hair:hairdresser Damien Boissinot gives us his secrets

What do you recommend to women who no longer like their hair?

When women have a love affair with their hair, it means they forget to touch it. You have to relearn to look, to touch, to initiate movement with small, easy-to-do gestures. And to break habits to move the lines and see yourself differently:change the side parting, crepe at the root to give volume, brush in all directions upside down... So many little things that wake up the hair and the face.

What to do to energize long hair?

You can use the little tricks I mentioned and / or go to the next step:you offer yourself a real transformation or just a cleaner, more degraded cut, a fringe (it changes everything and it saves ten years! ) or a long wick. A good cut is the tutor:without it, you cannot texturize a hair or put it in place. The watchword:respect each other! To feel beautiful and real, to believe in your hairstyle.

How to find THE right hairdresser?

What is a good shampoo?

It is a shampoo adapted to the scalp, not to the lengths, we too often forget that. If you have a dry, oily, sensitive scalp with dandruff, choose your treating shampoo accordingly. And we alternate once in two or three times with a neutral or “beauty” shampoo. This is the care that we select according to the lengths (dry, curly, highlighted…)

A trick to boost shine?

The jet of cold water with the addition of cider vinegar. The good recipe:we put a little vinegar in the hand (not directly on the head), we put it wick by wick after the shampoo, then we rinse

A brilliant tip?

Self-massage:small circular massages are performed on the temples, in the center of the forehead at the hairline, near the ears at the level of the "legs", then at the level of the neck and occiput. It can be done dry and/or while shampooing:it's great for the hair but also to relax the skull, and therefore, the brain...
