My Fall Hair Care with Phlov

My hair, and probably not only mine, goes through a lot. When we face the truth, it turns out that we often cause them a lot of problems. Usually, it is just everyday styling, but we can also add highlighting and coloring to the list, too tight pins, and in the summer we also expose it to the sun and salt or chlorinated water. Today I want to share my secrets with you on how to restore the shine to my hair after an intense summer and keep it for long. You can read about it below!

 

The HER BRUSH is Available Again

One of the hair accessories that always has a place in my bathroom and make-up bag is a handy, soft and delicate brush. It can also be used for a gentle massage of the scalp, and its flexible spikes help detangle even very tangled hair. It’s also good that it does not cause static and is made of biodegradable materials… You probably know what I’m talking about.

This is of course the HER BRUSH hairbrush from Phlov, which is back in our store! If you don’t have it yet, be sure to get it, your hair will be grateful for it. What’s more, apart from the classic purple color, now the brush will also be available in a black version!

 

Is Brushing Enough?

However, brushing is not enough for damaged hair. What’s more, if your hair is very dry and damaged, incompetent brushing can harm it and cause increased loss!

So, what to do if styling and color treatments, or hot sunny days at the seaside or by the pool, have left your hair dry, damaged and dull? Today I want to recommend my original fall ritual that will restore softness, hydration and shine to your hairstyle!

 

 

The Fall Hair Ritual

Do you know the hair oiling method? It’s an incredibly popular method loved by millions of people around the world, so if you haven’t used it yet, fall is the perfect time to start! It consists in applying oil to the hair and as a result, we close the cuticles and bind moisture in it. I do it on a regular basis to keep my hair in perfect condition and to make it look healthy. Below you can find my recipe for healthy-looking, glowing hair.

Prepare:

• The HER BRUSH hairbrush
• Hair and body butter from the carameLOVE SPA line
• ALL BY MY HAIR Cleansing mask 
• HAIR IN THE GAME moisturizing shampoo
• WIN-HAIR TAKES IT ALL moisturizing conditioner

Optionally — a turban, a cap or a headwrap.

 

Step 1. Choose the method of oiling – dry or wet. In the first case, I start with dry hair, but not freshly washed. In the second one, I soak hair in water first, just to make it damp, not dripping.

The dry method helps tame hair that is difficult to style and comb, and the wet method will help restore moisture and is especially good for damaged hair.

 

Step 2. If you need to, brush your hair with HER BRUSH before you start oiling. Curls and waves should not be combed dry. Besides, such hair often suffers from dryness, so a wet oiling treatment may actually be better in this case.

 

Step 3. Now we begin the oiling: apply carameLOVE SPA butter, warmed in your hands, to the entire length of your hair from the ear downwards. However, try to avoid applying it directly to your scalp and to the hair near it. Quantity is important in this step: your hair must not drip oil, but it must not feel dry either. To make sure that the oil covers each strand evenly, I comb the hair with HER BRUSH, then rinse the brush in soapy water (it can be hand soap or shower gel; dishwashing liquid will also work here if you have doubts whether your soap can handle the oil).

 

Step 4. The easiest step is to leave the oil on your hair. If my hairstyle needs quick relief, then usually after the oiling I braid it or roll it up into a quite tight bun and leave it for 2-3 hours. If I am more active at this time, I also put on a cap or a scarf. However, a few hours may not be enough for highly damaged, dry and brittle hair. Then it is good to leave the oil on your hair all night long, but here the necessary condition is to perform dry oiling!

 

Step 5. After a few hours, it’s time to wash off the oil – I choose the ALL BY MY HAIR mask emulsification method. Emulsification means that the conditioner combines with the oil, creating an emulsion that can be easily rinsed off with water. I start by rinsing my hair with warm water and letting it drain, then apply the conditioner, leave it on for about 30 minutes. After this time, I wash my hair with HAIR IN THE GAME moisturizing shampoo – a good way is to dilute it in a cup of warm water. It’s a gentler way of washing than applying it directly to the scalp and hair, so we won’t wash away everything we’ve been working on so far!

 

Step 6. We are almost finished, and it is time for the moisturizing WIN-HAIR TAKES IT ALL conditioner. The intensely moisturizing ingredients will complete the treatment and protect the hair by keeping water in it for longer. After 15-20 minutes, I rinse the conditioner with lukewarm water and dry my hair with a towel. Finally, I comb them out – remember that proper combing always depends on the type of hair: some can be combed wet, others should be dried first. Choose the option that suits you best!
