If it is necessary to choose a treatment according to the needs of your hair, it is important to use it as intended to achieve the maximum effect.

Careful application
“Today, hair care products are more and more effective and no longer require a longer application time,” says the professional. “On the other hand, you must devote yourself to a careful ritual and use the time to apply your treatment. For this, Hovig Etoyan recommends drying the hair with a towel between the shampoo and the treatment to remove excess water and allow the treatment to work in depth. “Then apply strand by strand from lengths to ends and work in with your fingers for a few minutes.” Once this step is complete, simply rinse the product thoroughly. His final recommendation for keeping his mane healthy? Never forget heat protection when using heating tools. “Extreme heat is your hair’s worst enemy,” she warns. We note.
