Stress, diet, hormones, and weather conditions affect the health of hair. 

Where to start?​

Washing your hair every day is always discouraged.

Essentially, the major differences in washing frequency are determined by the type of scalp and the length and thickness of the hair, so we see that:

• it is recommended to wash oily hair every other day to avoid removing all oils from the scalp
• Dry hair on the other hand, does not get dirty easily but needs constant hydration. That is why it is good to opt for two gentle washes a week: the friction of washing could damage the lengths and break them. To keep dry hair well hydrated after shampooing, natural drying is the best solution
• for fragile and thin hair, it is ideal not to overdo it with washing or products because buildup could make the lengths even more delicate. Or excessively weigh down the roots, losing volume
• for curly hair, cleansing can occur even just once a week as their volume keeps the roots away from the scalp, so they are not weighed down by sebum
• in the case of colored and/or long hair, the main problem is knots and dryness, especially at the ends.  It is not recommended to wash hair more than twice a week, to avoid fading the hair or drying it out causing breakage

The Lumea HAIR KIT combines the gentle cleansing of the shampoo with the strengthening power of the mask.  The first product helps regulate sebum production thanks to snail slime, thus degreasing hair and scalp if oily and hydrating them if dry. It cleanses deeply without irritating and soothes any existing inflammation.  Being a very gentle product, it is also ideal for frequent washing or for fragile hair prone to breakage.

The restructuring mask, on the other hand, helps restore the hair structure, strengthening and nourishing it. Ideal for hair that needs to be hydrated and softened.
Perfect for dry hair and also an ally for oily hair, with the following application difference:

• dry hair: apply the mask on the lengths and ends, a small amount of product can also be massaged into the scalp
• oily hair: apply a small amount of product on the lengths and ends
• thin hair: apply a small amount of product on the ends (once a month apply it also on the lengths and leave it on for a few minutes to avoid weighing down the hair and losing volume)
• Dry and fragile hair needs nourishment but fears excess product as it can weigh them down to the point of appearing greasy or flat
