1. Detox for your scalp
After countless days at the lake or sea, residues from salt, chlorine, sunscreen, and styling products build up. These stress the scalp and prevent care products from working properly.
A gentle detox shampoo or clarifying cleanser is ideal now. It removes buildup, refreshes the scalp, and allows your hair to breathe again.
Tip: Massage your shampoo in thoroughly with your fingertips or a scalp brush – this stimulates blood circulation and promotes healthy hair growth.
Product recommendation: Desert Essence Clarifying Shampoo – perfect for washing out all the unnecessary residue after the summer.

2. Pure moisture: the hair mask
Sun and heat strip hair of one thing above all else: moisture . To combat dryness and frizz, you need a rich hair mask that penetrates deep into the hair fiber.
Our favorites from the shop:
A lightweight, plant-based mask that repairs damaged hair, deeply moisturizes, and creates soft, defined curls. Especially suitable for all hair types.
With shea butter and Manuka honey, perfect for very dry, damaged hair. Ideal for thick, dry hair or hair types 3c–4c.
💡 Tip: Leave the mask on for at least 20 minutes to give your hair an extra moisture boost after the summer.

3. Lock in nutrients with oils
Moisture alone isn't enough—you need to seal it into your hair. Light plant oils like jojoba, argan, or coconut help smooth the hair's surface and keep it soft.
Here's how:
- Put a few drops of oil into the palms of your hands
- Work into the lengths and ends
- If your hair is very dry, you can also apply an oil treatment overnight and wash it out the next day.

4. Overnight protection
Often forgotten, but extremely important: nighttime care . While you sleep, your hair rubs against your pillow, tangles, breaks off, and dries out.
How to protect your curls while you sleep:
- Tie them loosely in a pineapple shape at the top of your head.
- Use a satin scrunchie instead of a regular hair tie.
- Sleep on a satin pillowcase to reduce friction on your hair.
The result : less frizz, more beautiful curls in the morning and healthier hair in the long term.

5. Make your care a ritual
Hair care isn't just functional—it can also be self-care . Take a little time out: apply a mask, light a candle, warm your hair with a thermal cap while you read or meditate.
This way, “ caring for your hair” becomes a real ritual for yourself.

Your evening routine
How to protect your curls overnight
A good night care routine is crucial to maintain your curl structure and prevent hair breakage.
Satin pillowcase : Avoid friction that can lead to frizz and breakage. Satin is gentle on your hair and skin.
Satin bonnet or satin scrunchie : Loosely tie your hair into a pineapple braid (high braid) with a soft scrunchie or wear a satin bonnet. This will protect your curls and help define them overnight.

Morning routine
Refresh curls with the water spray bottle
In the morning, you don't need a complete wash day ritual – here's how to quickly get your curls back into shape:
- Spray water: Lightly moisten your hair with water from a spray bottle. You can also mix the water with a small amount of leave-in conditioner for extra care and easier combing.
- Scrunch curls: Gently press your curls together from bottom to top (scrunch) to revive the natural structure
- Styling finish: Apply a small amount of Curl Enhancing Smoothie or Curl Defining Gel to the lengths – for shine, hold and frizz-free definition
