L'Occitane's Guide To Healthy Hair
TIPS TO TACKLE YOUR HAIR CONCERN
A guide to shiny, fresh and thick hair. Your hair is a great way to express who you are and, like the rest of your body, your hair is vulnerable to wear and tear, damage and dryness. The winter season can affect your hair, with dry air making your hair static and the cold giving it a flat appearance. Treat your hair well and it will radiate.
6 STEPS TO SHINY HAIR
Hair Care Experts say that often the reason people have dull, dry hair is simply because they don’t wash their hair properly.
To keep your hair at its shiniest, follow this hair washing routine:
- Wet your hair with the warmest water possible, in order to open the cuticle layer.
- Apply shampoo and massage it into your scalp using the pads of your fingers.
- Rinse with cold water in order to seal the cuticle layer.
- Squeeze out the remaining water before applying conditioner.
- Massage conditioner into the ends of your hair and rinse thoroughly.
- Blot your hair dry, do not rub or wring it, your hair is at its weakest when wet!
For Oily & Dull Hair
HOW TO REVIVE OILY SCALP
Does your hair need a little reviving and freshening up? Treat oily scalp with the Aromachologie Purifying hair care range. Combining the revitalising properties of five essentials oils with the purifying power of a plant-based vinegar to help eliminate built-up residue that suffocates the hair and rebalance excess sebum (oil) to leave your hair cleaner for longer, with a soft and shiny finish.
- Before shampooing, apply the Purifying Hair Scalp Scrub and gently massage the scalp for 3 minutes to activate microcirculation, then rinse.
- Apply Purifying Shampoo on the scalp only.

For Thicker Hair
HOW TO ADD VOLUME & THICKNESS
Fine hair? Lack of volume? Hair fall due to breakage? Our Volume & Strength hair care range gives strength & volume to fine, fragile and thinning hair. Its formulas combine five stimulating essential oils with strengthening amino acids, which act to help strengthen the hair fibre, coat the hair and reduce hair fall due to breakage.

Everyday Hair Care Tips
Dry Hair Enemies
Your hair is very sensitive, and if it undergoes a lot of stress, it can actually begin to break and lose its suppleness. Your hair is most damaged by heat and dryness—crimpers, hair curlers, hair straighteners, dyes and colouring, excessive and overly hot blow drying, and even sunlight dry out and damage your hair.
Avoid hair styling appliances that apply heat directly onto your hair, or don’t use them daily.
Brushing Your Hair Safely
- Choose a hard rubber brush, or a brush with a rounded cushion, to avoid hair from being tangled into the bristles.
- If your hair is tangled, do not try to brush out the knot from the root. Focus on the knotted part and brush it out directly, otherwise you’ll just be knotting your hair even more.
- Always brush with a gentle touch, don’t pull or twist your hair too much, especially if you blow dry it.
- When in doubt, ask your hairdresser for what he or she thinks is the brush most suited for you
Reverse Cleansing For Greasy Hair
- Apply a hair mask onto your hair before washing it, to add the benefits of your own hair oil to the product’s benefits. Wrap your hair in a warm towel to open the dried out cuticle layer more easily and help lock the moisture in.
- Apply shampoo to your hair without rinsing the mask, to prevent your hair from drying out too much.
- Apply conditioner onto the ends of your hair.
