HOW TO FIND YOUR HAIR ROUTINE?
Caring for textured hair can seem complicated when faced with the multitude of products and advice available. But the right hair care routine is based on a few simple principles. The most important thing is to listen to your hair and understand its needs. With spring’s arrival, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your routine and give your hair the care it deserves after winter.
Here are some essential tips to help you create a routine tailored to your needs.
1. Understanding your hair
Every hair is unique, and knowing your hair type is a fundamental step. Is it wavy, curly or do you have tight curls? Is it fine, thick, porous, dry or coloured? Understanding these characteristics will enable you to choose the most suitable products, but also to adjust the amount of product to be applied according to their texture and needs. Too much can weigh your hair down, while too little may not be effective enough to moisturise and define it properly.
2. Compose your routine
A hair routine is built around 4 fundamental pillars:
- Cleansing: choose a shampoo that meets your needs.
- Hydration: use a mask or conditioner to nourish the hair fibre.
- Styling: use styling products (creams, mousses, gels) suited to the result you want to achieve to define and maintain your curls.
Also remember to use brushes such as the one from Felicia Leatherwood or wide-tooth combs to detangle your hair gently to prevent breakage. - Protection: protect your textured hair at night with a satin/silk cap or pillowcase to prevent breakage and retain moisture.
When you’re at the studio, don’t hesitate to talk to your curl specialists for personalised advice.

3. Adapt your routine
Your hair’s needs change with the seasons, its health and your styling habits. So it’s essential to pay attention to their needs and adjust your routine accordingly: a more moisturising treatment in winter, reducing the amount of product applied to the hair in summer for example. Adapting your routine according to these criteria will help keep your hair healthy all year round.
4. Test and adjust
Wavy, curly and coily hair react differently to products. When you introduce a new product into your routine, use it several times to observe its effects. Keeping a notebook dedicated to your hair can be a good way to keep track of the products you use and what works best, or to take photos of the different results. Don‘t hesitate to discuss this with your curl specialists for more advice.
Building your hair routine is a process that can take time. It’s normal to experiment before finding what works best.
