How to Care For Longer Hair

Cascading from a brilliant woman’s head to whatever length she pleases, her long hair seems an extension of herself. The longer it is, the longer it’s been with her, holding her secrets.
There is something iconic about long hair. Mythical even.


However, growing hair out comes with it's difficulties. Hair springs from the living scalp and hangs on until it’s cut, breaks off or sheds. It is dead, but its finest specimens appear very much alive, a feat achieved only with proper, consistent care over time.


But when you get right down to it, hair is organic matter. It has practical functions beyond just bewitching anyone who walks by, such as insulation and protection.






Discover how to care for long hair with Kerastase, broken down into sections & highlighting necessary care for each stage as it grows to your desired length.

01- Scalp

It all starts with a healthy scalp. There is actually hair that you can’t see, still alive, already growing below the surface of the skin. As the hair’s foundation and vital source, the scalp must stay healthy to produce strong, long hair. Regular head massages featuring the serum extentioniste scalp & hair serum will make sure the scalp is activated and producing healthy hair.

02-Roots

Closest to the scalp, the roots are the “newest” portion of the hair. Usually quite healthy naturally, the hair root can become oily or prematurely dry without the proper products. Focusing bain extentioniste shampoo here and keeping Conditioners and Hair Masks about an inch away from the roots will help balance this area of the hair.

03-Mid-Lenghts

By the time hair grows a few inches away from the roots, it is several months old. Exposure to the elements, environmental pollutants and styling can begin to take their toll. This is the point where proper daily care is crucial if the hair is to make it to a long length and remain healthy. Concentrate fondant extensioniste conditioner or masque extentioniste hair mask here for extra strength.

04-Ends

Often a problem area, the ends of your hair have been with you the longest. They are the most likely to break, split or become dry and sensitized. Proper care and conservative trimming will keep even the long hair from developing split ends. On an impeccably healthy head of hair, the ends match the roots in thickness and radiance. The way to achieve this goal is to visit your hairdresser for regular trims to avoid split ends. Use Protocole Extensioniste hair care to boost growth and maintain long hair health from roots to ends.






Extentioniste Hair Care Routine

The Extentioniste routine targets roots, lengths and ends. It stimulates the scalp, then gently detangles lengths while reinforcing and finally sealing ends for hair that is as full and strong at the tips as it is at the root. Your hair is fortified with no split ends and no breakage.
