What is the difference between home hair care and salon hair care? How to choose according to the situation
How conditioner, masks and salon treatments differ, and how to choose based on daily upkeep, damage level, colour or perm needs and results.
Home hair care and salon hair care do not replace each other, but play different roles. The focus of home care is stable maintenance after each shampoo; in salon services, the stylist can first observe the hair condition and then choose appropriate treatment methods and usage steps.
What is suitable for home hair care?
Conditioners, masks, no-rinse treatments and oils can be used according to product instructions to help with daily grooming, reduce friction and improve feel. The point is not to use more, the better; if you use too much, fine hair may become flat or feel heavy.
The difference between salon hair care
Salon hair care usually assesses hair thickness, dry areas, dyeing and perming history, and current needs before arranging products and procedures. It can improve the immediate feel and organization, but it cannot permanently restore split or broken hair to its original state, nor can it replace subsequent home care.
In which situations can we do the situation assessment first?
- After bleaching and dyeing, the ends of the hair tend to become tangled and dry.
- The curl is difficult to manage after perming or the hair lacks elasticity.
- The more product I apply, the more frizzy or flat my hair becomes.
- Not sure if the problem is from natural curls, damage or incorrect blowing.
Basic principles of daily hair care
After washing, use a towel to gently absorb water and do not rub vigorously; comb the ends of your hair first and then upwards; do not blow at too high a temperature and avoid repeated use of hot tools on the same area. Concentrate hair care products on the mid-lengths and ends of hair where they are needed, avoiding areas of the scalp that do not require oil.
