Hair isn't just a decorative element, but also a sign of overall health and well-being. Beautiful, shiny, and strong strands boost self-confidence and improve well-being. It's no wonder, then, that the question "how to care for hair" is one of the most frequently searched questions online. The answer, however, isn't clear-cut – hair care depends on the type, condition, and lifestyle.
In this article, you'll find a comprehensive guide: from the basics of daily hair care, through choosing the right cosmetics for your hair type, to natural ways to strengthen and regenerate your hair. We'll also show you which Orientana products can help you care for your hair in harmony with nature.
Why is it worth taking care of your hair?
Hair is one of the first things we notice when looking at another person. Healthy and well-groomed strands demonstrate not only a commitment to appearance but also a sense of balance within the body. The scalp is a part of the body that requires just as much attention as the skin on our face – neglecting it can lead to hair problems such as brittleness, excessive hair loss, or oiliness.
Regular care allows you to:
- maintain the shine and elasticity of hair,
- prevent mechanical and chemical damage,
- support healthy growth,
- maintain scalp balance.
How to care for your hair every day?
Washing your hair – the foundation of hair care
Proper hair washing is essential. Contrary to appearances, it's not just about cleanliness – a properly selected shampoo affects the condition of the scalp and hair follicles.
- Wash your hair as often as needed – for some people daily, for others every 2-3 days.
- Use lukewarm, not hot, water to avoid drying out your skin.
- Gently massage your scalp with your fingertips to stimulate circulation.
- Rinse the shampoo thoroughly to avoid weighing down your hair.
Use shampoos with good ingredients . Orientana offers trichological shampoos that combine cleansing effectiveness with natural ingredients:
Trycho Lychee Moisturizing Shampoo
Perfect for dry, dull, and lackluster hair, and especially for dry and sensitive scalp. Thanks to lychee extract and inulin, it acts as a prebiotic, supporting the scalp's microbiome.
Ginger and Lemongrass Shampoo
recommended for oily hair, regulates the function of the sebaceous glands and refreshes the scalp.
Jasmine and Almond Shampoo
recommended for delicate, thin hair, giving it volume and flow.
Neem and Green Tea Shampoo
for oily scalp and hair. It gives them freshness and supports anti-dandruff treatments.
Nutrition and hydration
Every hair—regardless of type—needs hydration and nourishment. Three groups of ingredients are key:
- humectants (e.g. hyaluronic acid, glycerin) – bind water in the hair,
- emollients (e.g. vegetable oils) – protect hair against moisture loss,
- proteins (e.g. rice, silk proteins) – rebuild the hair structure.
An excellent product for strong hair nourishment is the Orientana Trycho Lychee Conditioner-Mask , which intensively moisturizes and smoothes the hair, and at the same time is light and does not weigh down the strands.
Protection against damage
Hair's condition is negatively affected by heat, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. Therefore:
- use heat-protective cosmetics before using a straightener or curling iron,
- protect your hair from the sun – e.g. with a hat or protective mist,
- do not rub your hair with a towel, but dry it gently,
- Comb your hair from the ends upwards using natural bristle brushes or wide-toothed combs.
How to care for your hair depending on its type?
Dry and damaged hair
- Regular oiling - I recommend Ayurvedic Therapy
- Apply regenerating masks at least once a week - Trycho Lychee Conditioner Mask
- Avoiding heat styling.
Oily and greasy hair
- Shampoos that regulate sebum secretion (e.g. with Neem and Green Tea ).
- Wash every 1-2 days to avoid overloading the scalp.
- Light conditioners applied only to the lengths.
Curly and wavy hair
- Using Curly Girl Friendly methods – no heavy silicones.
- Strong hydration, styling agents based on natural ingredients.
- Avoid brushes – use your fingers or wide-tooth combs instead.
Dyed hair
- Regenerating and color-preserving cosmetics - I recommend the entire Trycho Lychee line
- Protection against UV rays and chlorinated water.
- Trim the ends regularly.
Natural ways to keep your hair healthy
In addition to cosmetics, it is worth using natural methods:
- Herbs – infusions of nettle, horsetail or amla support hair growth and strengthen the bulbs.
- Oiling – applying hair oil once a week
- Scalp massage – stimulates circulation and oxygenates the hair follicles.
- Diet – rich in protein, iron, zinc and B vitamins
What hair care mistakes should you avoid?
- Washing with hot water, which dries the scalp.
- Too frequent use of straighteners, curling irons and hairdryers.
- Using heavy silicone cosmetics that weigh down the hair.
- Too tight updos that weaken the hair follicles.
- Skipping conditioners and masks.
