This guide is designed for individuals dealing with dry, damaged, over-processed, or breaking hair. Whether your hair has been affected by heat styling, relaxers, bleaching, or environmental stress, this step-by-step routine will help you recover strength, softness, and shine using targeted products from The Haircare Shop.
Step 1: Assess Your Hair Condition
Before starting, determine the main issue your hair is facing:
- Excessive breakage or split ends
- Dryness and frizz
- Loss of elasticity
- Dullness and lack of shine
- Thinning or excessive shedding
Identifying your symptoms will help you focus on the right areas during your recovery routine..
Step 2: Cleanse With Purpose
Product: Rooibos Shampoo
Why: Damaged hair needs gentle cleansing. Sulphates strip natural oils and make brittle hair worse. Our Rooibos Shampoo cleans without harsh chemicals, removes buildup, and soothes the scalp.
How to Use:
- Wet hair thoroughly with lukewarm water (avoid hot water – it dries out the scalp).
- Apply a small amount of Rooibos Shampoo to the scalp.
- Massage gently using your fingertips for 1–2 minutes to stimulate circulation.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- If needed, repeat once more for heavy buildup.
Pro Tip: Always rinse with lukewarm to cool water to keep the hair cuticle closed and reduce frizz.
Step 3: Deep Conditioning Treatment
Product: Keratin Silk Masque
Why: This step is critical. Hair that’s weak or chemically damaged needs keratin to rebuild its protein structure. Our Keratin Silk Masque restores elasticity, reduces frizz, and makes hair more manageable after the first use.
How to Use (Deep Treatment Method):
- Towel-dry your hair after shampooing.
- Apply a generous amount of the masque from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid the scalp if it’s oily.
- Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly.
- Cover your hair with a shower cap or warm towel.
- Leave the masque on for 20–30 minutes for deep penetration.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Frequency: Use 1–2 times per week during the recovery phase.
Step 4: Scalp Treatment and Hair Growth Support
Product: Premium Hair Growth Oil
Why: Damaged hair often comes with a neglected or irritated scalp. Our Growth Oil stimulates follicles, increases blood flow, and supports healthy hair growth.
How to Use (Night Routine):
- Section your hair and apply a few drops directly onto the scalp.
- Massage gently using circular motions for 3–5 minutes.
- Leave it in overnight (tie your hair in a silk scarf to protect your pillow).
- Wash out the next morning using Rooibos Shampoo.
Alternative (Day Routine): Apply a few drops to the scalp and ends, leave it in as a lightweight scalp mask for 2–4 hours before rinsing.
Frequency: 2–3 times per week.
Step 5: Daily Moisture Maintenance
Product Pairing: Rooibos Conditioner + Small amount of Premium Hair Growth Oil
Why: Recovery doesn’t stop after deep treatments. Daily moisture keeps hair flexible and reduces further breakage.
How to Use:
- After shampooing (or in between washes), apply Rooibos Conditioner to wet or damp hair.
- Focus on the mid-lengths and ends.
- Leave on for 3–5 minutes.
- Rinse well.
- After rinsing, apply 2–3 drops of Growth Oil to your ends to lock in moisture.
Leave-in Tip: You can also use a pea-sized amount of the Keratin Silk Masque as a leave-in on damp hair to smooth frizz.
Step 6: Protective Styling & Heat Avoidance
Why: After your treatment routine, protect your progress. Minimize heat tools and friction. Always use satin or silk bonnets while sleeping.
Tips:
- Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on roots.
- Use protective styles (braids, buns) with minimal tension.
- If heat is necessary, use low heat and always apply a heat protectant.
Step 7: Consistency Over Quick Fixes
Hair recovery takes time. You may see immediate softness and shine after one masque treatment, but full restoration can take 4–8 weeks of consistent care.
Track Your Progress:
- Take photos every 2 weeks.
- Monitor breakage, shine, softness, and scalp health.
- Adjust usage based on how your hair responds.
