welcome to Lotus Hair Salon
Keeping your hair healthy isn’t just about what products you use — it’s about how you use them. If your goal is to keep damage to a minimum, especially if you’ve got dry, coloured, or heat-styled hair, this routine will help you get that balance between clean and protected.
Before you even turn the shower on, apply a small amount of lightweight hair oil (like argan or coconut) or even a rinse-out conditioner to your mid-lengths and ends.
This creates a protective barrier so shampoo won’t strip away too much moisture.
Shampoo is for your scalp, not your ends.
Wet your hair thoroughly.
Dilute a small amount of shampoo with water.
Massage gently into your scalp using your fingertips.
Let the suds run down your lengths while rinsing — that’s all the cleaning your ends need.
This root-only method helps avoid dryness and breakage in the more fragile parts of your hair.
After shampooing, lightly squeeze excess water out of your hair.
Apply conditioner (or a hair mask once or twice a week) to the mid-lengths and ends only.
Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
This step hydrates and smooths the cuticle, making your hair easier to detangle and style.
Once your hair is about 70% dry, apply a few drops of hair oil or serum to the lengths and ends.
This will:
Lock in moisture
Reduce frizz
Add shine
Protect against heat styling
(Optional) Pre-Treatment → Shampoo Roots Only → Conditioner/Hair Mask on Mid-Lengths & Ends → Post-Wash Oil or Serum
Stick to this method consistently, and your hair will be cleaner at the scalp, softer at the ends, and far less prone to breakage.
Following this minimal-damage hair wash routine will work wonders, but nothing beats professional care. Treat your hair to expert styling, deep treatments, and personalised advice at Lotus Hair Salon.
