Step-by-Step Hair Care Tips from Auckland’s Top Hairdressers
At Estilo — the best hair salon in Auckland — our expert stylists have crafted a simple, effective routine tailored for Auckland’s climate. Whether you’re seeking professional hair colouring, battling dryness, or managing coloured or curly hair, our guide ensures your hair gets salon-level care every day. Each step includes recommended salon-grade products, available at our affordable hair salon in Howick.
1. Start in the Shower – Use Professional Hair Products
Your hair routine starts with cleansing — and the right shampoo makes all the difference. Ditch harsh formulas that strip natural oils and opt for NAK Hydrate Shampoo(for dull, fine hair)/Nourish Shampoo(for thick,coarse hair) .
Using the right shampoo and conditioner is non-negotiable. Supermarket brands often contain harsh detergents that strip your hair of moisture.
- Use: NAK Nourish Shampoo – ideal for restoring balance and hydration
- Maintains scalp balance and hair shine
- Ideal for all hair types including colour-treated strands for healthy hair colouring
Shampoo Tip: Always shampoo twice—first to remove buildup, second to cleanse. Start with thoroughly wet hair, focus on the scalp, and let the lather rinse through the lengths.
2. Hydrate Weekly for Shine and Strength
Hydration is key to preventing frizz and breakage — especially in Auckland’s changing weather. Weekly hydration at home with a deep conditioning mask and an add on Moisture Drops In- Salon treatment service can help restore softness and in strengthening the strands.
Dry hair often lacks shine and vibrancy, and is more prone to breakage and split ends. A deep conditioning treatment locks in moisture and improves elasticity.
- Try: NAK Treatment Drops – Quench (moisture) and Fortify (strength)
- Available as an in-salon add-on
- Perfect after colour, straightening, or sun exposure
Tip : Apply NAK Replends Moisture Mask(for dry ,frizzy hair) and NAK Ultimate Treatment Mask (for damaged hair) weekly on mid-lengths and ends. Leave it for 10–15 minutes to restore softness and elasticity.
3. Trim Regularly to Avoid Split Ends
Split ends occur when the protective outer layer of the hair cuticle wears away due to damage. They can make hair look dull, frizzy, and unhealthy. Regular trims are the most effective way to get rid of split ends, as they cannot be permanently repaired. To prevent them, it’s important to use nourishing hair products, minimize heat styling, and protect hair from environmental stressors. Deep conditioning treatments and leave-in products can also help strengthen the hair and reduce the likelihood of future splitting.
Getting a trim every 6–8 weeks keeps your ends clean and prevents split ends from climbing up the shaft.
- Enhances volume and bounce
- Reduces breakage and tangles
- Keeps your cut fresh and shaped
Tip: Get a trim every 6–8 weeks to remove split ends and promote healthy growth. Regular cuts help maintain your style too
4. Protect Coloured Hair the Right Way
Colored hair requires extra care to maintain its vibrancy and health. From blonde to balayage, our stylists recommend colour-safe products and gloss treatments every 4–6 weeks.
Colour-treated hair requires extra attention. Protect your investment by:
- Use UV-protectant shampoos and masks
- Avoid chlorine, sea salt, and harsh heat
- Maintain tone with toner and gloss in salon
Tips: To maintain colored hair, use color-safe products, wash with cool water to help seal the cuticle and preserve color, limit heat styling, and deep condition weekly. Protect your hair from sun exposure to keep the color vibrant and hair healthy. Don’t Skip Your Leave-In Treatment
5. Don’t Skip Your Leave-In Treatment
Think of leave-in conditioner as daily skincare for your hair. Our top pick — NAK Replends Creme — hydrates, detangles, and shields hair from humidity and UV rays.
Leave-in products are like skincare for your strands — they seal moisture, reduce frizz, and improve manageability.
- Top Pick: NAK Replends Creme
- Lightweight and non-greasy
- Perfect for frizz-prone or dry hair
- Enhances shine and smoothness
Tip: Apply a leave-in cream on damp hair to lock in moisture, control frizz, and protect from UV and heat damage.
6. Style Smart – Always Use Thermal Protection
Styling tools can damage hair if used unprotected. Before blow-drying, curling, or straightening, apply NAK Thermal Shield Heat Protectant to safeguard your strands.
If you style your hair often, always use a thermal shield. Excessive heat without protection causes breakage, dryness, and even colour fading.
- Use: NAK Thermal Shield Heat Protectant
- Use medium heat settings to reduce damage
- Shields hair from heat up to 230°C
- Use daily before heat styling
Tip: Always use a thermal spray before styling. Avoid high heat and never use hot tools on wet hair to prevent breakage.
