Designing a personalized hair care routine is key to keeping your hair healthy, strong, and beautiful. In this article, we explain step-by-step how to do it according to your hair’s real needs, including examples of Milano products that can help you.
Why is it important to have a personalized hair care routine?
Every hair is different. Not all manes need the same.
A generic routine can work in the short term, but if you want long-lasting results, it’s best to adapt your care to your hair type, lifestyle, and goals.
What benefits does a routine tailored to your hair bring?
Improves scalp health
Reduces frizz and breakage
Boosts shine and softness
Makes daily styling easier
Increases the effectiveness of the products you use
How to know what your hair really needs?
Before buying products or following random advice, it’s important to know your starting point.
What factors should you observe?
Analyze these basic aspects:
Scalp type: dry, oily, or sensitive
Hair texture: fine, medium, or thick
Hair shape: straight, wavy, curly, or afro
Porosity level: how it absorbs and retains moisture
Current condition: dyed, heat-damaged, split ends, etc.
How can you do this analysis at home?
Observe how your hair reacts after washing
Try the water glass test for porosity
Review your daily routine: do you use straighteners? dye your hair? swim in pools?
What steps does a complete hair care routine include?
A well-structured hair care routine doesn’t have to be complicated.
What are the essential steps for an effective routine?
Step 1 – Cleansing (appropriate shampoo)
Choose a shampoo adapted to your scalp. For example, if you want a deep clean without harshness, the Shampoo Zero – Antigrasa 250ml is ideal for removing impurities and build-up.
Step 2 – Hydration (conditioner and mask)
Conditioner is essential for softening and detangling. For dry or damaged hair, using the Arándanos Mask 250ml helps restore elasticity and shine from the first application.
Step 3 – Leave-in protection and treatment
Applying a heat protector before blow-drying or straightening is key. The Antifrizz Pack offers a light barrier that doesn’t weigh hair down and protects from heat.
Step 4 – Styling (depending on your look)
If you want to define curls or waves, Shampoo Zero – Rizos 250ml is a great option to enhance shape without frizz.
How often should products be applied?
Frequency depends on your hair type and the product itself.
What’s a good reference frequency?
Recommended weekly routine:
Shampoo: 2 to 3 times a week
Mask: once a week (twice if hair is very dry)
Conditioner: after every wash
Thermal protection and leave-in: whenever using heat or for a specific finish
What type of products are best for a personalized routine?
It’s not about having lots of products, but the right ones.
What should you consider when choosing hair products?
Key criteria:
Gentle formulas without harsh ingredients
Presence of actives like keratin, oils, plant proteins
Products aligned with your goal (hydration, repair, frizz control, etc.)
Textures suited to your daily life: lightweight, cream, spray, leave-in…
Real example: If you need to repair hair damaged after bleaching or dyeing, an intensive treatment like Milano’s 3-Phase Hair Reconstructor can help restore the fiber from within.
How to maintain consistency and improve over time?
An effective routine is built with sustainable habits.
What habits help maintain a good hair routine?
Be consistent: follow timings and amounts
Observe changes: more shine, less hair fall, less oil
Adjust in summer or winter according to needs
Consult your stylist if there are sudden changes or doubts
What mistakes should you avoid when creating your hair care routine?
Many hair problems come from daily care mistakes.
Common mistakes to avoid:
Using unsuitable products for your hair type
Skipping hydration or repair treatments
Applying shampoo to ends or conditioner to roots
Not protecting hair from heat or sun
Copying others’ routines without adapting them to you
