The Importance of a Hair Care Routine: How It Works and How to Build One
Hello, beauty lovers! Did you know that, just like our skin, our hair also needs specific care to stay healthy and beautiful? This is where the hair care routine comes in! Designed to ensure your hair gets the hydration, nourishment, and reconstruction it needs, the routine is the key to healthy, shiny, and strong hair.
Now, let’s understand better how it works, how to build your own routine, and the benefits of following this routine for your hair!
1. Hydration: For Well-Hydrated and Soft Hair
Hydration is the first and most important step in the hair care routine. Its purpose is to replenish the water lost by the hair, restoring its elasticity, shine, and softness. Dehydrated hair tends to be dull, brittle, and frizzy.
How it works: During this step, products rich in water, glycerin, aloe vera, and other humectants are used. These ingredients attract water and help keep the hair hydrated for longer.
The Ravenna Daily Care Hair Mask with Aloe Vera is an excellent option for this step in the routine. Enriched with aloe vera, it offers deep hydration, nourishment, and frizz control, leaving hair softer and easier to detangle. Its gentle formula is perfect for hydrating dry and damaged hair, ensuring an intense shine effect.
2. Nourishment: For Strong and Healthy Hair
Nourishment is the step that aims to replenish the lipids in the hair, meaning the natural oils that protect the hair. Undernourished hair can look lifeless, fragile, and prone to dryness. Products rich in vegetable oils (such as argan oil, avocado, coconut, etc.) are used in this step.
How it works: Nourishment helps to strengthen the hair fiber, protecting it from external aggressions such as sun, pollution, and excessive heat. It is essential for hair that goes through chemical processes, like coloring or straightening, as these processes tend to remove the natural oils from the hair.
3. Reconstruction: For Repairing and Strengthening the Hair
Reconstruction is the step intended to restore the lost hair mass, strengthening the strands from the inside out. It is mainly indicated for damaged hair, which has gone through aggressive chemical processes such as bleaching, straightening, or frequent heat treatments. Products with proteins, such as keratin, collagen, and amino acids, are the most recommended.
How it works: Reconstruction replenishes the proteins that form the hair fiber, making the strands stronger and less prone to breakage. However, it should be done with caution, as over-reconstruction can make the hair stiff.
How to Build Your Hair Care Routine
Now that you know the essential steps, the next question is: how to build a routine for your hair? Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Assess your hair: First, it’s important to understand your hair’s needs. Is it dry? Damaged? With a lot of frizz? With this, you can define if your hair needs more hydration, nourishment, or reconstruction.
-
Define the frequency: For normal hair, it’s recommended to hydrate twice a week, and nourish and reconstruct once a week or biweekly, depending on the level of damage. For very damaged hair, you may need to do more reconstructions.
-
Choose the right products: Each step of the routine requires specific products. Hydrating masks like Ravenna Daily Care with Aloe Vera are perfect to keep your hair hydrated and shiny. For nourishment, go for masks with oils and butters. For reconstruction, look for products with keratin and amino acids.
