Is this not one of the most confusing things about home haircare?? Well I’m going to break it down for you so you know what to choose for you, when to do it and why it’s so important and your stylist will be super impressed!
Firstly, what category are you?
BLONDEY, needing a lot of love,
CURLY, your BFF is your straightener
CONFUSED, you get a new look every appointment
NATURAL, thinking you don’t need anything
The reason we try to categorize you, is because there is sooo much choice out there, but all treatments have different benefits. If you are using something that’s not suited to your needs, you won’t notice the benefits.
So, to keep it simple use my guide .…
BLONDES
You need the most amount of love and this comes in 2 forms,
Protein – for strength
Moisture – for hydration and ultimately, control
WHAT
Often Blondes need to use a blonde shampoo and/or conditioner at home to maintain their colour. This is definitely the right choice and because purple/silver toning shampoos are designed for blondes, the good ones account for the moisture all blondes need.
DAVROE REBUILDER – Rinse out – I always recommend a deeper repairing treatment that is designed to replace the hair with moisture and proteins that the lightening can affect over time.
NEW MATRIX INSTACURE Porosity Spray – A leave in designed to seal ends and reduce breakage whilst strengthening.
WHEN
REBUILDER Every week! Don’t miss a week and you’ll always notice the difference. Just once a week and yes, if you only wash it once, you do it every time you wash. If not it’s one wash a week that you do your treatment.
INSTACURE – Every time you wash before styling.
HOW
REBUILDER – Treatments have evolved so much and nearly every treatment gives full effect after 3-5 minutes. (just long enough to shave, exfoliate or clean your tiles) So Shampoo twice, squeeze out the excess water and apply treatment. IMPORTANT TIP… comb through so it reaches every strand. Clip up for the 3-5 minutes. Rinse and condition after. This is important even though it already feels nice, as it shuts the cuticle behind it and keeps the treatment in and lasting.
NEW MATRIX INSTACURE Porosity Spray – Leave in – After towel drying, spray through all hair, comb through, style as normal.
BENEFITS
Watch how long your blowdry lasts if you style it straight after. This is due to having enough moisture to stay smooth and illuminate fuzz normally there to search for moisture in the air. The shine is normally very noticeable because of the smoothness of every hair strand, reflecting light in the right way.
MATRIX – Brushability for long, old, blonde hair leading to reduced breakage and stress. Protection from damage moving forward.
CURLY GALS
Leave it curly….. you need ultimate hydration
Straighten a lot…. you need heat protection and repair, and as always hydration
WHAT
MATRIX CURL CAN DREAM Rich Mask – The ultimate rehydrator. I always recommend the matching curl shampoo and with this as the follow up you will feel surprised at the control you experience after, not to mention the softness and manageability.
DAVROE CURLIQUE Deep conditioning rinse – Following a very hydrating Shampoo, the Deep treatment helps restore moisture deep through the layers whilst not being too heavy.
WHEN
Every week! Or for some very coil like curls, every wash. Definitely don’t miss a week and you’ll always notice the difference. Again, if you only wash it once, you do it every time you wash. If not it’s one wash a week that you do your treatment.
HOW
With both options – you’ll see full effect after 3-5 minutes. (just long enough to shave, exfoliate or clean your tiles) So Shampoo twice, squeeze out the excess water and apply treatment. IMPORTANT TIP… comb through so it reaches every strand. Clip up for the 3-5 minutes. Rinse and condition after. This is important even though it already feels nice, as it shuts the cuticle behind it and keeps the treatment lasting longer.
BENEFITS
MATRIX – you’ll notice instant benefits and be surprised at the difference in feeling.
DAVROE – for some, treatments will weight the hair too much, so for finer hair types Curlique is great and will not leave you cursing your treatment a day later.
HAIRDRESSER AT HEART
So you change your colour a lot, you wear it different ways all the time, you use different tools… FYI – you’re a hairdresser at heart!
WHAT
Most importantly, repair so you combat heat and chemical damage. This comes in many forms, yes rinse out treatment but also a leave in heat protector for you!
DAVROE MCT – Intense hydration sealing the cuticle hydrating from roots to tip.
NEW MATRIX INSTACURE Porosity Spray – A leave in designed to seal ends and reduce breakage whilst strengthening.
WHEN
MCT Yes you’ve got it by now… Every week! Don’t miss a week and you’ll always notice the difference. If you wash once a week it’s every time.
INSTACURE – Every time you wash before styling.
HOW
MCT – Another treatment that gives full effect after 3-5 minutes. (just long enough to shave, exfoliate or clean your tiles) So Shampoo twice, squeeze out the excess water and apply treatment. IMPORTANT TIP… towel dry if you hold a lot of water so as not to dilute the treatment. Clip up for the 3-5 minutes. Rinse and condition after. This is important even though it already feels nice, as it shuts the cuticle behind it and keeps the treatment in and lasting.
NEW MATRIX INSTACURE Porosity Spray – Leave in – After towel drying, spray through all hair, comb through, style as normal.
BENEFITS
MCT – Vegan friendly, with softness and smoothness and overall control instantly noticeable after one use.
MATRIX – Brushability for long, old, blonde hair leading to reduced breakage and stress. Protection from damage moving forward.
A LA NATURAL
A regular deep treatment should still be in your routine. Something hydrating yet lighter weight weekly or fortnightly will protect your hair from all the elements. You still sit in heating and air conditioning; you still walk around in the sun and most of you still style your hair at least twice a week.
I recommend any of the following…
MATRIX Curl can dream mask – if you have any movement in you hair
BIOLAGE Repair Inside mask – all hair types
DAVROE Curlique deep conditioning rinse – Fine to medium hair
DAVROE Rebuilder – Blondes or heat damaged hair
Well, I hope that has cleared thing up a little and given you some options to start treating your hair with what it really needs! ENJOY THE RESULTS! YOUR WELCOME!
