After the end-of-year celebrations, marked by excesses of chocolate and Yule logs, we often think about starting a detox cure. But why not do the same for your hair? Your scalp also deserves a well-earned break.
Why is detoxifying your hair and scalp essential for their health?
Hair and the scalp accumulate many residues of silicones, sulfates, and chemicals directly from the hair products we use daily. Added to this is environmental pollution. This suffocates the hair fibre, leaving it dull.
A detox cure helps rebalance the scalp and fight against excess sebum and dandruff. It also deeply cleanses the hair fiber, making it more receptive to care.
A hair detox is therefore essential to combat hair issues, let your hair breathe, and care for it more effectively.
How to detoxify your scalp?
Detoxifying your scalp and hair involves 4 essential steps.
1. Use a brush with natural fibers
Brushing your hair is a daily gesture that plays an important role in the health of your hair and scalp. Choosing the right hairbrush should not be left to chance.
The UNIVERSAL boar bristle brush is your ally for detoxifying your hair and scalp. It evenly distributes sebum along the length, which helps remove impurities and reduce shampoo frequency by half while rebalancing the scalp.
Moreover, the sebum and keratin present in the boar bristles act as a real treatment for your hair. They hydrate and tighten the scales of the hair fiber, making it stronger and more resistant to external aggressions such as pollution.
Tips: Cleaning your boar bristle brush is essential to keep your hair healthy. During each brushing, your hairbrush collects impurities from your scalp. If it is not cleaned regularly, it may make your hair greasy. It is therefore imperative to remove hairs from your brush after each use.

2. Adopt a suitable hair care routine
To detoxify the scalp, certain ingredients in your hair products should be prioritized.
- Lactic acid, in synergy with phytic acid, gently exfoliates the scalp to remove all impurities.
- The prebiome complex maintains a balanced microbiome for optimal bacteriological proportions. Moreover, it prevents hair loss.
Choosing your detox hair care routine should therefore depend on the composition of your products. Cair offers the perfect hair routine for this:
The first step of your detox routine, the Cair detoxifying serum, is formulated with these two ingredients, enabling it to detoxify and strengthen the hair while respecting the microbiome. It also contains rice water, which hydrates and revitalizes the scalp.
This natural strengthening serum is free from silicones, artificial coloring, sulfate-based surfactants, alcohol, and inert ingredients, making it gentle for your hair.
Continue your routine with Cair’s natural shampoo, free of sulfates and silicones, designed to purify your hair fiber by removing the fine film and accessing the hair fiber and scalp for thorough cleaning. Additionally, it leaves no suffocating residue. Hyaluronic acid and active waters, such as rice water present in its formula, deeply hydrate the hair.
Once well-cleaned, the hair is ready to be protected and repaired with the fortifying mist. It creates a protective barrier around the fiber and also tightens the scales for healthier, shinier hair.
Finally, once a week, alternate with the Cair serum by using the reparative mask before your shampoo. This ultra-powerful treatment with a clean formula (sulfate- and silicone-free) respects the microbiome. Its formula with hyaluronic acid and rice water hydrates the hair fiber deeply. It also contains vitamin B8, which improves keratin structure and prevents hair loss, as well as panthenol, which strengthens the hair from roots to tips. Lastly, it has a unique plant-based collagen concentrate that regenerates the hair in depth.
Used together, these products act in synergy to deeply strengthen and hydrate the hair. Results are visible and approved by our lab tests:
- 72% of hair is repaired (lab-tested under a microscope)
- 86% of hair is rehydrated
- 71% of hair is less brittle
Detoxified, your scalp and hair are stronger, shinier, and healthier.
3. Stimulate the scalp
Effective hair brushing helps stimulate blood circulation, which is responsible for delivering the nutrients necessary for your scalp and hair health.
The La Bonne Brosse N.04 and N.07 hairbrushes are equipped with nylon bristles that provide a revitalizing massage to the scalp. This stimulation directly impacts the health of your hair fiber and also accelerates its growth.
The N.04 massage brush is ideal for sensitive scalps thanks to the small beads at the ends of its bristles.
If you have thick, curly, or textured hair, the N.07 hairbrush will be more suitable. It has stiffer bristles arranged at two heights, allowing it to detangle the hair deeply down to the scalp.
4. Protect the hair fiber at night
To preserve and protect your beautiful hair, use a silk turban. Often overlooked, this simple gesture is essential to maintaining the health and softness of the hair fiber while preventing damage caused by friction.
