Top Hair Care Tips for Healthy and Shiny Locks

Frequent styling and coloring without proper care can significantly damage the quality of our hair. Damaged hair is easily noticeable, both visually and to the touch. It often appears brittle, dry, dull, and lifeless. Typically, unhealthy hair results from improper handling and care.

Causes of Hair Damage

Several factors contribute to hair damage, including:

Frequent Use of Styling Tools: Regular use of tools like flat irons, blow dryers, and curling wands can weaken hair.
Chemical Treatments: Procedures such as coloring, bleaching, and perming can strip hair of its natural oils.
Stress and Poor Nutrition: These factors can negatively impact hair structure, but the primary culprit is often inadequate home care.

If these issues sound familiar, we have good news: a drastic haircut isn’t your only option. Here are some top hair care tips to help restore health and shine to your locks.

Essential Hair Care Tips

1. Avoid Combing Wet Hair

Wet hair is more susceptible to breakage. Use a special brush designed for detangling wet hair or a wide-tooth comb. Apply a leave-in conditioner to help the comb glide smoothly through your hair.

2. Use Hydrating Masks

Professionals agree that healthy hair is well-hydrated. An intensive hydrating mask can help repair damaged strands, making them shinier and more manageable. Consider using the ESTEL Otium Aqua Comfort Mask. Its formula, enriched with betaine, lanolin, 13 amino acids, and soy proteins, deeply moisturizes hair, restores damaged areas, and protects against static electricity. The result is elastic, smooth, and shiny hair.

3. Limit Chlorine Exposure

If you swim in a pool, try to minimize your time in chlorinated water. Chlorine strips natural oils from hair, making it dry and brittle. Use protective products if you spend a lot of time in chlorinated water.

4. Use Sun Protection for Hair

Just like skin, hair can be damaged by UV rays. If you spend time in the sun, wear a hat or use a protective hair spray. The ESTEL Otium Summer Sun Protection Spray protects hair from sun damage and moisture loss without making it greasy. Its cactus extract maintains hydration, and silk proteins condition hair, making it easier to comb and adding shine.

5. Try Leave-In Oils and Sprays

Even if you use conditioners or hair masks, leave-in products can further restore dry, chemically damaged hair. Some top recommendations include the Luxury Blond ESTEL Haute Couture Hair Oil and the Luxury Hydrobalance ESTEL Haute Couture Two-Phase Spray. These products nourish, moisturize, and protect hair, ensuring it remains healthy and shiny.

6. Avoid Daily Hair Washing

Washing hair daily can strip essential oils from the scalp before they can nourish your hair. Find a washing routine that suits your hair type, whether it’s every other day or once a week.

7. Reduce Heat Styling Temperature

Minimize the use of curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers, especially on colored hair. If you must use heat styling tools, avoid the highest temperature settings. Use low or medium heat for fine or colored hair. Always apply a heat protectant to prevent further damage.

For added protection and shine, use the ESTEL Haute Couture Batiste Heat Protection Spray. Its silk and wheat protein complex forms a protective layer on hair, shielding it from high temperatures during styling and adding a beautiful shine.
