How to enhance and nourish your hair
Does your hair tangle very easily, lack shine or feel rough and brittle? These are all signs that your hair needs nourishing. Several factors can cause dull and dry hair, like a natural lack of sebum secretion – leading to a naturally dry and sensitive scalp – or exposure to chemical, mechanical or heat stress like repeated colour treatments, excessive use of hot styling tools, or even dust, the wind and friction. The result: the scales of the cuticle lift up and the hair loses its elasticity and natural beauty.

Good habits for enhancing and nourishing hair
Brush your hair daily
Brushing your hair is the ideal way to get rid of all the impurities and pollution particles that build up on your hair every day. Brushing your hair daily pulls the scalp’s natural sebum down to the lengths, which helps protect the hair and close its cuticle, leaving your hair looking glossier. Make sure to use an expert brush (link to The Brush Radiance & Softness) to gently detangle your hair. Make sure to use an expert brush to gently detangle your hair.
Use expert products to treat any issues
To regain supple, silky, shiny hair, provide the nutrition and protection it needs with an expert hair care routine tailored to your hair type and requirements.
Dry hair
Is your hair naturally dry and dull? Every time you wash your hair, use a shampoo for dry to very-dry hair followed by a nourishing hair mask to penetrate the hair fibre and revitalise your hair from the inside out.
Rough and brittle hair
If your lengths feel rough and you have split ends, apply a pre-shampoo restructuring balm once a week to deeply nourish, repair and restructure hair. Before heat styling/drying, consider using a heat protection cream or lotion: not only will these products protect your hair fibres, they will also help to strengthen and restore dry or damaged hair.
Wavy or curly hair
Textured hair is naturally drier. To help nourish and define it, apply a gel, if your hair is wavy, or a cream, if your hair is curly, to wet or damp hair. This will instantly define your curls and leave them silky-soft, bouncy and frizz-free.
Drink enough water
Like the skin, the scalp is made up of different layers of cells. A lack of water may dehydrate them, which leads to an irritated and itchy scalp.

The essential nutrition ritual
Nourishing daily haircare
If your hair needs nourishing, use a specifically tailored haircare routine. Opt for a nourishing shampoo to gently cleanse the scalp and strengthen your hair. Then apply a nourishing conditioning mask to instantly repair and nourish dry to very dry hair, for a supple, shiny finish. Spread a small amount of product over the lengths of your hair, leave on for five minutes, then detangle with a comb before rinsing. After drying (or leaving to dry naturally), apply a few drops of hair oil, which will help nourish the hair, leaving it soft and shiny.

Haircare that restores and restructures
Pre-shampoo products are particularly effective for deeply nourishing and repairing the hair. Once a week, before washing your hair with a gentle nourishing shampoo, apply a pre-shampoo balm to restore, restructure and nourish damaged, dehydrated and brittle hair. Spread the balm over the lengths and ends and particularly on any brittle areas. Leave on for 30 minutes or overnight for a more intense treatment. Then shampoo. After rinsing, spread a small amount of Regenerating Haircare Mask through the lengths of your hair, instantly transforming it for a supple, shiny finish. If you heat style your hair, apply a heat protection product, like a blow-dry or straightening cream, to damp or dry hair. Lastly, finish with a few drops of haircare oil for softness and shine.

Products to nourish and define textured hair
By its very nature, wavy, curly and coily hair may be in need of nourishment. To restore its shine, nourish, define and prevent frizz, start by gently cleansing with a nourishing shampoo. Next, apply a conditioning mask to intensely nourish hair, rinse off, and then spread your curl care product all over wet or damp hair. Use a jelly if your hair is wavy, or a cream if your hair is curly to tightly curled. Scrunch your curls to define them, working from the ends upwards, then leave to air-dry or use a diffuser. Apply a few drops of oil and scrunch into your curls to leave your hair even glossier and more nourished.

Any questions?
Why is my hair dry?
Dry hair is deficient in sebum, whose role is to nourish the scalp. When it stops doing its job, the hair loses elasticity and becomes dry and brittle. It is left more vulnerable and splits more easily. The scales of the cuticle lift up, leaving the hair duller. This lack of sebum is often hereditary and is particularly the case for curly hair. However other factors may be behind the dry hair. Atmospheric causes like the sun, seawater and swimming pool water may be to blame. Daily hair styling may also dry out the hair, e.g. such as colouring hair too frequently, ill-suited haircare products, or using a hairdryer or straighteners on too hot a setting.
What is dry hair like?
Dry hair looks dull. It is generally fragile, not very elastic and quite brittle. It has split ends and is rough to the touch.
If my hair is curly or coily, does that mean it must be dry?
Some hair types are naturally dry, which is the case for curly, coily and kinky hair. The reason? Keratin is the protein that gives hair its structure by forming the scales of the cuticle, which determine the hair type. When the scales are tightly packed together, they give straight hair, but if they are further apart, they give coily or kinky hair and make hair dry. But keratin isn’t the only factor involved; lack of sebum is also responsible for hair dryness. The more curl hair has, the less able sebum is to spread uniformly from the root to the end.
How do I stop my hair from drying out?
Here are a few tips that will help you take care of your dry hair and transform it into glossy, healthy hair.
Go longer between washes. In the long term, washing your hair too frequently leads to a weaker scalp and scales and fosters hair dryness. To properly care for dry hair, top up on essential fatty acids, lipids and proteins. You can find them in shampoos and hair care products enriched with botanical oils (argan, sweet almond, jojoba) and shea butter, which are ideal for nourishing, strengthening and softening hair.
Dry your hair naturally. Air-drying is the best way to dry, dry hair. If you use hot styling tools – e.g. a hairdryer, straighteners or curling irons – make sure you apply a heat protection product (link to CREAM 230) beforehand and add a few drops of hair oil after blow-drying to leave the lengths shiny and protect the ends.
Avoid aggressive colour treatments. If your hair is already dry, frequent colour or bleach treatments may weaken your scalp and dry out your hair fibres even more.
Protect your hair from external aggressors. To counteract the harmful effects of the sun, seawater and swimming pool water, take care of your lengths with a protective anti-UV product (link to PROTECTIVE HAIR FLUID) and wear an accessory on your head, like a scarf or a hat.
