Damaged hair? Hairdressing experts give their best tips!

Damaged hair is one of the most common problems we encounter – both in salons and among our clients. Whether it’s due to heat tools, bleaching, stress or dry air, there is hope! We’ve spoken to our collaborating hairdressers and gathered their best tips on how to save your hair – for real.

1. Switch to a gentle shampoo – without synthetic substances

One of the most common mistakes is to continue with a shampoo that dries out the scalp or that contains silicones that only mask the damage . Our shampoo bars from Dalarnas EKO are something completely different. They:

• Contains nourishing, organically certified oils

• Free from sulfates, silicones and parabens

• Crafted with artisanal methods – with each ingredient added at exactly the right temperature
  
  

🌿 The result? Clean, moisturized and stronger hair from root to tip.

2. Invest in conditioner that really nourishes

A good conditioner shouldn’t just detangle your hair – it should protect and hydrate. Our solid conditioner also acts as a protective leave-in lotion for both hair and skin. It calms frizz, combats split ends and protects hair without weighing it down.

💡 Pro tip: Leave the conditioner on your ends as a leave-in – especially during dry winter months!

3. Get a haircut – but smartly

No, you don't have to cut everything off. But removing worn ends makes a big difference.
Our hairdressers advise:

“Better a light trim every 6 weeks than letting your hair grow too long. That way you preserve the length and avoid split ends.”

4. Heat styling – reduce or protect

If you use a straightener, blow dryer or curling iron every day, you're wearing it out more than you think.

👉 Lower the temperature and always use a heat protector.
At Dalarnas EKO, we recommend that you try our Växa-Mist, which provides both moisture and light protection when styling.

5. Add hydration to your routine

Dry hair = brittle hair.

Moisture is the key to smooth, shiny and healthy hair. Our popular Argan Oil , applied to damp hair, helps hair retain moisture while strengthening it.

6. Be kind to your scalp

A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong hair.
Avoid strong surfactants, perfumes and drying ingredients.

✅ Our products are designed to be gentle even for sensitive and reactive scalps - perfect for those with eczema, itching or psoriasis.

7. Wash less often – but better

Overwashing is a culprit in the drama of damaged hair.

Hairdressers advise:

“It’s better to wash your hair less often but with the right products. This will preserve both moisture and natural oils.”

With our shampoo bars you get clean hair without drying out your scalp , which makes it easier to reduce the frequency of washing without feeling unfresh.

💛 Summary – how to save damaged hair:

• Choose organic, nutritious hair care without synthetic substances

• Cut your hair regularly

• Protect against heat and environmental influences

• Moisturize your hair and nourish your scalp

• Wash smartly – not often
