Perfecte, lange lokken. Wie droomt er niet van? Het verzorgen ervan vergt echter wat tijd en geduld! Volg deze 7 stappen om het haar ontzettend lang en gezond te houden.

Step 1: Wash hair with a mild shampoo. Distribute a small amount of shampoo at the roots of the hair and gently massage it in. Then rinse it off, the shampoo will naturally go past the ends of the hair which means the hair needs less shampoo and still gets clean. Use the Redken Natural Science All Soft Shampoo, for example. Free of parabens, silicones and sulphates, this shampoo is focused on softening and moisturising hair.

Step 2: Massage the scalp during hair washing. Massaging gets more blood to the scalp which stimulates hair growth. Of course, it is also lovely and relaxing!

Step 3: Are your long locks dry or frizzy? Then make sure you use the right conditioner for your hair problem. Apply the conditioner evenly and let it soak in for a while. Then rinse it thoroughly. The conditioner ensures that the hair cuticles get a protective layer and the hair becomes silky soft. A very suitable conditioner for dry hair is the SachaJuan Intensive Repair Conditioner. This conditioner makes dry and damaged hair supple again and offers maximum protection against UV radiation.

Step 4: Condition hair intensely with a nourishing hair mask. Use a hair mask once every fortnight for optimal results. Rinse out the mask with cold water to close the hair cuticles. One of our favourites is the Waterclouds Repair Hairbutter. This intensive hair mask leaves extremely dry, damaged hair feeling soft again and gives hair a beautiful shine. Moreover, this hair mask contains Provitamin 5 which provides moisture retention and protection against dehydration.

Step 5: Let hair air dry after washing and gently comb through the hair with a coarse comb when dry. This step is essential to keep long hair strong and beautiful.

Step 6: Once the hair is dry and combed out, you can apply a nourishing hair serum. Distribute a serum or hair oil from halfway down the hair to the ends. A serum or oil protects, softens and nourishes the hair. For this, check out the Redken Oil For All hair oil, for example. This hair oil is suitable for all hair types and makes hair smoother and softer. After use, a radiant shine is visible and hair feels wonderfully soft.

Step 7: When you go to sleep, it is better for long hair to wear it loose. Sleep on and satin pillow to prevent hair breakage. Satin reduces hair damage by reducing friction.

Tips:

1. An egg mask is ideal for long hair. The egg white strengthens the roots and combats hair breakage. Just make sure you rinse the mask cold and thoroughly from the hair.
2. Have hair trimmed every six weeks to prevent further splitting.
3. Eat omega3 fatty acids to keep hair healthy. These good fats are found in avocado, nuts, salmon and flaxseed oil, among others.
