Building a wash-day routine for healthier hair
A simple, repeatable wash day does more than any single miracle product.
Healthy hair is mostly rhythm: washing on a cadence that suits your scalp, conditioning where it counts, and protecting length from heat. Build the sequence once and it becomes muscle memory.
The sequence
Start with a clean base — a sulfate-free wash like Redken All Soft Shampoo — then a weekly mask such as Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask. On styling days, a few drops of Moroccanoil Treatment smooths and protects, and a heat protectant before any hot tool is non-negotiable.
Cadence beats intensity
Most people over-wash. Find your interval — every two, three, or four days — and let your scalp settle into it. Cadence tracks your wash days and nudges the next one, so the routine runs itself.
