Hydrate and take care of your hair

To repair and nourish dry hair and restore its suppleness and shine, you need to care for and moisturize it with the right products. At René Furterer, we offer several products designed for dry hair, like those in the Sublime Karité range:

• Moisturizing smoothing shampoo: With its formula specially designed to bring moisture to dry hair and limit frizz, this shampoo is enriched with Shea Butter and also contains Ceramides. It will leave your hair soft and nourished.
• Taming nourishing mask: Once a week or so, you can add an extra touch of moisture to your routine with this mask. René Furterer's mask is perfect for dry, weakened hair, as it penetrates deep down to nourish and strengthen the hair fiber for the long term.
• Professional smoothing milk: To be applied before using any heated appliance, such as a hair dryer or straightener, this milk helps create a protective barrier around your hair to limit heat damage, and therefore dehydration.

Adopting the right habits

Choosing the right hair products to care for your dry hair is an essential step, but it's not the only thing you can do to restore its vitality. Let us give you a few more tips:

• Space your washes: Washing your hair too often can rob it of its natural moisture and also dry out the scalp. Ideally, you should space out your shampoos as much as possible, and limit yourself to one or two washes a week.
• Rinse with lukewarm water: water that's too hot can cause hair scales to open and moisture to be lost, while water that's too cold can be harsh on the scalp. So prefer lukewarm water for your washes.
• Dry gently: Instead of rubbing your hair vigorously in a towel, dab it gently with a microfiber towel to remove excess water. For drying, prefer air drying to blow-drying.
• Use wide-toothed combs and brushes: Fine-toothed combs and brushes can break hair, especially if it's already dry and fragile. Use wide-toothed combs for gentle detangling.

Protect your hair at night: When you sleep, your hair rubs against the pillowcase, getting tangled and damaged. To avoid this, you can braid your hair, wear a silk cap or opt directly for a silk pillowcase.

Hairstyle ideas for dry hair

Dry hair is more fragile and can easily break, which is why certain hairstyles may not be suitable. Here are a few hairstyle ideas that you can totally pull off without further damaging your hair:

• Loose braids: Pretty and less tight than traditional braids, these are a great option for protecting your hair and avoiding excessive tension on it, while creating an elegant, feminine hairstyle.
• The low chignon: A low, relaxed chignon is also a very elegant alternative, as it doesn't exert tension on the hair fiber, making it less likely to break.
• Low ponytail: As with the low chignon, this alternative is perfect for creating a beautiful hairstyle without the risk of putting too much tension on already fragile hair.

Whatever hairstyle you choose, the ideal is to opt for something loose enough not to compress or pull the hair.
