mask, to hydrate and repair the lengths
You might think that doing a hair detox means limiting the number of products used. But that’s not the case. “Especially after deep cleansing, your hair is ready to absorb maximum benefits. A mask rich in nourishing and moisturizing agents is essential to restore their softness and elasticity” concludes Nour Tahmi.
