Six Tips for healthy hair based on research

Achieving and maintaining beautiful hair requires a well-rounded and evidence-based hair care routine. By following a few key tips, you can nurture your hair to reach its full potential. We’ve listed six key points to be mindful of when looking after your hair.

Tip One: Gentle Cleansing

Wash your hair 2-3 times a week using a sulfate-free and mild shampoo. Over-washing can strip away natural oils, leading to dryness, while infrequent washing can cause product buildup and clog hair follicles.
