Essential Steps for Building a Daily Hair Care Routine

Having a consistent, effective hair care routine is crucial for creating long-lasting results for your hair.  It’s important to find the right products for different hair types and to know the correct steps for hair maintenance so your clients can feel as confident as possible.

In this blog, we’ll give you some insight on how to advise your clients on building a daily hair care routine to leave them with healthier and shinier hair. We’ll also provide some recommendations for products clients can implement into their routines, including examples tailored to different hair types and styles.

Hair Washing

Hair care routines begin with a good hair-washing routine. Finding the right shampoo and conditioner, as well as washing techniques, can drastically influence the texture and health of the hair. It all starts with how often hair is washed; for instance, some people with especially oily hair may prefer to wash their hair every day or every other day, whereas those with dry or curly hair may wash it every few days or even once a week.

It’s generally not advisable to wash your hair every day, as it can strip back your natural hair oils and leave it feeling dry or brittle. It’s also vital to inform your clients about shampoos and conditioners that are perfect fits for their hair type.

For Curly Hair

We recommend the Everygreen Curly Shampoo and Conditioner to keep curls soft and avoid frizz.

For Dry or Damaged Hair

We recommend the O&M Hydrate & Conquer Shampoo and Conditioner which gives dry or damaged hair a boost with Vitamins A, B, C and E and organic coconut oil.

For Dyed Hair

We recommend the Every Green Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner, which has nourishing ingredients like organic apricot oil for long-lasting colour.

For Greasy Hair

We recommend the Nine Yards All In Moisture Shampoo and Just Right Moisture Conditioner, which contain moisturising features yet gently cleanses the hair for that clean and healthy feeling.

Styling and Finishing

It’s easy for your clients to leave their hair after it’s washed, but the key to a healthy hair routine lies in the products and techniques applied after washing. Hair styling and finishing products will help take your client’s hair to the next level, assisting it in lasting longer until the next wash day. This may include dry shampoos, texturizing sprays, and heat protectors, depending on how your clients style their hair.

Dry Shampoos

Dry Shampoos can serve all kinds of purposes in hair care routines. They help with styling and on-the-go touch-ups between wash days. For those with especially oily hair, investing in a dry shampoo such as the Nine Yards On the Go Dry Shampoo might help to extend the days between washes.

Texturising Spray

This can be a simple but effective way for those struggling with fine or lifeless hair to brighten up the appearance of their hair. The Nine Yards Hands-On Texturizing Spray is great for boosting volume and structure in the hair and is especially useful for creating updos and braids.

Heat Protection

If your clients frequent the hairdryer, straighteners, or curling iron, then it is essential to recommend a heat-protecting product to save their hair from unnecessary heat damage. The Cloud Nine Magical Quick Dry Potion is a revolutionary heat protectant, leaving your hair feeling stronger and healthier after applying heat.

Hair Tools

Beyond hair products, you’ll want to make sure that your clients are using hair tools that are adapted to their hair type so that they aren’t causing extra damage. This applies to both the brushes and heat tools your clients use. Regincos brushes are renowned for their quality hair brushes, which are built for men’s hair, blow-dries, and everyday detangling.

Moreover, our supply of AENO hair dryers use ionic technology to produce frizz-free, sleek styling results. In general, it is best to advise your clients to avoid using heat on their hair daily, as over time, this can cause hair breakage and damage. For those with curly hair, wide-tooth combs instead of brushes are recommended to help preserve curls and prevent tangled hair.

Weekly Treatments

Hair masks are all the rage at the moment. They offer a convenient, easy-to-apply solution to revitalise your hair. If your clients are struggling to keep their hair looking healthy and fresh once they leave the salon, then recommending a hair mask could be the best idea. They can be put on for varying lengths of time, letting you walk around the house and complete some tasks whilst the mask is working its magic. Depending on your client’s hair type, it will depend on the mask you recommend.

For All Hair Types

As a general all-rounder hair mask, the O&M seven day miracle is an award-winning treatment that can be applied weekly to soothe all hair types.

For Blonde Hair

Hair masks can help preserve hair colour and moisture, and the INNOluxe platinum mask is a perfect example. This mask uses deep blue pigments to help get rid of unwanted orange and yellow tones in your blonde clients.

For Dyed Hair

For anyone with dyed hair, it can be difficult to maintain the appearance of smooth hair. The Everygreen colour protect mask specialises in protecting dyed hair and helping that colour last for as long as possible.
