Hair Care Routine for Long Hair

It takes time, dedication, and care to grow and maintain long hair. With so many factors like hair damage, dehydration, age, and breakage working against it, coming up with a well-balanced hair care routine for long hair can help enhance your style and ensure long, healthy hair day in and day out.

Previous

While each person will have their definition of what “long” hair is, no matter what that means to you — these are our top tips for growing, maintaining, and caring for long hair.

How to Care for Long Hair

Schedule Regular Trims

This tip always seems counterintuitive, but regular trims clean up the ends of your hair to combat breakage. So in the long run, you end up with longer, healthier, and more manageable hair.

Look for Anti-Ageing Hair Products

The longer your hair is, the older it is. For this reason, working in anti-ageing products to care for dry, damaged, and even split ends is essential to keep your length.

Rejuvenating products like YOUNG.AGAIN are designed just for this. With restorative Immortelle and Baobab Oils, hair is left softer, hydrated, and more resilient against dryness, damage, and breakage.

Detoxify

If you have long hair, you might rely on dry shampoo and dry conditioner to extend the time between wash days. Due to this, you could have excess product buildup. To refresh your routine and ensure your care products are penetrating, detox your scalp and strands with the help of MAXI.WASH.

MAXI.WASH helps remove buildup on the hair strands and scalp from product, hard water or environmental buildup. Whether you detox strands, you’ll notice the products that follow are better absorbed into the hair strand for optimum benefits.

Include a Great Detangler

No matter the hair or pattern type, long hair tends to tangle. This is why utilising detanglers, moisturising leave-ins, and specific combing methods are great ways to care for long hair.

Brushing hair before showering and combing through conditioner in the shower are great ways to detangle and ensure products are being worked through your entire strand. After shampooing and conditioning, leave-ins like LEAVE-IN.REPAIR, STAYING.ALIVE, UN.TANGLED, and EVERLASTING.COLOUR LEAVE-IN should be applied based on your hair type, texture and lifestyle habits.

Always Include Heat Protection

Essential for any hair length, heat protection is especially important for long hair. Because long hair has technically been around for a longer amount of time, it is more susceptible to damage and breakage. So anytime you use heat to style, add a layer of HEATED.DEFENSE to your strands before beginning to protect hair up to 232˚C / 450˚F. As a lightweight foam that treats the hair as it protects, it's ideal for all hair types — making it a go-to step in any hair care routine for long hair.

FAQ

Regular trims every 6–8 weeks help prevent split ends and breakage. Clean ends keep long hair stronger, smoother, and more manageable over time.

Anti-ageing treatments like YOUNG.AGAIN and HEATED.DEFENSE help hydrate, strengthen, and protect long hair from dryness, heat styling, and breakage.

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Using the SCALP.SPA range helps remove buildup, energise follicles, and create ideal conditions for stronger hair growth.
