Hair is everything, we heard in FleabagWe'd always thought so, but it took the series to convince everyone that it's responsible for part of our security and self-esteem. T-shirts were even made with this phrase.
We all know what a Good Hair Day and a Bad Hair Day are, and we know which one we prefer. We'll tell you the steps you can take if you want to take good care of your hair:
1) Pre-wash: the magic begins
All experts agree: this is a crucial step. Before washing your hair, we recommend dry brushing it. This massages your scalp, detangles, and removes dirt. Plus, your hair is strong and resilient at this point. It only takes a couple of minutes.
In addition to brushing, you can add another treatment once a week. This is the time to exfoliate, apply a product for sensitive scalps, or even an oil that adds nourishment before washing. As the hairdresser says superstar English, Larry King"A good routine literally starts at the root. The first product you use should remove buildup, oil, and pollution." He recommends using an exfoliating brush. And so do we.
2) Wash your hair well: Hair hygiene
According to Sam McKnight, the well-known hairdresser: "Instead of washing your hair on autopilot, invest a little time in your cleansing ritual, which is just what you need for that extra health, shine, and strength."
We've been doing this for decades, and we've only recently learned how to do it properly. Washing your hair isn't just washing it: it's cleaning, caring for, and ensuring its health.
We give you some tips:
- There is a common mistake: using too much product. A single nut is usually enough.
- Wash your hair whenever you feel like it: doing it every day isn't harmful, especially with carefully formulated shampoos like those you find at Laconicum. Nobody better than you to know the frequency: : the most common is usually 2-3 times a week.
- Choose the right shampoo for your hair's personality and needs. Is it curly, very dry, color-treated, gray, fine, or lackluster? Or maybe you have normal, healthy hair. Lucky you. There is a shampoo for every hair type.
- Do not apply shampoo to your hair.. Apply it to your hands and work it into your wet hair. Apply it to the scalp, not the ends, and work your fingers in thoroughly.
- Massage is essential: take time to get your circulation going, so that the product is distributed and cleaning is carried out thoroughly.
- You can rinse or, if your hair is very dirty, repeat the process.
- Rinse very carefully. If any shampoo remains, the wash won't have done much good. Do not twist the hair: is never more fragile than when it is wet.
- Now you're going to ask us. What temperature should the water be? Warm. And yes, You should top it off with cold water even in winterYour hair will shinier. And you'll wake up if you're still asleep.
MY TRICK: "If you have very long hair, like mine, wash it upside down. You'll see the difference.
3) Nourishes the hair:
This step is essential, even for fine hair and those who think shampoo is enough to get through the world. This is when hair strengthens, gains shine, and elasticity.Nourishment comes from conditioners and masks—yes, the kind that always smells so good and leaves hair so touchable.
These are some of the common doubts:
Should I always use conditioner?
It's highly recommended because it strengthens your hair and the ends; they'll break less. Choose a mild or leave-in product if you have fine hair. Plus, they smell so good…
How long should I leave the mask on?
More than just the conditioner: the molecule is different and needs that time to penetrate. Follow the product instructions: don't be rebellious or impatient.
Tip: For very dry hair, you can apply it all over your hair, not just the mid-lengths and ends. The results are much better.
4) Tips for perfect brushing:
Hair is never more fragile than when it's wet, so let's treat it with care. Gently dry it with a towel: don't rub, press gently instead. If possible, avoid using a hairdryer, and if you can't do without it because your hair is unruly, apply a protectant. Imagine drying your skin—that's how your poor scalp feels when you apply powerful heat without mercy.
5) Tips and treatments to care for your hair:
This is the time for the most spectacular hair care: here we apply styling creams, oils, and other cosmetics that will give our hair the perfect shine, tame frizz, and finish it off. Choose the texture you like best and that suits you best: it could be a few drops of oil or a bit of finishing cream. Or perhaps a volumizing mist or a contemporary hairspray to make your style last for hours. It is the moment when the hair is ready for social life.

- "If you want volume, let your hair air dry.", he says Sam McKnight.
- If yours is very dry, apply a cure: leave an oil to act overnight and wash it in the morning
- Apply hair perfume: When you move it, you will leave a fa-bu-lo-us trail.
