Hair care is not just about “either home or salon.” The best results are achieved by combining both approaches correctly. Home care is the basis of your daily routine, while salon treatments allow you to achieve deeper results that are difficult to achieve at home. In this article, we will look at what is best for your hair type, when to go to the salon, and when to choose home care to achieve the desired result.
Home care: the basics of healthy hair
Home care is the daily maintenance of healthy hair and scalp. The appearance of your hair depends on the right choice of products and their regular use. However, to achieve the desired result, it is important to consider your hair type and scalp condition.
1. Cleansing the hair and scalp
Proper cleansing is the first step to light, voluminous, and healthy hair. Residues from styling products or excessive use of silicones can weigh down the hair and rob it of its natural volume.
Home solution:
-
Lightweight shampoos for color restoration and protection, such as RepairPro or ChromaCare, gently cleanse the hair and preserve its natural lightness.
-
For deep cleansing, you can use shampoos with amino acids, such as AminoCleanse, to remove styling residue and excess sebum.
2. Restore and nourish hair
Home care helps maintain hair elasticity, especially if it is damaged or colored.
Home solution:
-
Intensive repair masks such as RepairPro or FiberFlex work both on the surface of the hair and inside, moisturizing, thickening, and softening the strands.
-
Leave-in creams and sprays, such as Glossify or VelvetGlow, maintain the water-lipid balance, reduce breakage, and make styling easier.
3. Root volume and texture
To make hair look thicker, you can use light texturizing sprays and drying techniques.
Home solutions:
-
Lightweight root lift sprays, such as SaltBoost or VoluMist, help lift the roots and add texture without weighing hair down.
-
Moisturizing and smoothing sprays, such as SilkMist, make hair manageable and shiny.
It is also important to note that all of these products are available not only in standard sizes for home use, but also in large professional sizes. This allows them to be used in salons to create a professional look and longer-lasting volume.
Salon care: when to turn to a professional
Some tasks are difficult to perform at home, especially if your hair is severely damaged, frequently dyed, or in need of deep restoration. In such cases, professional salon care allows you to achieve results that are difficult to replicate on your own.
1. Deep hair restoration
Home masks and leave-in products support the hair, but are not always able to restore it at the molecular level. Salon systems such as LAvRECOVERY or LAvFUSION Head & Hair SPA: JAPANESE HEAD SPA work deeply:
-
They restore keratin chains and disulfide bonds, which are responsible for hair strength.
-
They regenerate the water-lipid balance, making hair elastic and resilient.
-
They restore shine and natural mobility even to very damaged strands.
2. Scalp care
A healthy scalp is the foundation of strong hair. Salon treatments such as LAvFUSION Head & Hair SPA or LAvHAIR Spa Treatment include:
-
Exfoliation for gentle cleansing of styling product residue and excess sebum.
-
Massage of the scalp, neck, and shoulders to stimulate blood circulation and improve follicle nutrition.
-
Moisturizing and nourishing the entire length of the hair with special masks, serums, and oils.
3. Color stabilization and toning
Salon care helps maintain color by stabilizing it at the molecular level and significantly prolongs its durability. Special shampoos, masks, and cream fluids, such as ChromaCare, protect the pigment from fading and oxidation.
4. Complex coloring techniques
To create trendy color transitions or effects that are difficult to reproduce at home, salon techniques such as Balayage, Ombre, and AirTouch allow you to:
-
Create smooth color transitions that look natural.
-
Protect hair from excessive damage during lightening.
-
Achieve a personalized result that emphasizes your style and face shape.
Home or salon care: how to combine
Many people wonder: which is more effective—daily home care or regular salon treatments? In fact, the best results are achieved when both approaches work together. Home care maintains the effect of salon treatments and helps prevent damage, while salon care solves problems that cannot be solved at home.
What you can do at home
Home care is daily maintenance of the health of your hair and scalp. It keeps your hair elastic, smooth, and shiny, preparing it for styling and professional treatments.
When to go to the salon
Some tasks are difficult to perform at home, especially if your hair is damaged or frequently dyed. Salon care allows you to restore the hair structure at the molecular level, strengthen keratin chains and disulfide bonds, and care for the scalp through peeling, massage, and spa treatments that stimulate hair growth.
