Long hair requires daily attention to maintain its suppleness, prevent breakage, and maintain its natural shine. Here are the essential habits to teach it to maintain its long-lasting length.
Between targeted care and professional gestures, this hair routine focuses on consistency, gentleness and high-performance products.
What routine should you adopt for maintaining long hair ?
Wash gently without damaging 🧴
Long hair has a structure weakened by its length. Its maintenance therefore relies on hair care Nourishing, moisturizing and protective. It is advisable to start with a suitable wash: two to three times a week maximum, depending on the nature of the scalp. Choose a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo like those offered in our shampoo collection .
Deeply nourish and hydrate 💧
After shampooing, apply a nourishing mask to the mid-lengths and ends. This should be done systematically, even for "non-damaged" hair: as a preventative measure, it prevents dryness, frizz, and split ends. Leave on for 10 to 20 minutes under a warm towel to optimize the absorption of the active ingredients. Our hydrating hair mask is perfect for this purpose.
To enhance its effectiveness, gently comb your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb while applying the product . This action allows for better distribution of the treatment and helps to gently detangle the hair. Once rinsed, the hair regains its suppleness and fluidity, ready to be styled without constraint. Don't forget to finish with a jet of cold water to tighten the cuticles and maximize shine.
Stimulate growth with a scalp scrub 💆 🏽 ♀
Once every 15 days , add a hair scrub to your routine to purify the scalp. This promotes blood circulation, growth, and allows for better oxygenation of the bulbs. Hair scrub cleanser can be used directly before shampooing, in a gentle circular massage.
This exfoliating treatment removes styling product residue, dead skin cells, and excess sebum. By cleansing the scalp, it improves the absorption of subsequent treatments and prevents itching. A clean scalp is the foundation for active, regular hair growth. For complete action, combine this ritual with internal hydration via food supplements and a skincare routine tailored to your needs.
Controlled drying and regular maintenance of the tips
Drying and styling should also be carefully considered to preserve the hair fiber. Set your hairdryer to a medium temperature and avoid blow-drying daily. Finally, a blast of cold air helps close the cuticles and lock in shine.
Finally, we recommend a maintenance cut every 8 to 10 weeks , even minimally. Regularly removing split ends prevents breakage from moving up the lengths.
Pro tip: Remember to brush your long hair morning and night with a natural bristle brush to stimulate sebum production and distribute natural oils to the ends.
Pre-care, environment and seasonal protection
To strengthen your daily routine, add a weekly pre-treatment: a vegetable oil bath wrapped in plastic wrap for 30 minutes. This deep, homemade treatment helps restore hair fiber elasticity and prevent dryness caused by mechanical stress.
Don't forget the hair's environment: silk pillowcases, protective night hairstyles (braids or loose buns), and metal-free accessories limit breakage.
In summer, adapt your routine to sun exposure. Protect your locks with UV-filter sprays and rinse your hair with clean water after swimming. A restorative mask is recommended at the end of the day to soothe and hydrate.
What products should I use to protect and strengthen long hair ?
Hair serum and oil : protective duo 🛡️
Long hair is subject to constant friction: rubbing against clothing, elastics, bedding, etc. This exposure makes the lengths vulnerable, hence the need to use conditioning and nourishing treatments.
The first essential is a hair serum , to be applied after each wash and before styling. It seals in moisture, smooths frizz and protects the fiber against heat. Take a few drops of our hair serum and warm them between your hands before distributing it through the lengths.
In addition, a plant-based hair oil provides intense nourishment without weighing hair down. It can be used as a pre-wash treatment (oil bath for 30 minutes to 1 hour) or as a finishing treatment on dry hair. Our hair oils are enriched with argan, jojoba, and castor oils, ideal for smoothing hair cuticles and strengthening ends.
Leave-in care for a complete routine
Leave-in treatments complete the routine: moisturizing creams, lotions, or sprays make styling easier and provide suppleness and control. Opt for lighter textures for fine hair, and richer ones for thick or curly hair.
The frequency of use of these products varies depending on lifestyle: for someone exposed to urban pollution on a daily basis, daily application is recommended. For others, two to three times a week may be sufficient.
Food supplements and hair health
For in-depth results, we recommend a course of hair food supplements. over 2 to 3 months. Formulated with B vitamins, zinc, and biotin, our Big Hair capsules promote growth, reduce hair loss, and increase density. These nutrients act directly on the hair cycle by stimulating follicles. For optimal effectiveness, we recommend taking them daily with a protein-rich meal. The first results on growth and shine are visible from the 6th week of treatment. This course of treatment can be repeated 2 to 3 times a year as needed.
Stimulate the scalp
One last point that's often overlooked: the scalp. It's the foundation for hair growth. A healthy, oxygenated, and well-irrigated scalp is essential for the vitality of long hair. Use a stimulating serum like our hair growth serum, applied 2 to 3 times a week, massaging in circular motions with your fingertips. This action activates microcirculation, reduces tension, and optimizes the absorption of active ingredients. This treatment is easy to incorporate into your evening routine, without leaving a greasy or heavy feeling.
