There are many treatments to eliminate product residues and toxins from the scalp and hair, recommended especially after the summer. A deep cleansing is essential to stop our hair looking dull, heavy and lifeless, that’s why detox treatments are increasingly in demand, as they focus on eliminating all those impurities and are the first step to regain all its shine and strength.
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 is best to opt for those free of silicones, sulphates and toxins: ‘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 soften the hair without adding weight. This whole process can be done once a month,’ explains María García, head of customer experience at shampoo company 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 might be necessary to do it more frequently. 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 this protocol from David Künzle to restore and repair 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 silicone- and alcohol-free cosmetics.
