Pre-wash
Hair oiling
Combining a good scalp massage with the benefits of natural oils has been shown to promote oxygenation and blood circulation, while also providing nourishment and moisture. This helps strengthen the hair strand leaving the hair soft, shiny and frizz-free.
Brush your hair before washing
Brushing your hair before showering is a simple yet powerful step that has many real benefits for hair health. It's not just a cosmetic issue: it prepares your hair for washing, protects it from damage, and improves the effectiveness of products.
Pre shampoo
A small step that makes a big difference, especially if your hair is damaged, color-treated, curly, or gets greasy quickly. One of the main benefits of pre-shampooing is protecting your ends from the damage that shampoo can cause, especially if you use traditional formulas or if you have dry, color-treated, or damaged hair.
Hair washing

-Activates blood circulation - Improves the absorption of shampoo and treatments -Relaxes the nervous system -Helps prevent hair loss -Stimulates growth
Water temperature
The correct way to wash your hair is by using warm water, as it helps remove dirt and oil while improving product absorption. Finish by rinsing with cold water to close the cuticle and lock in moisture.
A good hair wash
Adolfo Remartinez advises wetting your hair and not applying the shampoo directly, but rather first applying it to your hands and then to your hair. It is usually recommended to wash your hair with shampoo twice.
Little extra tips
Cut your hair regularly
The key to keeping hair healthy, strong and in good shape. Healthy, chemical-free hair every 2 or 3 months. If you have split ends or excessive frizz, trim every 1 or 2 months.
Protective hairstyle
It's a hairstyle designed to minimize daily hair manipulation and protect the ends, which are the oldest and most fragile part. Some examples: loose braids, low buns, twists, soft ponytails, buns, or even sleeping with a loose braid.
The importance of good nutrition
Nutrition is a fundamental key to hair health. While external products help keep your hair beautiful, true strong, shiny, and resilient growth starts from within. Christophe Robin says: “Hair health starts on your plate. No product can replace an internal deficiency.”

Care after washing
Say yes to the hair dryer and no to natural drying.
Although many believe that letting your hair dry naturally is best for healthy hair, several experts and dermatologists have already refuted this. When hair is wet it is at its most vulnerable because the cuticle (protective outer layer) is open, which makes it weaker and more prone to breakage.
