Beautiful, healthy hair isn’t only created in the salon — what you do at home matters too.
Here are 10 healthy hair tips we recommend to our Renew Hair clients.
1. Start with professional shampoo and conditioner
Professional hair care products cleanse and condition without unnecessarily stripping moisture or compromising your colour, helping salon results last longer.
At Renew Hair, we work with Kérastase, Pureology, L’Oréal Professionnel and ELEVEN Australia, and can recommend the right combination for your hair and lifestyle.

2. Choose products for your hair AND scalp
Your hair and scalp have their own needs — healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp!
Consider having a Kérastase K-Scan next time you’re in. It helps us assess your hair and scalp so we can personalise your home routine.
3. Stretch out your wash days
If you’re washing every day just out of habit, try stretching it out. Washing too often can strip away natural oils and moisture, leaving some hair types feeling drier and harder to manage.
For in-between days, we love Pureology Refresh & Go Dry Shampoo — it absorbs excess oil, smells amazing and is perfect for colour-treated hair.

4. Never skip heat protection
Heat from blow-dryers, straighteners and curling irons can dry out and weaken the hair over time.
Kérastase has a beautiful range of Thermiques for different hair types, helping protect your hair from heat.
5. Give your hot tools a break
Even with heat protection, your hair will love the occasional air-dry day. When styling, use the lowest temperature that still gives you the result you want.
6. Use a weekly treatment
Think of this as a little weekly reset. We love Pureology Hydrate Treatment for dry, colour-treated hair needing extra moisture, softness and shine.
7. Keep mineral build-up under control
We use L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox during our colour services because metals such as copper can build up inside the hair and contribute to breakage and colour shift. Using Metal Detox at home helps continue that care between visits.
8. Protect your hair from Melbourne weather
Sun, heat, chlorine and salt water can leave coloured hair feeling dry and faded.
ELEVEN Miracle Hair Treatment is one of our favourites for helping protect against sun damage while adding moisture and softness.
9. Keep up with your salon maintenance
Regular trims, colour maintenance and professional treatments help us stay ahead of dryness, split ends and damage before they become bigger problems.
10. Add a Kérastase Fusio-Dose
Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatments are one of our favourite salon upgrades because it’s completely personalised to what your hair needs that day. It also delivers long-lasting results, so the
benefits continue well beyond your salon appointment.
Not sure where to start? Ask us next time you’re at Renew Hair in Altona. We can look at your hair, scalp and routine and help you create something that works for you.
Book your next appointment at Renew Hair and let’s keep that salon-hair feeling going long after you leave the chair.
