10 basic rules for hair care

1. Shampoo

Apply shampoo only to the scalp — the hair lengths will be sufficiently cleansed by the foam that runs down them.

2. Conditioner

Apply it from the ends upward. Use it after every hair wash.

3. Rinse

Rinse shampoo and conditioner with warm water — cold water reduces hair shine.

4. Heat protection

Not only before blow-drying or using hot styling tools. Heat protection products also help reduce friction between the hairs, so it is important to use them regularly.

5. Do not rub wet hair with a towel

Gently pat it dry to remove excess moisture.

6. For colored hair

Choose acidic shampoos and conditioners for colored hair.

7. Hair mask

Approximately once a week. If necessary, you can use separate products for the scalp.

8. Scalp exfoliation or pre-shampoo care

Approximately once every 7–10 days, if needed.

9. Brush your hair gently

Start from the ends. Straight hair is best brushed when dry or partially dried, while curly hair is best brushed when damp.

10. Do not use a straightener or curling iron on wet hair

The basic principle of caring for the hair length is to reduce friction, exposure to high temperatures, and other mechanical damage to the hair shaft.

When should you see a doctor?

If you are concerned about hair loss, breakage, or changes in the quality or structure of your hair, you can consult a dermatologist.

Which doctor should you see?

You do not need to look for a separate trichology specialist for these concerns: conditions affecting the hair and scalp are within the scope of dermatology. A dermatologist will examine your hair and scalp, assess their condition, and provide individual recommendations for hair care and, if necessary, further evaluation.
