Do you have damaged, dry hair, split ends, a persistent straw effect despite the many moisturizing treatments you do? Conversely, your hair is dull and greasy the day after your shampoo?
If you use conventional care sold in the supermarket, it's normal.
I myself had for a long time a straw effect as I applied a mask after each wash hair. I even did oil baths once a week.
It served no purpose, other than wasting my time, money, and patience. I even came to think that I had a problem.
In the end, the problem came from the treatments I was using:they contained chemicals that were drying out my hair. They even ended up weakening my scalp which regularly itched.
I am talking to you here about treatments that you find in all the cosmetic departments of large surfaces. They may be the same ones you are using right now.
What changed the game for me:

First rule to have beautiful hair:we sort in our bathroom and we swap our conventional and chemical hair care for natural and raw products. Exit sulphates and silicones , hello vegetable oils and natural active ingredients!
For shampoos, opt for a mild cleansing product , adapted to our hair type:rebalancing and purifying for oily hair, nourishing for dry hair and moisturizing for normal hair. We also take the opportunity to massage our scalp for a few minutes to stimulate blood circulation, accelerate hair growth and facilitate the penetration of active ingredients, just like at the hairdresser! And if you feel like it, you can opt for a solid shampoo:more ecological and more economical!
Here are our favorite mild shampoos:
Every day ? Once a week ? We often ask ourselves the question of how often we should wash our hair . In fact, the answer is not universal and will depend on the nature of your hair. If they are oily, shampoo every other day is recommended. If they are rather dry, once a week will be a good compromise to avoid drying them out even more. Normal hair will benefit from shampooing two to three times a week. The rhythm is the same when using a solid shampoo.
Washing oily hair every day is indeed a serious mistake:the more your hair is washed, the more it will tend to be greasy in response to these attacks. So it's a vicious circle...
If the choice of shampoo and its frequency of use are important to take care of your hair naturally, the conditioner or the mask will be the key to a successful hair routine!
In addition to facilitating the detangling and styling of hair once dry, the conditioner provides the scalp with everything it needs and takes care of the ends to limit the appearance of split ends. It also protects the lengths from the heat of the hair dryer when brushing.
The mask will deeply nourish your hair. Adapt the exposure time according to the condition of your hair, from 15 minutes to overnight if it is very damaged.
Here are our favorite conditioners and masks:
To take care of your hair naturally , the oil bath is a must! It is indeed the ideal treatment to use in case of dry, damaged or devitalized hair. It consists of coating the hair with one or more vegetable oils, enriched or not with other active ingredients such as aloe vera gel or specific essential oils. Like a mask, apply it from roots to ends if you have very dry hair and scalp (don't forget the top of the head) or only on the ends if this is not the case. Then cover your scalp with a hot towel and leave the oil bath for 1 hour minimum to overnight for the most damaged hair.
If you have oily hair, don't panic! Contrary to popular belief, the oil will not make your hair more greasy, but on the contrary rebalance sebum production and purify the scalp . Among the ideal vegetable oils to use for the hair, we recommend coconut oil, jojoba oil, castor oil or argan oil. The oil bath can be done once or twice a month, or even more, especially in summer when our hair is more exposed to the sun, chlorine or seawater.
Our favorite vegetable oils (and those we recommend):
To have beautiful hair , two elements are necessary:nourishing, but also moisturizing active ingredients!
Include a moisturizer in her hair routine will help protect the hair from external aggressions throughout the day. It will also help to seal in the hydration when you then apply a nourishing care such as vegetable oil. Moisturizing the ends is essential, especially when you have dry hair, curly or frizzy hair.
Among the natural moisturizing active ingredients , we advise you to opt for aloe vera gel, linen gel or honey.
To protect our hair friction and the external environment such as wind, cold or sudden changes in temperature in winter, we opt for protective hairstyles!
They will help protect the lengths from drying out and limit the formation of split ends. Among the protective hairstyles, we can cite the bun, braids, ponytails or even the kardoune, ideal for taming the hair without using a straightener!
In winter, the hair tends to be more dry and brittle. It is necessary to adopt good habits so that they are not too weakened by the cold and that they remain in good health.
First of all, be careful not to abuse heated appliances (hair dryer, straighteners...), we tend to use them more frequently than in summer and it's not for the best. Also remember to moisturize your hair well to prevent it from becoming too dry during this period. Finally, limit the wearing of a hat, the friction with your hair weakens it.
Is your hair already very dry and damaged? Here are some tips to help you revive them:
You can absolutely opt for a solid shampoo in your dry hair routine, although devoid of water, they are enriched with moisturizing agents.
Having healthy hair now is good, but keeping it as beautiful over the long term is better! In addition to a new regular haircut at the hairdresser, discover our advice according to your hair type.
Detangling is often the enemy of long hair! That's why we advise you to apply a conditioner that will make this step easier. When you have long hair, you tend to rub your hair with the towel to absorb excess water, which weakens it even more. Wrap your hair in your towel instead (preferably microfiber) and gently dab your lengths.
Also remember to brush your hair morning and evening to make your hair healthier (brushing removes sebum) and more supple.
Curly hair is often dry. Curls prevent sebum from flowing normally along the hair, which is therefore not hydrated properly.
If you have curly hair, opt for moisturizers. Once the traditional mild shampoo has been applied, use a detangling conditioner. You can then brush your hair (using a brush or a wooden comb) more easily and without breaking it.
Finally, to define your curls and keep your hair hydrated, we advise you to apply a leave-in conditioner afterwards.
We suggest the following routine:Perfect Clean or Première Mousse shampoo, Pink Paradise conditioner, Repair Time moisturizing mask, Kurl Nectar leave-in treatment and then Boost Curl hair jelly.
If you use conventional products and want to switch to natural care , we also advise you to do a detox with the Tropical Detox to rid your scalp of all the chemical substances of your old products.
Colored hair is easily brittle and damaged:repeated coloring ends up making straw. First tip:switch to vegetable coloring! It is much less aggressive than chemical coloring.
Maintain your colored hair with suitable care so that the color does not fade too quickly and remember to moisturize it well to deal with coloring. You can opt for masks or oil baths.
Being a man doesn't prevent you from taking care of your pretty hair and having a well-defined beauty routine! Gentlemen, adopt organic cosmetics and the right gestures! Regular shampoos, conditioners, hair masks will keep your hair well hydrated. We also advise you to opt for styling treatments (wax, gel, etc.) without chemical substances.
By applying these few tips between two appointments at the hairdresser, you should keep your hair healthy!
