How to keep your hair clean for longer

Rinse well

It seems simple but many times we do it out of inertia and without thinking. If we leave residue on the hair, it is logical that it ends up getting dirty before its time, so spend a couple of minutes doing it thoroughly. It is best to rinse one last time with cold water to close the cuticle and thus avoid frizz.

Avoid silicones

It is true that they make the hair more manageable but they also cause it to get dirty sooner and are also harmful to the environment.

Clean your brushes
