But, did you know that the key to achieving your desired results lies in knowing the best washing routine for your hair type? We take you into the world of different hair types - from fine to thick hair types and from a colored to a curly cut - and reveal the secrets behind an effective hair washing routine, including what results to expect when choosing the right products. We’ll cover everything you possibly need to know, so time to read on.

Good to know: we focus on the most common hair types in this blog - for custom advice, we always recommend consulting your own hairdresser.

Fine hair can sometimes use a little extra love and attention to make it appear fuller and more resilient. Whether you have naturally fine hair or your hair has become thinner over time, the right hair wash routine can make a huge difference. Because fine hair tends to experience oil and product build-up more quickly, it is recommended that you wash it every other day - or even daily if needed. When washing your hair, focus on the hair roots and massage gently to stimulate your scalp.

The desired result for fine hair is often to create volume, texture and bounce. Therefore, choose shampoos and conditioners that give volume without weighing down the hair. Use a dry shampoo between washes to refresh your hair and add volume. Also try a texturizing spray or a volumizing powder for some extra grip and body.

Do you have thick hair? Then you probably prefer to postpone washing as long as possible - because that drying time... Ain't nobody got time for that. Fortunately, it's okay for you to put it off sometimes, because it's generally recommended that you wash thick hair two to three times a week at most. This frequency helps preserve your scalp's natural oils and prevents your hair from becoming dry and brittle.

For thick hair, the desired result is to maintain hydration and reduce frizz. Therefore, choose moisturizing shampoos and conditioners that nourish and smooth your hair. After washing, use a leave-in conditioner or serum if necessary to protect your hair from a frizzy look and you're good to go.

Damaged hair can be a real challenge, but with proper care and attention, you can definitely revive your hair. Wash your damaged hair two to three times a week to keep the scalp clean and the hair moisturized. Excessive washing can weaken the hair and even worsen the damage - finding the right balance in this is key.

The desired outcome for damaged hair is to restore health and strengthen the hair shaft. Choose restorative shampoos and conditioners enriched with nourishing ingredients such as keratin, argan oil or collagen. Apply hair masks regularly to ensure deep hydration because that's what your damaged hair deserves. Tip: Always use a heat protectant spray when using heated styling tools and don't forget to protect your hair from the sun.

Whether you’ve chosen a bold pastel shade, an on-trend balayage or a classic brunette cut, it's important to wash and care for your colored locks properly. Colored hair needs special care to keep the color vibrant and shiny. It is recommended to wash colored hair twice a week or less to prevent the color from fading. Frequent washing can wash the color molecules out of the hair and affect the color.

The desired result for color-treated hair is to maintain color intensity. Use color-preserving shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate-free and specially formulated for color-treated hair. Lightweight leave-in conditioners, color-enhancing serums and UV protectors will be your best friends. They keep your hair hydrated, vibrant and protected.

Curly hair tends to be drier than other hair types, so it is important not to wash it too often to preserve its natural oils. Wash your curly tresses once to twice a week to maintain the natural balance. A good rule of thumb: if your curls feel dry, try washing less frequently. Choose moisturizing and curl-enhancing shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for curly hair.

The desired result is resilient curls and hydrated hair. After shampooing, use a leave-in conditioner or curl cream to nourish your curls and reduce frizz. Use a diffuser when blow-drying or let your hair air dry for the most beautiful curls. Experiment with different styling products, such as curl enhancing gels and mousses, to give your curls extra definition and hold. Avoid using harsh hair brushes and combs that can damage your curls.

A sensitive scalp requires a gentle and soothing washing regime. It is recommended to wash a sensitive scalp two to three times a week. Excessive washing can further irritate the scalp, so it is important to be gentle.

The desired result for a sensitive scalp is to reduce irritation and redness. Choose mild and hypoallergenic shampoos and conditioners that are free of harsh chemicals and fragrances. Opt for lukewarm water that's not too cold and not too hot when washing and gently massage your scalp with your fingertips.
