We know what you’re probably thinking – “How can I be washing my hair wrong?” After all, you’ve only been doing it for years! But you might be surprised to learn that the wrong technique can lead to damage or even leave your hair looking greasy. Pretty ironic, huh? From the temperature of the water to how often you shampoo, here’s how to make the most of your cleansing ritual.

Kérastase’s Nutritive and Resistance ranges can help to nourish and repair dry, brittle strands respectively, whilst those with unruly curly hair might want to opt for the anti-frizz, smoothing action of the Discipline line. And if you prefer your hair care as natural as possible, look no further than Kérastase’s Aura Botanica line which is formulated with up to 97% of natural origin ingredients.
How to wash your hair the right way

- Use warm water to open the hair cuticle and rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle and avoid frizz.
