If you’re one of the 58.51 million women juggling work, family, and self-love, having a hair care routine is a must. After all, hair is a reflection of how well you take care of yourself. At Verbena, The Salon, we believe that hair rituals should be luxurious and tailored to boost your confidence, no matter how hectic your calendar is.
As Tempe’s resident hair care and styling specialists, allow us to walk you through building an efficient yet low-maintenance hair routine with high-performance Davines products and regular salon treatments.
1. Identify Your Hair Woes and Goals
Before building your routine, ask yourself:
- What are your biggest hair frustrations? (Frizz, dryness, lack of volume, etc.)
- What are your hair goals? (Shine, longevity of color, manageability, etc.)
- Realistically, how much time do you have each day to dedicate to your hair?
Once you have your answers, you can start building a hair care routine around your work schedule, depending on your current grooming habits and how much extra time you’re willing to spend on maintenance.
2. Establish a Salon-to-Home Ritual
You’ve probably heard this saying thousands of times before, but consistency really is key. Here’s how to create a hair care ritual you can easily do at home, whether you have five or twenty minutes to spare:
A. Weekly Salon-Quality Routine at Home:
- CLEANSE: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo customized to your hair’s needs. We recommend Davines DEDE Shampoo for daily use or SOLU Shampoo for occasional deep cleansing.
- CONDITION: Always follow with a hydrating conditioner or mask. Try the MINU Conditioner for color protection or the NOUNOU Hair Mask for repairing damaged hair. Related article: Treatments for Colored Hair
- PROTECT: Prep damp hair with heat- and UV-protection before styling. SU Hair Milk and MELU Hair Shield are some of our favorites.
B. Daily Styling Tools:
- Need a dry shampoo for busy mornings? Try Hair Refresher.
- Want something that softens and polishes without weighing your hair down? This Is a Texturizing Serum does wonders.
- Craving something that detangles and fights frizz? OI Oil is a miracle worker.
These products will bring out the best in your hair, visibly and to the touch.
3. For Color-Treated Hair, Invest in Products and Tools That Protect and Maintain Color Between Appointments
Color fading is a common frustration. Whether you’re maintaining dimensional blondes, rich brunettes, or vibrant coppers, protect your investment with:
- Cool water rinses: Hot water opens the cuticle, fading color faster.
- Color-safe products: Try Heart of Glass Silkening Shampoo and Alchemic Red Conditioner.
- UV protection: Use products like SU Hair Milk daily.
Limit heat styling: When possible, air dry or use the cold setting on your blow dryer.
4. If You Have More Time, Use Masks and Treatments
Incorporate these powerhouse products to repair damage, preserve hair integrity, and enhance shine:
- Scalp health: Use Naturaltech Renewing Pro Boost Superactive before shampooing for scalp exfoliation.
- Moisture and elasticity: We swear by The Quick Fix Circle for on-the-go hydration.
- Repair and strength: The Naturaltech Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Mask prolongs the strengthening effects of previous moisturizing treatments.
Tip: Use an ultra-deep conditioning mask once a week and comb through in the shower to distribute the product evenly.
5. Schedule (and Stick to) Prebooked Hair Appointments
Time gets away from us. A missed trim can turn into weeks of split ends and faded color. Stay on schedule of much-needed salon visits by pre-booking your services:
- Set your next color appointment at checkout—most hair colors need retouching every 6 to 8 weeks.
- Trims are essential every 8 to 12 weeks to keep your ends healthy and your cut looking clean.
- Scalp treatments and glosses are excellent mid-way maintenance visits.
FIY: At Verbena, The Salon, prebooking guarantees you access to seasonal promotions and first dibs on holiday appointments.
6. Let Your Hair Products Echo Your Profession
Who says you can’t style your hair in a way that makes sense for your profession?
Boardroom ready?
- Sleek looks perfected by This Is An Invisible Serum and OI All In One Milk.
Creative field?
- Tousled texture using This Is A Sea Salt Spray or Dry Texturizer.
Health and wellness-focused?
- Scalp-centered care with Naturaltech Elevating Scalp Recovery Treatment.
Whatever field you’re in, choose products that help you achieve your desired hairstyle within the time you’re willing to spend.
7. Ask Your Stylist for Product Recommendations and Hair Care Tips
At Verbena, our experts plan personalized hair care routines based on individual:
- Hair texture, density, porosity, and scalp health
- Hair color, whether natural or dyed
- Hair extensions (if applicable)
