Do you want to have a “good hair day” every day?
Do you dream of healthy, shiny, and strong hair? The key is a properly created hair routine that suits the needs of your hair and scalp. In this article, hairdresser Filip Štancl will advise you on which steps should not be missing in your care, how to choose the right products, and how to recognize exactly what your hair needs — hydration, nourishment, or protection.
Why is a hair routine important?
A regular, comprehensive routine tailored to the needs of your hair — that’s how a hair routine should be.
"Otherwise, we often only deal with the consequences — frizz, breakage, or loss of volume — instead of systematically nourishing and protecting the hair," explains the hairdresser.
What does a proper hair routine bring?
- Strengthens hair fibers and helps prevent damage and other problems such as dandruff or split ends.
- Keeps the scalp healthy and thus supports hair growth.
- Provides nourishment and hydration to the hair.
- Affects the appearance of hair and gives it shine and radiance.

Step-by-step hair routine
The basic steps of a hair routine are always the same, regardless of your hair type. The key is not the amount of products but their proper selection and order.
We all know it — when we don't wash our hair for a while, sebum and other impurities accumulate on the scalp, making hair greasy and limp. A quality shampoo is therefore an essential item. You'll recognize it by its ability to remove impurities so that subsequent care can be better absorbed, while not drying out hair and scalp, preserving their natural oils.
Hairdresser’s tip: Choose shampoo based on your scalp type, not hair length.
Care
Conditioner, hair mask, or leave-in care support softness and elasticity of the hair, replenish hydration, and make detangling easier. In case of damage, they also help regenerate hair.
Hairdresser’s tip: Choose conditioner based on the type and condition of your hair fiber — whether it’s fine or strong, colored, damaged, or natural.
Hair protection
Every day hair is exposed to sunlight, wind, environmental impurities, high temperatures from styling tools, and many other factors with negative effects. Therefore, hair needs protection. Heat protection is essential, and you should always use it when handling curling irons, straighteners, or blow dryers. Products with SPF act as a shield against the sun, and wearing a hat or other head covering helps too.
Leave-in Conditioner Mist
Leave-in mist offers hair several benefits — hydrates, adds softness and natural shine, protects against heat and UV rays, and also eases detangling.
Molecular Repair Hair Oil
A dry oil with a light formula repairs damage leading to frizz, adds shine, fights split ends, and controls flyaway hair.Hair styling
With styling products, you can create almost any hairstyle and ensure your desired shape, volume, and hold. However, don’t choose products just by the result you want — consider your hair type as well.
"Fine hair needs light textures, while strong hair benefits from richer products that tame it," says Filip Štancl.

Now you know that hair care and styling products should be chosen according to your hair type and condition. But what exactly does that mean? Several important factors play a role.
Hair type
Hair can be divided into different categories, but the basic division is into straight, wavy, and curly hair, which reflects their properties and needs.

Hair condition
Hair condition is influenced by many factors — genetics, lifestyle, styling habits, and even the weather. It can be dry, oily, damaged, or healthy, and this affects product choice.
Scalp condition
A healthy scalp is the basis for healthy hair. If your scalp is oily, dry, or sensitive, choose products that will maintain its balance.
Conclusion
Creating a good hair routine takes some time and patience, but the result is worth it — beautiful, healthy, and manageable hair that boosts your confidence. Choose quality products, listen to your hair’s needs, and adjust your routine as needed. If you’re unsure, consult with a hair professional who can help you tailor care specifically for you.
We wish you many good hair days!
