Finding the right one for your own hair type from the huge pool of haircare products is not that easy. Which of these do we actually need? What do you have to consider in the care routine? The fact is: it takes a tailor-made program for the mane so that it can reach its top form. That's how it works!
How do I take care of dry hair?
The sebum film that surrounds healthy hair is too thin and the hair is not supplied with sufficient oil. Chemical clubs also dry it out. In either case, the cuticle does not fit, moisture is lost and the mane becomes rough.
Shampooing properly:
Oils in shampoo are a must, they replace sebum. Other moisturizing ingredients are, for example, panthenol, keratin, aloe vera and algae. Shampoo only at the roots, because too much product can dry out the tips. They get enough care by showering from top to bottom.
Maintain properly:
Rinse the shampoo or conditioner with cold water. This closes the hair structure and provides shine. A good conditioner is a mix of moisture and fatty substances that puts a film around the hair, i.e. smooths the outer cuticle. This is also noticeable in the easier combing. By the way, leave-in goodies, which nourish and seal the hair during the day, are advisable.
Tips & Styling:
Avoid drying products with alcohol and let a rich mask work once a week. Do not use heat when styling. It is best to distribute a good oil in the lengths and braid a braid. It shines nicely, the mane is cared for, and the next day you have chic beach waves! (You want to wake up to beach waves every day? Read more here!)

How do I treat oily hair?
If there is excess sebum, the oil gets from the scalp into the hair faster and makes it look stringy. The increased sebum production can be genetic, but also hormonal.
Shampooing properly:
Often with greasy hair, one has the urge to wash daily. Resist this better, otherwise the sebum production will be stimulated even more. You can escape the vicious circle by washing less often. Believe us, your hair will quickly get used to the new rhythm. Better bridge the day with dry shampoo, or just rinse your hair with lukewarm water to feel good. By the way, gentle shampooing is the order of the day. Too much pressure stimulates sebum production. And: Rinse out more often until all of the grease residues are washed out. Beware of deep cleansing shampoos! They dry out the scalp, which leads to greasing up even faster. Better to use mild products.
Maintain properly:
Use rinses sparingly and ideally only work into the tips. Rinse lukewarm. Never too cold or warm, because one or the other extreme also stimulates fat production.
Tips & Styling:
Our insider tip: A tonic for the scalp! Massage in gently and sebum production will be regulated. Air drying instead of offending the scalp with heat also helps. And: Do not run through your hair so often, this will delay re-greasing. The best solution: tie your hair in a strict bun. It's en vogue anyway! Here you can find even more hairstyles that hide a greasy approach.

How do I fix fine hair?
Because of little hair! With a diameter of 0.04 mm, fine hair is simply under the cut (normal: 0.05 to 0.07 mm) and appears less voluminous. Usually this is hereditary. The hair length is the same, by the way - find out more here.
Shampooing properly:
Massage the shampoo in vigorously with your fingertips, this promotes blood circulation. Rule of thumb: Rinse three times as long as shampoo, so that no residue can weigh the hair down. Use a strengthening, restorative shampoo that gives volume and strengthens the hair structure, as the polymers coat every hair and make it appear thicker. Important ingredients for thin hair are proteins and ceramides, which improve the structure and fill the gaps between the horny cells.
Maintain properly:
Less is more. Too much conditioner makes hair difficult and flattened. Tip: Let the conditioner work in length first. Then shampoo. In this way, excess, cumbersome residues are safely rinsed out. Incidentally, overcare is not possible with the ingredient panthenol. The hair absorbs as much of it as it needs. Liquid keratin (often found in spray cures) penetrates the outer covering of the hair and strengthens it.
Tips & Styling:
Volume foam is part of styling. Apply to damp hair and blow dry with the round brush. Always in the opposite direction in which you want to wear your hair. Even easier: change the parting. That adds volume to the approach! Must-have: Texture spray that gives the mane more grip and makes it look fuller!
We recommend:
"Extreme Shampoo" from Redken nourishes with proteins, for more grippy and easy-to-style hair: Thickening Spray Pre-Styler "from Bumble and Bumble, round brush from Bipa or dm.
How do I tie tight hair?
We all want thick, strong hair (more than 0.08 mm in diameter). But it's often too much, too lackluster, too frizzy and irrepressible. With the right products, however, you can keep it supple, silky and get it under control!
Shampooing properly:
To wash, take the hair lengths up and shampoo all of the hair in circular motions. Rinse off warm so that the hair structure remains open for care. In any case, the shampoo should be moisturizing so that annoying frizz and stubborn hair can be counteracted. The milder the laundry, the better. Intense, aggressive shampoos clean, but dry out the hair and make thick hair even more difficult to handle.
Maintain properly:
If you have firm hair, conditioner can be combed generously with your fingertips from the scalp to the tips. A rinse after each wash or a leave-in treatment should never be skipped. Thick hair needs extra care. Combing afterwards works smoothly - in the truest sense of the word.
Tips & Styling:
A special serum is kneaded into damp hair, makes it smooth, supple and ensures a faster drying process. Styling with the round brush is always cool! It's easier with an electrically rotating round brush. This smoothes the horny layer, the mane becomes shinier. But hardly any time for dressing up? Then tie a high ponytail. Only women with thick hair can wear the look. Style upgrade à la Bella Hadid: imitate a hair band with the front strands. Really cool!
