What is a hair detox treatment?

If you notice your hair has lost its shine, gets oily and/or irritated easily, the solution is a Hair Detox: an effective, simple treatment that's easy to include in your hair care ritual.

Discover today the secret behind the most innovative hair detox method to get your hair in top shape. Learn how to free your hair from impurities and enjoy it every day.

What does a hair detox treatment involve?

It's a treatment designed to deep-cleanse the scalp and hair, removing both the impurities that build up on the scalp and the residue on the hair: environmental pollutants, excess oil, and leftover treatment, care or styling products.

This type of treatment aims to bring wellbeing to the scalp and reset the hair fibre, so that any treatment you apply afterwards — for hair loss, intensive repair or even colouring — works better.

Who can benefit from a hair detox?

Many people experience certain scalp and hair problems and can benefit from this treatment.

• People who regularly use styling products such as hairspray, gel, oils... This treatment will stop residue from building up on the scalp and hair, which over time can irritate, weigh hair down and dull its shine.
• Anyone with an oily scalp: with this treatment, they'll be able to go longer between washes.
• People who suffer from dandruff or an itchy scalp will find their itching and irritation reduced.
• People who use hair loss lotions, as these can leave residue and this treatment can help the product penetrate better.
• People looking for their hair's natural volume, sometimes lost through a build-up of oil and impurities.

How do you do a hair detox?

At Modesta Cassinello we recommend applying H07 Sea Salt Shampoo, a very innovative shampoo you can use for your detox treatment, effectively and gently removing impurities, oil, sweat and/or styling products, for a healthy scalp and soft, radiant hair.

It's a shampoo that contains salt granules which, together with its other ingredients, remove oil and styling residue effectively while respecting the scalp. It also improves root volume and hair texture.

The detox treatment starts by applying H07 Sea Salt Shampoo to thoroughly wet hair, emulsifying the shampoo in the palm of your hands before applying it to the roots. In this article you can read all our tips for getting the perfect wash.

Once rinsed, we always recommend conditioning your hair with H04 Revitalizing Conditioner, a conditioner that gives your hair softness, shine and protection. This conditioner is suitable for all hair types and doesn't make hair dirty, weigh it down or take away volume.

If you have a colour or keratin treatment and are worried a detox treatment might damage your hair, always use a pre-shampoo treatment before washing with H07 Sea Salt Shampoo. This pre-shampoo treatment will give the lengths of your hair extra protection and let you enjoy the feeling of wellbeing on your scalp that you're looking for.

When should you do a hair detox?

How often you do this detox treatment matters, and it will depend on your scalp and hair type, your lifestyle and the products you usually use in your care ritual.

Weekly use is generally recommended, but it can be applied more often in cases of very active seborrhoea or daily use of strong-hold styling products.
