The Hair Ritual That Changed Everything
Finding a good hair care routine isn’t easy.
With temperature changes (and seasonal shifts in general) it’s true that hair can take more of a hit than usual. That’s why it’s so important to stick to a consistent hair care routine to keep it nourished, frizz-free and shiny all year round.
There are so many products out there that claim to help improve the overall health of your hair. From in-salon treatments and anti-hair loss shampoos to heat protectants for when you’re styling with hot tools, the options can be endless.
One of the most loved categories? Hair serums. These are designed to enhance your hair’s appearance over time, and are often packed with hydrating ingredients like argan and jojoba oils, plus silicones that help seal in moisture and prevent dryness. They’re especially great if your hair is dry or damaged, since they work to bring back softness and shine while offering protection from heat and environmental stressors.
But if you're looking for something that's both effective and conscious, let me put you on to Conscious Botanist. It’s a Spanish brand that’s completely focused on clean, conscious beauty, and their 3-step hair ritual is a total game-changer. Think: stronger, shinier hair with less breakage, less shedding, and zero guilt. Everything is plant-based, vegan, and rooted in sustainability. But honestly? What really got me was how good it feels, like a moment of self-care every single time I use it.
Step 1: The Scalp Brush
A 100% silicone brush and massager that gently exfoliates, boosts circulation, and helps my scalp absorb all the good stuff more effectively.
It’s such a small step, but it makes a big difference. I start by massaging my scalp for 5 to 10 minutes. It helps stimulate the scalp, improve blood flow and allows for better product absorption. A healthy scalp is everything when it comes to supporting strong, healthy hair growth, and this brush has become a must in my routine.
Step 2: The Hair & Scalp Oil
A serum enriched with Jojoba Oil, Prickly Pear and Amla Extract. The powerful blend of oils also helps combat dandruff, itching and dryness, promoting a healthier scalp and stronger hair growth, while helping prevent hair loss.
I divide my hair into sections, then I apply it carefully directly onto my scalp, gently massaging it. Once slightly covered, I run a bit more oil through the ends of my hair for that extra hydration boost. Then, I let it sit for about 30 minutes to work its magic.
When it’s time to rinse, I just wash my hair as usual, and if it feels a bit heavy, I’ll do a quick double shampoo. The result? My hair feels softer, healthier, and just more alive.
Step 3: The Scalp Gua Sha
Finally, stimulate & sooth with The Scalp Gua Sha, crafted entirely from Bian stone, inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. This comb is designed to activate the head’s meridians and deeply relax the scalp. It releases tension in the scalp, easing stress and helping to relive fatigue. The perfect way to finish up this routine.
