Thick hair routine: 3 tips to tame thick hair

Frizz, difficult detangling, uncontrollable volume... Thick hair may be the envy of many, but it's no less difficult to discipline! Discover our simple and effective tips to include in your thick hair routine. The result: tamed, sublimated hair.

Gentle detangling, the key step in your thick hair routine

Detangling hair, yes, but with the right tool! Gone are the combs and plastic brushes that tear out hair. Instead, use a biosourced nylon brush, specially developed to ensure respectful detangling of thick or curly hair.

The Holy Grail? The "Démêlage en Douceur" brush, straight from the French workshops ofAltesse Studio , crafted with an exclusive pile-up technique and top-quality materials. What's more? It separates hair so finely that drying time is considerably reduced.

The right way to detangle :

• Divide lengths into 3 equal sections
• Gentle detangling to preserve the hair fiber
• Brush from top to bottom, starting with the tip section
• Gradually work your way up to the roots, section by section.

The power of well-executed detangling for thick hair:

• Purifies hair and scalp
• Stimulates blood circulation
• Gently removes knots
• Protects roots and hair fiber from the stress of brushing

Brush with a boar bristles brush to care for thick hair.

After detangling comes brushing. Essential in the morning, it's also your evening routine for beautiful hair. Your ultimate ally for moisturizing and disciplining thick hair? A brush made from boar bristles, like the Altesse Studio shine and care brush for thick or curly hair.

The right gesture: The mythical 100 strokes of the brush

• 25 x head bent forward
• 25 x head bent left
• 25 x head bent to the right
• 25 x straight head

The magic of the brush in boar bristles on your thick hair:

• Distributes natural oils over the lengths (thanks to the fibrous structure of boar bristles , which captures natural oils at the roots and distributes it to the ends).
• Disciplines and coats hair
• Tames frizz, the bane of thick hair!
• Stimulates blood circulation with the massaging action of its fibers
• Adds softness and shine

Shampooing your hair the right way: the secret to sublimating thick hair

It's a gesture that's all too often neglected. And yet, washing your hair properly is essential for healthy, beautiful hair. The secret of successful shampooing for thick hair?

• Use lukewarm water to wet and rinse hair
• Wash scalp and roots only to preserve fiber hydration
• Do a final rinse with cold water to tighten the scales and make your hair shine.
• Detangle damp hair

Wavy, thick hair routine: can you (really) do without a conditioner?

There are two possible scenarios:

• If you have oily, dry or weakened hair, a sensitive scalp or dandruff, apply a maximum of 1 treatment per week to avoid weighing down and suffocating the hair.

• If your thick hair is in good health, then the best care remains daily brushing with a brush made from boar bristles. No more, no less!
