Is it necessary to do a hair detox in winter?

How about starting the year with renewed hair and scalp? Hair detoxes are one of the best treatments for eliminating product residues and toxins, a deep cleansing with an increasing number of followers whose aim is to restore hair at all levels and give it more shine, vitality and strength. The beginning of the year is always a good time to try it, although it is advisable to have one regularly, depending on your hair type and needs.

Performing a hair detox has multiple benefits, not only do you deeply cleanse the scalp, but you also promote an optimal environment for hair growth. In addition, a residue-free scalp allows the nutrients from the products you apply to be better absorbed. In this case, it’s best to opt for products that are free of silicones, sulphates and toxins, and that are respectful of hair health and the environment.

‘A hair detox treatment starts with a clarifying shampoo, formulated to deeply cleanse and remove build-up and residue, then we apply a detox mask to revitalise and nourish, and finally, a light conditioner to help detangle and smooth the hair without adding weight. This whole process can be done once a month,’ explains María García from Dalire.

The frequency of hair detox would depend on the type of hair you have and the amount of product you use regularly, but for those who use styling products on a daily basis or have an oily scalp, it may be necessary to do it more often. Also, there is absolute peace of mind about the number of times, as they don’t damage the hair, you can even do them if you have coloured hair, and they will also improve problems such as dandruff.

How to restore our hair to its natural state

After the holidays, follow David Künzle’s protocol for restoring and repairing your hair: ‘First, go to your salon to have split ends trimmed and unwanted colour corrected. The next step is an intensive treatment to restore shine and deeply moisturise, which you then follow up at home with products recommended by your stylist, such as mid-length masks, hair oils or hair creams. Of course, always use cosmetics free of silicones or alcohol.
