Are you tired of feeling lost and confused in the overwhelming world of hair care products? Choosing the right products and then figuring out the correct order to use them can be a real challenge. Maintaining a regular sequence is crucial as it allows the products to penetrate deeper into the hair cuticle, maximising the benefits of the products you use. But fear not, because we’re here to help you unravel the mysteries and bring clarity to your hair care routine.
Just like skincare, there is a proper method for applying hair products. While each hair type may have its own unique approach, there are general guidelines for effectively applying your hair products.
So, let's dive in and help make your hair dreams come true!
Step 1: SHOWER POWER!
Let's kick off in the shower. While it may seem obvious, it’s important to emphasize the significance of this step. The foundation to achieving your dream hair begins in the shower. It is crucial to select a shampoo and conditioner that are specifically formulated for your unique hair type. Opt for formulas that are free of sulphates, parabens and sodium chloride (salt) for a more gentle cleanse while helping to preserve the vibrancy and longevity of your colour, keratin and hair services.
I need volume: try bhave™ magnify volumising shampoo
I need moisture: try bhave™ hydrator moisturising shampoo
I need repair: try bhave™ rescue shampoo
I need to control yellow/brass: try bhave™ bombshell blonde shampoo
I need extra moisture nourishment and/or have curly, wavy, dry hair: try bhave™ nourish shampoo
I have an irritated, uncomfortable scalp - try bhave™ scalp shampoo
For best results, leave the second shampoo in your hair for about two minutes. That way, the bioactive keratin can really get in there and help repair and rebuild. After that, rinse it out and go ahead with conditioning.
Step 2: HAIR MASK / CONDITIONER

Now it's time to treat your hair to some serious nourishment. Grab a deep conditioning hair mask to treat dry, coloured or damaged hair to give it an extra boost of moisture and repair. Massage it through your strands, avoiding the scalp, and let it work its magic for 20 minutes. Rinse and condition to seal your hair cuticle closed. This little indulgence will leave your hair feeling pampered and rejuvenated. Say hello to hair that's ready to shine!
If you want to eliminate brassy, yellow, or warm tones from your hair, you can opt for a toning mask as an alternative solution. Toning masks provide necessary repair and protection to your hair while effectively neutralising and counteracting any unwanted warmth. To use, apply the toning mask on freshly washed and towel-dried hair, leave it in for 3-10 minutes (duration depends on the desired result), and then rinse it out followed by conditioning.

Step 3: TAME THE TANGLES
leave-in & lovin’
Moisture is the key to hair happiness for all hair types, including thick and curly as well as fine and straight. Leave-in conditioners help prevent breakage and provide essential nourishment. While your hair is still damp, work your magic with a hydrating leave-in conditioner. Your thirsty strands will drink it up, and you'll be rewarded with hair that's soft, manageable, and frizz-free.
When applying your products, it is important to prioritise a leave-in conditioner or detangler as the first product in your routine. This serves as a foundational base for your hair, providing a nurturing foundation.
Try bhave™’s take control leave-in créme - formulated to deliver instant moisture and heat protection, ensuring your hair receives the care it needs.

Now, let's tackle those annoying tangles that often seem impossible to conquer. Fear not! Armed with a reliable detangler, you will effortlessly overcome these knots. After washing your hair, apply bhave™ super nova multi-purpose elixir to towel-dried hair and gently comb through, starting from the ends and gradually working your way up. With your magical detangling powers, those stubborn tangles won't stand a chance.
Step 4: STYLE YOUR WAY!
Your choice of styling products will vary depending on how you choose to wear your hair each day. Each hair texture is unique, with different hydration levels, porosity, and curl patterns, requiring personalised styling products to meet specific needs.
These products play a crucial role in directing your hair's behaviour. For instance, if you desire a voluminous blowout, opt for a volumising foam, or choose an anti-frizz product for a straighter style.
Ready to give your hair a stunning boost of volume that turns heads? Grab a bottle of thickening spray or volumizing foam and apply it to your roots. Your hair will be transformed into a voluminous masterpiece, adding that extra oomph to your everyday style.

ONE LAST THING!
The order of applying hair products remains consistent, regardless of your desired style. While you can choose to omit certain products based on your preferences or needs, it's important to maintain the same layering sequence. So, if you decide to skip a step, that's perfectly fine, just remember to continue following the established order.
Roots vs. Ends— Where to Apply? To keep your ends moisturised without weighing down your roots, it is recommended to apply mousse, foam, or volumising spray to damp hair. For dry hair, consider using a texture spray or styling dust at the roots to enhance volume. When it comes to achieving an overall healthy and polished look, focus on applying smoothing products like cream or oil to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.
