Heat from styling tools, coloring, friction, pollution: hair is put to the test. The result is that it becomes dry, dull, and breaks more easily. The good news is that a few simple actions and adapted care can make a real difference.
Why does hair become dry?
- Heat: hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons weaken the hair fiber.
- Aggressive washing: harsh or overly frequent shampooing dries out the scalp and lengths.
- Coloring and bleaching.
- Friction: towels, pillowcases, and overly tight hair ties.
Step 1: a gentle shampoo
Choose a pH-balanced shampoo that is gentle enough not to damage the fiber. Our fortifying caffeine and rosemary shampoo, with black castor oil, horsetail, and nettle, is designed for fine, brittle, or damaged hair and is suitable for color-treated hair.
Tip: focus the shampoo on the scalp and simply let the lather run down the lengths while rinsing.
Step 2: oil treatments, once or twice a week
This is the star treatment for dry hair. Before shampooing, apply an oil to dry hair from the mid-lengths to the ends, massage the scalp, then leave it on for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight.
- The Ayurvedic amla and henna oil nourishes the scalp and helps prevent split ends.
- The camphor and peppermint oil helps repair heat-damaged hair and soothes the scalp.

Step 3: a touch of oil on the ends
On dry or slightly damp hair, one or two drops of dry oil on the ends are enough to provide shine and softness without weighing it down. The multi-use oil can be used on both the hair and the face.
Good everyday habits
- Dry by patting with a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt, without rubbing.
- Lower the temperature of the hair dryer and keep it at a distance.
- Detangle from the ends to the roots, using a wide-tooth comb.
- Trim the ends regularly, every 2 to 3 months.
- Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to limit friction.
If hair loss or breakage seems unusual or sudden, do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist.
