How To Keep Your Hair Longer And Stronger

2. Add A Strengthening Treatment To Your Routine 

The easiest way to help your hair grow faster and stronger? Use a repairing and strengthening leave-in treatment to condition and reverse damage. 

Our repairing ONE-SHOT treatment is a great choice!  Ideal for damaged, colour-treated and over-processed hair, this protein treatment strengthens and repairs thanks to its nourishing formula of creatine, guarana, wheat and silk proteins. With each use, expect hair to look smoother and healthier.  

3. Brush Wet Hair With Care 

When it comes to growing your hair, minimising breakage is key. So, always brush wet and weak tresses carefully.

Start by detangling the ends, then the mid-lengths, then the roots, and avoid brushes with harsh boar bristles. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb or a brush with rounded, plastic prongs and a vented cushioned base. Less damage = longer hair! 

4. Protect Your Tresses From Heat Damage  

Whether you love a bouncy blow-dry or prefer a sleek and chic look, you no doubt use a lot of heat on your hair, potentially causing split-ends, dryness and brittleness. Don’t worry though, a heat protector will shield from heat damage and pave the way for stronger and longer tresses!

Before styling with heat, apply our AQUA PRIMER onto damp, towel-dried hair to prevent damage. This non-sticky primer not only provides heat protection up to 230°C but is infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid to leave hair soft and smooth. You can thank us later!  

5. Swap Out Towels And Pillowcases  

Did you know that drying hair with an ordinary body towel can cause breakage and frizz? Instead, trade in your cotton towel for a T-Shirt or microfibre cloth that is much softer and gentler to prevent friction and long-term damage. 

Another top tip: swap your cotton pillowcases for silk or satin ones. The softer surface causes less friction while you sleep, keeping matted, tangled tresses at bay. Remember, healthier hair leads to longer locks!   

6. Use Gentle Hair Ties 

We love an updo, but coarse hair bobbles and clips can damage the hair shaft through excess rubbing, resulting in frizz and breakage. So, you’ve got 2 options: 

1. Ditch the updo and let your hair down.
2. Switch your regular hair accessories for softer bobbles made of silk or velvet to minimise friction. 

It’ll make all the difference, trust us!

7. Get A Trim  

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: healthier hair leads to longer hair. That’s why (though it may sound counter-intuitive) getting a regular trim is essential. Not only will it remove split ends, but it will leave hair feeling thicker, stronger and healthier too.  

For best results, we recommend getting a cut every 6 to 12 weeks to maintain healthy hair that will seem to grow faster.  

And that’s how to keep your hair longer and stronger! Remember, preventing and reversing damage is key. Discover all of our HAIR CARE ESSENTIALS on our website.
