A thoughtful haircare routine can be both luxurious and low-waste. Here is our step-by-step guide, with the long-lasting accessories that finish the look.
A sustainable haircare routine: the short answer
- Cleanse gently with a shampoo bar.
- Detangle with care using a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends.
- Style with accessories made to last, instead of single-use hair ties.
- Lock in moisture with a few drops of nourishing oil.
Step 1: Cleanse gently
Switching to a shampoo bar is one of the easiest ways to cut down on plastic bottles in your bathroom.
Step 2: Detangle with care
Once your hair is damp or dry, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle, always starting from the ends and working up to avoid breakage.
This step is especially important for curly, textured or easily tangled hair.
Step 3: Style with accessories made to last
Instead of single-use hair ties, choose accessories you will wear for years. Our French Handmade collection is made in France from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material made from wood pulp and cotton, and every piece comes with our 1 year TEGEN Guarantee.
Our top 4 everyday pieces:
- The Original Medium Hair Claw Clip: effortless and chic.
- Wide Arched Barrette Clip: ideal for smooth, low styles.
- 2x 7cm Snap Clips: perfect for flyaways and short styles.
- Narrow Hair Clip: sleek and discreet for fine hair or a fringe.
Step 4: Lock in moisture
Finish by smoothing a few drops of oil through your mid-lengths and ends. A light, natural oil tames frizz, adds shine and nourishes dry ends.
