Expert Hair Care Tips to Maintain Healthy Hair Between Salon Visits

As a professional, helping your clients maintain healthy hair between salon visits ensures they get the most from their appointments.

Here’s a simple guide you can share with them to keep their hair in great condition at home.

Use the Right Products

Hair care should be tailored to the individual:

• Fine hair: Recommend lightweight, volumising shampoos.

• Curly hair: Moisture is key—look for hydrating products with shea butter or argon oil.

• Colour-treated hair: Advise sulphate-free shampoos and weekly deep conditioning masks to preserve colour and shine.

Protect Hair from Heat Damage

Heat styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can cause significant damage if not used properly. Help clients reduce heat damage by suggesting the following:

• Use a heat protectant spray every time they style with heat.

• Encourage them to use an XL Luxury Hair Wrap after a shower to reduce the amount of heat they need on their hair.

• Remind them to use tools at the lowest temperature setting that still achieves the desired result.

Protect Hair at Night

Sleeping habits can also affect the health of hair. Suggest clients follow these simple tips for night-time care:

• Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent hair breakage.

• For longer hair, advise tying it in a loose braid or using a silk hair wrap to protect it from tangling and breakage overnight.

Brush with Care

Brushing is a part of the daily routine that can do more harm than good if not done correctly. Encourage clients to:

• Use a wide-tooth comb for detangling wet hair, as it's more fragile when damp.

• Use a Luxury Paddle Brush that glides through hair effortlessly, reducing breakage and maintaining the integrity of your hair.

• When brushing start from the bottom and work your way up to the roots to prevent your hair from breaking. When you start at the top, any knots will be dragged down through the length of your hair, causing strain and potentially snapping hair.

Product Recommendations

Of course, no hair care routine is complete without the right products. Here are a few professional-grade options that you can confidently recommend:

• Shampoo and Conditioner: Look for sulphate-free formulas that cater to specific hair types.

• Heat Protectant: A lightweight spray or cream that shields hair from high temperatures.

• Leave-in Conditioner: Perfect for adding moisture and reducing frizz without weighing hair down.

• Deep Conditioning Mask: A once-a-week treatment to repair damage and boost shine.
• Dry Shampoo: Great for in-between washes to refresh hair without over-washing.

Regular Trims are Essential

Even though the goal is to stretch time between salon visits, regular trims are essential to maintain healthy hair. Advise clients that trimming every 6-8 weeks will keep split ends at bay and help hair grow stronger and healthier.

By sharing this guide with your clients, you’re not just providing them with tips—they’ll see the benefit of maintaining their hair between visits.

This routine will ensure that when they return to your chair, their hair will be in its best possible condition.
