How to style your hair? The 7 tips to keep in mind
So how to manage the most rebellious hair? «In seven stepswhich include a pre-shampoo phase and end with the right hair dryer temperature », as he recommends Tommaso Incamicia, hairstylist for Davines and owner of the “My Place Hair Studio” salon in Milan.

1. The pre-shampoo treatment: brush and skin massage
Indeed, a dry and dirty hair, massage the skin: «The massage can also take place brushing the hair and scalp very well, with a bristle brush. This action reactivates the subcutaneous microcirculation, thus allowing you to better manage the sebum (whether it is little or in excess, whether in the presence of dry or oily skin) and to remove the hair that has already fallen out. Brushing well is definitely needed before entering the shower, “explains the expert.
Also, “If your hair has been well brushed dry before entering the shower, you may not need to brush it wet. For curly hair, the advice is never to comb it wet, but dry. Water, in general, runs the risk of tying the hair; it creates a sort of “forcing”. That’s why it would be better to untangle your hair in the shower with your hands only ».
2. Be careful to choose the right shampoo
As Incamicia points out, choosing the right hair cleanser is the basis of everything; this in fact not only must take care of the entire hair but above all of the skin.
A healthy scalp is balancedclean and “degreased” if needed, as the hairstylist explains: “The follicle (therefore all the part that welcomes the hair) “lives” much better and therefore fewer falls, dehydration and weakening result. Result, the whole hair looks more beautiful. This is why the choice of shampoo is the basis and I always recommend investing slightly more in it by choosing innovative formulations ».
3. Never too hot a temperature
In the shower it is essential avoid too high a water temperaturenot suitable for hair but also for skin.
In particular, too high temperatures damage the hair dry, curly ones and hair tending to frizz, as the heat further opens the scales, with the result of making the hair ugly.
4. Conditioner, apply it correctly
The conditioner helps the hair if it has been brushed well before.
However, it is essential to apply it correctly: “Never massage it on the skin, because it re-fattens it by unbalancing it. Just little produced by apply starting from the tips, going up towards the skin without touching it and distributing it with your hands »explains Incamicia.
5. Warm towel and pat away the water by rubbing
“When you get out of the shower, pat the hair with a towel trying not to rub, but to rub and massage. This is important because, with the mechanical friction that is generated, the hair could wrinkle.
Before entering the shower, I recommend placing the towel on a radiator (which will only be used on the hair) so that it warms up enough.
When you get out of the shower, with the hood of the bathrobe you will dab your hair and remove the excess water, while with the hot towel placed on the heater they will wrap your hair on your head. At that point, I recommend massaging the head without rubbing, to eliminate all excess water even on the skin and hair ».
6. The importance of heat protectors and a pre-hairdryer hair routine
At this point we start with the pre-hairdryer hair routine. Or, a must is the application of a thermal protector, so as to protect the foliage from temperatures that are too highfollowed by a specific product for your needs.
«If the hair needs hydration, the nourishing creams are excellent; if it requires a volume-reducing action, disciplining creams are perfect. Choosing the right products means being at an excellent step in managing a good style at home. With a good cut, a good color and the right products you just need to dry! ».
7. No to high temperatures
It is not just a whim, but a fact: too hot and strong air ripples, makes the hair electric and re-knots the hair. In short, it ruins the hair.
Better therefore to focus on the middle life: medium temperature and strength so as not to attack the hair too muchconcludes the expert.
