Restorative hair treatments for home

Late-summer concern: dry hair

Sun, salt water and chlorine draw moisture from your hair. Without enough moisture and protein, hair loses its bounce and becomes harder to style. To gauge how elastic your hair is after a holiday in the sun, gently stretch a wet strand and let it spring back. If it returns to its original shape, your hair is healthy. If it no longer springs back easily, that can be a sign the hair is dry. A hydrating shampoo and conditioner are essential for caring for moisture-deprived hair. Used twice a week, a nourishing hair mask can reach deep into the inner layers of the hair and replenish it with moisture and protein.

The solution: Treatment Mask
The Fine to Medium Hair Treatment Masque by OUAI contains shea butter, panthenol and hydrolysed keratin, and is ideal for restoring the hair. Massage the cream into the ends of your hair, then wrap a towel over the applied mask. Leave it in a little longer than the recommended time. The warmth helps the mask work even more effectively.

Late-summer concern: faded hair colour

The sun can have a considerable effect on the colour of your hair, particularly if it is dyed. UV rays break down the colour pigments in the hair, which can lead to fading and unwanted tones. This often results in a washed-out, dull colour that is no longer as vibrant as it once was. Chlorine and salt water can also contribute to discolouration and dryness. One effective way to refresh your colour is to use Shampoo for Beautiful Color by Oribe. This shampoo is specially formulated to protect and preserve coloured hair.

The solution: a colour-preserving treatment
For a more intensive treatment, choose a hair mask that not only refreshes the colour but also nourishes the hair deeply. A weekly mask with antioxidants can repair the hair’s cuticles and restore a beautiful shine. Masque for Beautiful Color contains the Oribe Signature Complex, rich in antioxidants and natural keratin. The mask helps to strengthen and refresh the colour while also providing intensive hydration.

Late-summer concern: dull hair

Has the shine gone out of your hair? Ease off on colouring for a while and treat it once a week with a hair oil to bring back some vitality. In the evening, apply an argan, jojoba, castor or coconut oil to the ends and let it absorb like a mask before rinsing it out. You can also use a hair oil as a serum, applying it to the ends as the first step in your styling routine. It reduces dullness and gives the hair immediate shine.

The solution: shine in an instant
The ergonomic handle and balanced weight of Oribe’s Flat Brush make for a pleasant brushing experience when you want to stimulate the scalp and polish the hair. The brush combines nylon and boar bristles set in a soft cushion of natural rubber.

Late-summer concern: split ends

One of the most common causes of split ends is exposure to the sun. UV radiation dries out the surface of the hair, weakening it and damaging the cuticles. These small cracks in the cuticles leave the hair looking dull and damaged. To repair and smooth down the cuticles, it is best to rinse out your care products with cold water, which helps the cuticles to close.

The solution: comb gently
If you comb or brush your hair after washing, it is best to spray it first with the Detangling Toning Mist with Velvet Oud by Philip B. This light leave-in spray neutralises the harsh pH of tap water and detangles the hair. The toner also closes the cuticles, giving a remarkable shine. Start at the bottom and work slowly upwards to help prevent breakage.

Late-summer concern: hair loss

Experiencing hair loss or thinning hair? Give your scalp extra care and treat yourself to a scalp massage while washing. It stimulates blood circulation and, in turn, hair growth. Pair this with a shampoo, conditioner or serum that encourages hair growth, such as a thickening shampoo or a hair-growth serum.

The solution: encourage hair growth
The Calecim Professional Advanced Hair System Kit is an at-home treatment with a serum and a scalp stamp to encourage hair growth. Based on advanced biotechnology, the serum delivers signals to dormant follicles, so that sluggish cells are revitalised and hair follicles are strengthened to encourage new growth. The formula draws on cellular energy and PTT-6® to encourage hair growth and help counter hair loss.
