A new way of using hair care products

There are many theories about the best way to use hair care products. Some of them are accurate, some are not. What to believe? At Utiee we care for our customers, therefore, we carefully check the information before we write about something. So in this article, we would like to give you a few significant tips on how to improve your hair care routine.

You should apply a hair mask before the conditioner.

Why? Because the conditioner closes the porosity of hair cuticles and the mask can not penetrate deeply into the hair structure. Conditioner has a positive influence on penetration of moisture into hair (it acts as a moisturizer) but it does not provide deep mechanical conditioning like masks do. To achieve better results you should always apply the mask after shampoo and then follow with the conditioner.

Conditioning products do not repair the hair, they only conceal the damage.

Conditioners patch and hydrate the outer layer of the hair without repairing it. It provides only a temporary fix, the deeper damage is still there. We can compare a conditioner to a consiler, that only hides the spots, but does not help you to get rid of them.Conditioning products artificially repair broken bonds, acting as a hard glue temporary reconnect. That is why you should use a hair mask before the conditioner. If you apply the conditioner first it will close hair cuticles and the mask would not be able to penetrate deep. Because they wash out the repair will wear down over time, leaving the hair weak and lifeless. Conditioners and styling products make the hair more manageable but do nothing to address or repair the damage to renew strength and elasticity — or the look and feel of genuinely healthy hair.

Using less hair product is better for your hair.

Are you surprised? Yes, we are not joking. It is true! Our mentality is more product - better result. But in reality, it works another way. Often when we use too much hair oil or overhold the conditioner our hair looks greasy. Too much hair product could overweight the hair and it could lead to hair breakage.

Professional hair care products are designed in a way that you do not need to use a lot of them.

For example, one pump of Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is enough for fine or short hair. Two pumps are good for medium or shoulder-length hair. Three pumps - for long or thick hair. Do not overuse hair care products. Think about also how it affects the environment.  

Less product is more for your hair and the planet!
