Does a January hair detox sound like a good idea? We think so. Mid-winter is a good time for clients to consider detoxing their hair. Over-styling during the festive season and the drying effects of winter weather may have caused serious moisture loss.
January hair detox
Sabrina Dijkman, stylist and Alterna ambassador, says a January detox is the answer for combatting dryness and removing product build-up. Below, she shares product picks and care tips you can share with clients to help give their hair some much-needed TCL.
Tips from Sabrina Dijkman
- Use a scalp scrub – healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp and it’s so important to advise clients that they must look after their scalp too to help promote hair growth, get rid of product build up and to deeply cleanse their hair
- Use moisturising products – Shampoo, Conditioner, Masks/treatments and care products with moisturising ingredients are essential for hydrating hair and ensuring it’s soft, silky and frizz-free
- Change to silk – Ditch the cotton towels and pillowcases and switch to silk/satin. These are gentler on the hair, so they help reduce frizz and breakage. Clients may even want to opt for silk/satin hair ties when styling to avoid friction
- Avoid styling and experiment with braiding techniques – for clients who are looking to take a break from heated styling tools during January, experimenting with hairstyles like braiding is a great option. Clients could distribute the Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture CC Cream through their hair before braiding. This will result in a polished look while also giving their hair added nourishment
- Book regular salon appointments – Clients should visit the salon for regular cuts or treatments to keep hair healthy. Regular cuts will also ensure split ends are removed and avoid further damage being done to their hair
