Revitalize your hair with hair detox

Just like our skin, our hair is exposed on a daily basis to numerous external attacks (cold, UV rays, pollution, etc.) which affect the proper functioning of our scalp. Result: our hair becomes dull, greasy, tired. To revitalize them, it is important to have a healthy scalp and hair detox is a good solution to achieve this.

What is a hair detox for?

You already know about skin detox and apply it regularly in your beauty routine, but did you know that there is also hair detox? If your hair seems dull, greasy, tired, it’s time to give it a deep clean! Indeed, our hair is exposed every day to numerous attacks (pollution, tobacco, chemicals, etc.), to residues from dry shampoos or to regular coloring which asphyxiate the scalp and ultimately slow down microcirculation. Performed 1 to 2 times a week, hair detox is a particularly beneficial treatment because it purifies the scalp, promotes micro-circulation and eliminates excess sebum as well as substances and hair product residues which clog the pores of the scalp.

When to detox your hair?

Detoxifying your hair and especially your scalp is recommended if you want to opt for a more natural hair routine. The detox treatment will allow you to eliminate residues of synthetic products and strengthen the hair fiber to start a healthier routine. It is also a good reflex after coloring in order to “clean” the scalp and restore shine to your colored hair. Result: the color of your hair will be preserved for longer. If you wish to opt for a more natural coloring of the hair, without damaging the scalp, we advise you to favor a vegetable coloring based on henna or dye powder. If you don’t yet know all the benefits of vegetable coloring, you can read our tips and tricks.

How to detoxify your hair?

Detoxifying your hair offers the advantage of being accessible to all hair types: fine, dry, oily… as well as damaged hair. The detox treatment is used before shampooing:

– On dry hair for strong exfoliation
– On wet hair for gentler exfoliation

The detox treatment is applied line by line on the scalp, then in circular massages in order to be more effective and perfectly wrap the hair fiber. Be sure to rinse the treatment thoroughly. To complete the purifying action of the natural detox treatment, it is also possible to make a hair mask based on white clay or pink clay. You can also use your usual mask specific to your hair type. Then apply a shampoo suitable for your hair type and rinse with water.

Don’t have time for your routine? For express use, apply your detox treatment as an exfoliating shampoo then rinse!

Which detoxifying products to choose for your hair?

Like detox skin care, detoxifying hair care must contain natural and specific active ingredients in order to be effective in their role, that is, to exfoliate the scalp and rid it of impurities. Thus, you will find in these products exfoliating ingredients which will eliminate impurities and dead cells, and reactivate microcirculation thanks to the combination of massage. Choose products based on natural active ingredients so as not to strip the scalp (such as organic kiwi seeds).

In order for the detox to be effective, we advise you to combine several natural hair treatments with complementary effects. Centifolia offers you a detox routine in 5 steps to enhance your hair and give it more shine. This beauty routine is suitable for all hair types:

– Step 1 – Exfoliating detox jelly before shampoo: this treatment with natural ingredients is to be applied as a massage 1 to 2 times/week
– Step 2 – Centifolia Shampoo: choose the range according to your needs (softness, nutrition, purifying, volume, anti-dandruff, repairing, shine). If you have colored hair, we recommend the shine shampoo which will preserve the shine of your color.
– Step 3 – Centifolia conditioner according to your needs (softness, volume, restorative, shine)
– Step 4 – Centifolia Mask depending on your Shine or Nutrition needs. The mask is used 1 to 2 times a week, on the lengths or ends, on wet or dry hair, with or without rinsing with water and can be left on for between 5 minutes and overnight depending on the desired effect. We advise you to refer to the instructions for use in order to fully benefit from the benefits of your organic mask. Depending on your preferences, you can also make a mask based on white clay, ideal for dry hair, or pink clay with purifying and softening properties. To repair the hair more intensively, the vegetable oil bath will be your best ally! There are many vegetable oils that have beneficial effects on hair.
– Step 5 – No-rinse shine detangling lotion. To make it easier to detangle your hair and enhance your hairstyle, do not hesitate to reread our advice
