Hair Care Academy

Build a routine for natural hair and hair systems: cleansing, conditioning, scalp health and the products worth buying.

22 minutesBeginner3 lessons

Overview

Most hair problems in India come down to three things: hard water, heat and the wrong cleanser. A simple, consistent routine outperforms an expensive, inconsistent one.

This course covers routine building for natural hair and for hair-system wearers, whose scalp needs differ because of adhesive contact.

What you will learn

  • Read an ingredient list and spot harsh sulphates and drying alcohols
  • Build a weekly routine for your hair type and climate
  • Care for the scalp under a bonded hair system
  • Choose products that will not degrade adhesives or lace

Lessons

  1. Lesson 1

    Reading the label

    7 min

    What matters and what is marketing.

    Sulphate-free cleansers protect colour and adhesive bonds. Silicones give slip but build up; clarify monthly. Look for humectants for dry climates and proteins only every third wash.

  2. Lesson 2

    Building a weekly routine

    8 min

    Wash days, treatments and heat.

    Two to three washes a week suits most Indian climates, with one deep conditioning treatment and heat protection whenever tools are used.

  3. Lesson 3

    Scalp care under a hair system

    7 min

    Preventing folliculitis and irritation.

    Cleanse the exposed perimeter daily, remove all adhesive residue at every service, and give the scalp a bond-free rest day whenever possible.

FAQs

Can I use normal shampoo on a hair system?
No. Sulphates and heavy conditioners break down adhesive bonds and dry the knots. Use a sulphate-free, system-safe cleanser.
How do I deal with hard water?
Install a shower filter, use a chelating shampoo once a month, and finish with a cool rinse.
