Step 1: Hair detox, act from the outside

Introduction to detox care

This step involves acting from the outside by choosing gentle shampoos, based on aloe vera or sweet almond, anti-dandruff shampoo, without surfactants, without parabens, without harsh ingredients, without products and treatments derived from petrochemicals which turn out to be endocrine and hormonal disruptors, which are irritating; prefer natural and plant-based colorings. Don't hesitate, read the ingredient label to choose your hair care ally.


Make sure to space out shampooing, and rinse hair with cold water to tighten the cuticles. High heat sources tend to irritate the scalp, causing redness and irritation.


Choose hair products suited to your hair type: fine hair, dry or very dry hair, oily hair, colored hair, curly hair, normal hair, kinky hair, blonde hair, frizzy hair, for example. Respect the natural origin of your hair.


Make sure not to accumulate styling products and to thoroughly rinse hair treatments to avoid storing residues that will weigh down the hair. It is therefore preferable to limit the use of leave-in products and dry shampoo.


Use nourishing and moisturizing hair masks, an oil bath based on essential oils (Ylang-Ylang for hair growth, lavender, rosemary) and vegetable oils (jojoba oil, argan oil, almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil). Caring for hair is the key to having beautiful hair.

Apply this treatment to dry lengths and ends, for better hydration, it is preferable to leave it on overnight. A true repairing elixir!


What is a detox shampoo?

A detox shampoo is designed to eliminate impurities and product residues accumulated on the scalp and hair. It contains natural and gentle ingredients that deeply cleanse without causing irritation. Detox shampoos are often formulated without sulfates, parabens, or silicones, and use natural cleansing agents such as clay, activated charcoal, or plant extracts. They help restore a healthy scalp and light, shiny hair.

Step 2: Hair detox, act from within

The role of the detox mask

Procedure for curly hair

The specificities of kinky hair require a particular approach during a hair detox. This type of hair tends to be drier and more fragile due to its spiral structure, which prevents natural oils from distributing evenly. A suitable hair detox can help remove product residues and impurities without further drying out the hair. For this, it is recommended to use gentle products, free of sulfates and rich in nourishing ingredients such as aloe vera, jojoba oil, or shea butter. Regular detox treatment helps revive kinky hair, making it more flexible, shiny, and resistant to breakage.
