Double wash :
The secret for clean hair with less washes
n summer, the heat, sweat, and sea are valid reasons why you wash your hair every day.
But did you know that for healthy, shiny, and oil-free hair, the secret is less washes?
B.A.M. hair salon experts to the rescue! We will help you train your hair require fewer washes depending on its type.
The frequency of shampooing is relative and proportional to the type of hair you have.
Frequent shampooing is when you wash more times in a week than you should depending on your hair type.
For example, if you have thick and lots of hair, 3 washes per week is considered too many.
To help you fully understand if you are over washing your hair, you first need to understand what type of hair you have.
In this case, we don't focus if you have short - long or dry hair as these characteristics have to do with care rather than hair type.
The hair types that we will deal with are the 3 following:
a) thin hair
b) medium hair
c) thick hair
Thin hair lacks volume and texture and tends to get greasy often. Ideally it should be washed every 3 days.
Medium hair has similar characteristics to thin hair.
They uphold more volume and do not get greasy too quickly.
Ideally, they should be washed every 5 or 6 days.
Thick hair is very different from the previous two categories.
They are rich with volume and are not greasy.
They can last many days until they are washed. However, shampooing once a week is a good frequency for this type of hair.
The secret to reducing the frequency of shampooing is to double cleanse the scalp.
This means 2 things:
Dry and style your hair any way you want in order to complete the process.
It is worth mentioning here that the quality of the products you use for shampooing play a very important role in achieving less washout.
After washing styling products will also provide your hair the desired look (smoothness, volume, texture).
Try the double cleanse method (on the head and not on the hair) to get healthy, shiny, long-lasting hairstyle and swift your attention on the things that really matters…

This is the number 1 product that should be in your hair styling routine.

Add shine

SHIMMER.SHINE is a mist treatment that doesn't oil the hair!
Spray your hairstyle as a final step and give it moisture and protection!
The shimmer it contains gives hair the desirable shine
and is available for blondes and brunettes!
The cold air
a useful tip for maintaining the style and giving your hair shine.
Adjust the blow dryer on cold air and dry the hair from the top to the bottom. This way you firm the hairstyle, and also shine your hair!
"Your hair breaks because they are telling you something"
Re-evaluating some aspects of your daily and hair routine is the first step in determining why your hair may be breaking.
Do you properly manage your wet hair, or do you always style them with thin bands?
These could be two common reasons that lead to such damage, but let’s find out more.
It is simple to understand that dry hair frequently causes hair breakage. It is commonly found in hair that is prone to dryness, such as type 4 very curly hair.
The hair is very fragile because it lacks elasticity and moisture, and even simple brushing can break it.
Washing your hair and scalp with gentle products will keep moisture in and give your hair shine.
Heat styling
Always effective and very impressive in terms of results, but styling with a straightening iron or curling iron is another very common cause of hair breakage.
Thermal tools can cause serious damage to hair when used without proper precautions.
Apply heat protective styling products or a heat protective hairspray. These products build a protective barrier between the tools and the hair.
At the same time, invest in high quality thermal tools and control their use by trying no-heat curls hairstyling.
We know how much you love the feeling of freshly washed hair, especially if you have an oily hair.
Frequent washes will refresh your scalp, but the shampoo's cleansing agents will also dehydrate the ends and lengths of your hair.
If you have intense oiliness, choose a scalp balancing shampoo or a very gentle shampoo for frequent use to find the balance between oily scalp and dry ends.
By trimming the split ends, breakage at the ends can be avoided. Therefore, schedule your haircut appointments and our hair experts will tell you everything you need to know about the frequency of your haircuts.
Choose to protect it.
As far as styling, try protective hairstyles with braids or sloppy knots to give your hair a break from wind exposure, pulling, and heat styling.
Pay close attention to the hair bands. Replace them with silk scrunchies or claw clips
Another secret to reduce breakage is to be cautious when handling wet hair. Hair is at its most fragile state when wet. So, extra attention! Another secret to reduce breakage is to be cautious when handling wet hair. Hair is at its most fragile state when wet. So, extra attention!
After shampooing, use a microfiber hair towel or a cotton t-shirt to absorb excess moisture.
Never untangle hair when wet and use a high-quality hairbrush or a comb with thick, sparse tines.
When we refer to home hair treatment, we mean a professional hair treatment that you can do once a week at home by yourself.
If you are not sure what you need and what is good for your hair, a visit to the salon for diagnosis - counselling and suggestion is the best way to start.
Our hair experts can help you avoid wasting time and money on products that don't work for you by recommending the best ones for your hair type.
Salon treatments are more specialised and last longer than treatment you do at home.
As a result, we encourage you to include salon treatments in your quest for vibrant and healthy hair!
Yeah, and so do we.
The good news is that you can have it both ways.
We're here to help you never miss a workout again with the excuse of your hair!
This is a weekly hair routine that starts the day BEFORE your training week.
The day before your first workout of the week shampoo your hair thoroughly.
Use an appropriate shampoo for your hair type, do your mask and finish with conditioner.
Dry your hair to the style you desire using (if you wish) light styling products ONLY on lengths and ends.
It's important to leave the roots of your hair clean of styling products, as sweat in the coming days will become one of them.
Pre work out tips
First spray in the center of your hair parting. Then do two or three more side partings on the right and left side of the front part and spray dry shampoo similarly.
We understand that if your workout routine involves lots of running or jumping, dealing with your hair at the same time can be frustrating.
For these situations we recommend a French braid or a low braid hairstyle
If you don't know how to create a French braid hairstyle, try the very easy and stylish bubble braids hairstyle
If you are going to do a low intensity program at the gym, you can create a very high but loose bun hairstyle, leaving air at your roots.
For tied / pulled back hairstyles always choose hair bands that don't break the hair, such as silk scrunches.
These tiny thin elastics we often use to secure hairstyles like thin braids are also suitable for gym hairstyles, if used properly
They will be easy to remove, and they won’t let the hair slip even if you don't tighten them too much on your hair.
If your hair is cut in layers and some strands tend to get out of place use bobby pins or better yet clips that don't leave marks on the hair.
Post Workout Tips
You've just finished your workout and you're feeling happy and energized to get on with your day. But you don't have much time to shampoo your hair.
Here is what to do:
Try this Pre & Post workout hair routine for the next few days until your hair can handle it.
Our suggestions:
Dry Shampoo Fresh Hair
Shine Spray Shimmer Shine
Extra Tip:
To get through one more day without shampooing try giving your hair a wet look.
The wet look hairstyle requires heavier styling products such as gel and hold spray, thats why we recommend you wear it when your hair is the dirtiest.
It’s that day of the week that you need to wash your hair and you're in the mood to work on your curls today. You're looking forward to doing all the right steps for perfect curls but.... The result differs from what you expected. Why is this happening?
Untangling wavy or curly hair is a very important procedure. The best time to do it is in the shower when hair is wet. Brushing thru wavy or curly hair when is dry can be very challenging but also very wrong. By brushing curly or wavy hair when is dry, you lose all the curl definition you want for your hair as a result.
To avoid stretching the hair too much to the point of breaking, use a thin comb for detangling.
Frizzy hair is dehydrated hair.
Hair salon treatments are more effective than the ones you do at home, because they are enhanced with active ingredients that should be used by professional hair stylists only.
So, during the day, your hair not only frizzes but it loses volume and spiral?
Then you need a styling product specifically designed for curly hair that lasts.
Not to be confused with hold products like hairspray, nothing to do with it. Then you need a styling product specifically designed for curly hair that lasts.
If you diffuse your hair, remember that too strong air upsets the hair
especially when you start drying from the ends upwards.
You feel like you are almost complete with your curl styling, and you start using your hands to scrunch your curls. Νο Νο Νο....
You can touch your curls when they are completely dry and start shaping or separating them.
As mentioned before, dehydration is the main cause of dryness and fizziness to the hair.
An Anti-Frizz Keratin Treatment is a huge help for frizzy curly hair. It is not a straightening treatment, so you are not going to lose your curly hair.
