So, you just grew new hair using our Clinical Formula Hair Vitamins on your hair journey, now what? Protecting your new growth and trying new styles might be top of mind. Hair La Vie is here with a few simple haircare tips that’ll give effortless style with minimal damage. Armed with these tricks, tips and routines, you’ll be good to go and able to enjoy your new lustrous locks while keeping them looking healthy. 

New haircare routines

Daily nutrition

First things first, it all started with daily nutrition, so you need to maintain consistency when delivering nutrients to your follicles to support their continued health. While we recommend continuing your regimen of Clinical Formula Hair Vitamins for hair growth maintenance, it’s still good to have another nutritional supplement option. Who doesn’t love sipping a refreshing beverage mix? And our Foundation Collagen Elixir is just the one! Don’t let the sweet melon flavor fool you, this drink packs a powerful nutrient-rich punch. It’s loaded with collagen, keratin, prebiotics, and blue spirulina for gorgeous skin, hair and nails and supports a healthy gut biome. It’s the ultimate beauty potion for a glow up.

Cleanse and hydrate

When experiencing common hair shedding, some may alter their wash routines to either more often or less frequently, depending on different factors. Typically, once healthy new hair is grown in, it’s recommended to frequently, but gently, cleanse the scape to keep it free from debris to allow for more circulation to the follicles and roots. A good scalp massage is great for this as well. Hair La Vie’s Shampoo and Conditioner are gentle enough to use daily, while fortifying hair with nutrients like silk amino acids and Pure Argan Oil applied directly to the roots.

Nourish

For silky strands, pampering your hair with a nourishing mask is a no-brainer. Whether your hair is Rapunzel’s length or short and sweet, you’ll want to smooth the cuticles and  deeply hydrate and nourish hair from root to tip. You can whip up on-hand items from your pantry like olive oil, avocado, and lemon for a DIY mask, or for less mess and no dishes, try Hair La Vie’s Hair Mask chock full of rejuvenating avocado oil, strengthening keratin and bamboo extract. It’s just the TLC you’ll need.

Protective styling

No-heat styles

No-heat styles are a baby hair’s best friend! They are gentle on the scalp with less pulling and easier on the cuticles. For texture, our go-to is an overnight French braid that gives a piece-y crimped texture and only requires a hair tie. Another DIY option is TikTok viral, rolled sock waves. Hair is twisted around the sock overnight, and in the morning, voilà! You have bouncy waves with staying power. It’s all the style and none of the heat tools. For on-the-go volume and a quick refresh, dust a small amount of Hair La Vie’s Dry Shampoo at the roots. It will keep your waves and texture looking full.

Smooth chignon

This hairstyle is perfect for protecting the ends of your hair from fraying and splitting. All you need to do is make two sections of hair from the sides, twist each of them gently and tie them together with a soft silk scrunchy. To smooth the sides and tame flyaways, use a drop or two of Hair La Vie Serum for a glossy chic look that protects hair too.

Accessories

No haircare arsenal is complete without these essential accessories to protect your delicate ‘do. A must-have is a wide tooth for gentle detangling wet hair. Using an abrasive brush on tangled wet hair is a no-no. Hair is much more elastic when wet and can stretch, snap, and break, so it’s best to use a wide-toothed comb that will help to comb through fragile, tangled strands. While you’re at it, toss wet hair up in a gentle microfiber towel to dry with less friction, and sleep on a silk pillowcase like the queen you are.

Final thoughts

It can be so rewarding after your long hair journey to relish this milestone of new growth. We get it! But with so many new hair options and style opportunities, there’s the possibility of decision fatigue. Don’t sweat it — when in doubt, just keep it simple and focus on maintaining hair health with supportive nutrients, products, and stress-free styles. We’ll be here for you with continued support and healthy haircare along the way!
