1. Limp hair? Invigorate your scalp!
Skip daily washing, which strips away the hair's natural protective sebum for shine. Instead, adopt the time-tested grandmother's ritual: 100 brush strokes a day.
The technique: Brush from the roots in all directions—start upside down, then right side up. Benefits include oxygenating the scalp (and clearing your mind), revitalizing follicles, boosting circulation, and evenly distributing sebum along the strands. Do this every morning and night before bed. (Natural bristle brush for optimal aeration, Franck Provost brush, €11.50)
2. Unruly hair? Reach for heated rollers
Struggling with hair that's too straight, curly, flat, or just lacks life? Heated rollers deliver effortless volume and shape. Bonus: It's a fun, retro process that makes you feel like a pro stylist.
Pro tip: Dry hair thoroughly upside down first. Section and apply rollers (just 1 minute once mastered). Opt for larger diameters for speed. Leave on for 10 minutes—perfect while showering. Result: Bouncy, versatile curls for any style or natural wear. (20 rollers: 8 large, 6 medium, 6 small for varied looks, Babyliss heated rollers, €64)
3. Dry cuticles? Nourish with targeted oil
Neglected cuticles instantly betray unkempt hands. Enter cuticle oil—your go-to for hydration. The challenge? Mess-free application on the go. Solution: A precision roll-on dispenser.
This organic argan-based formula is packed with vitamins, healing properties, and available in three scents and textures (moisturizing for day, nourishing for night). Bonus: Use on pulse points for aromatherapy benefits like calming or energizing. (Uka Cuticle Oil c/o Colette, €23.50)
