Scalp Talk: Why Your Roots Are the Real MVP

Time to give your scalp the main character energy it deserves.

We get it – scalp chat doesn’t exactly sound sexy. But here’s the thing: if your scalp’s not happy, your hair definitely isn’t either. It’s kind of like trying to grow a flower in bad soil. No matter how many masks or serums you throw at the ends, if the roots are stressed, your strands will be too.

So, let’s take a second to tune in to the top of your head.

Feeling a Little... Greasy?

If your scalp’s been stuck in an oil spiral or just feeling a bit clogged up, it might be time for a mini reset. The Teknia Scalp Detox Shampoo and Detox Gel are our go-to for that “clean, but not squeaky” kinda feel. Like a double cleanse for your scalp – minus the 10-step routine. You’ll feel refreshed, your hair will feel lighter, and your roots will basically throw you a thank-you party.

More Flakes Than a Croissant?

We’ve all had our flaky moments (hi, winter). But that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. The Relief Shampoo and Mask are like a big, gentle hug for your scalp. They calm things down without stripping away everything else. It’s like giving your scalp a warm cup of tea and telling it everything’s going to be okay.

Hair Feeling Meh Lately?

If your strands are staging a quiet rebellion – falling out, thinning, or just generally feeling a bit fragile – your scalp might need a bit of a pep talk. That’s where the Vital Shampoo and Serum come in. They’re basically the motivational speakers of scalp care – quietly working behind the scenes to boost strength, support growth, and remind your hair it’s got this.

Oh, and Massage That Head

Not to get all “treat yourself,” but massaging your scalp isn’t just relaxing – it also helps your products do their thing and keeps blood flowing to your roots. So next time you’re washing or applying serum, take a minute to get in there with your fingertips. Bonus points if you make weird “ahhh” sounds while doing it. No judgment here.

Too long; didn’t read?

Your scalp is the unsung hero of your hair journey. Listen to it. Clean it gently. Feed it well. And if it needs a little extra support, we’ve got your back (well, your head).

🌿 Products We’re Vibing With:




 

💁‍♀️ Stretching Wash Day: Skip the Shampoo, Keep the Sass

We love a good wash day… but we love skipping it even more.

Let’s be honest – the full wash-blow-dry situation is a commitment. Sometimes you just want to stretch things out, keep the style going, and maybe even sleep in an extra hour (or two). Enter: dry shampoo. AKA your new favourite time-saving, sass-preserving, hair-freshening BFF.

But not all dry shampoos are created equal – and that’s where the dream duo comes in.

💨 For That Clean, Silky Finish:

Olaplex No.4D Dry Shampoo is your go-to if you want hair that still feels freshly washed. It’s lightweight, gentle on your scalp, and actually helps care for your hair while you skip the shampoo. No grit, no powdery residue – just soft, fresh hair that’s living its best life. Perfect for finer hair or days when you still want to run your fingers through without hitting a wall of texture.

💪 For Volume, Texture, and a Bit of Grunt:

On the flip side, Evo Water Killer brings a bit more drama – in the best way. It adds texture and grip, which means more volume, more hold, and more second-day sass. It’s a winner for styling updos, reviving limp hair, or adding a bit of bedhead cool without the actual bedhead oil. Plus, it smells dreamy.

Pro Move: Spray Before Bed

Want next-level results? Use your dry shampoo before bed. Seriously. It works overnight to absorb oil while you snooze, so you wake up looking more polished than you actually feel. Hair hack? Activated.

Stretch It Out

Day two hair? Sorted. Day three? Try a low bun, braid, or dry shampoo cocktail (yes, you can layer them – Olaplex first for freshness, Evo after for lift). Suddenly, wash day is tomorrow’s problem.

TOO LONG; didn’t read?

Dry shampoo isn’t just about skipping the wash – it’s about choosing your vibe. Clean and silky with Olaplex, or voluminous and gritty with Evo. Either way, your hair’s winning, and you’re sleeping in.

🌿 Hair Heroes:

 

🎨 Colour Crush: Keep It Fresh Between Appointments

Because faded isn’t a vibe — and brassy isn’t invited.

You’ve just walked out of the salon with fresh colour, feeling like a literal goddess. Flash forward three weeks and… what happened? The vibrancy starts to fade, your tone’s throwing tantrums, and you’re wondering if your shower is secretly plotting against you.

Don’t panic. With a little between-appointment TLC, your colour can stay popping until your next salon date. No cape required.

💜 Bye, Brass: Keep Blonde Bright

Blonde babes, this one's for you. If your platinum, ash or beige suddenly looks more like a banana smoothie, it’s probably brass sneaking in. Enter: Evo Fabuloso Platinum Blonde Colour Boosting Treatment – a deeply pigmented conditioner that tones while it nourishes. No extra steps, no dry ends, just cool-toned glory restored in one wash.

Pro tip: leave it in a little longer if your hair’s feeling extra warm-toned. Just don’t scroll TikTok and forget you’ve got it on unless purple is your thing.

🔥 Reds, Coppers & Caramels – We See You

Vibrant hues fade fast. It’s just science (ugh). But don’t worry, Evo’s got a full Fabuloso lineup for redheads, copper queens and brunette balayage lovers. These conditioners are like a little top-up of your favourite salon shade – no appointment needed.

🛠️ Strengthen While You Tone

If you’ve been bleaching or colouring regularly, your hair probably needs more than just pigment. That’s where Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector steps in. It literally rebuilds broken bonds from the inside out – which means less breakage, more strength, and better colour hold. Use it weekly, or whenever your hair’s feeling fragile and dramatic.

💦 Cool It (Literally)

Your colour might also be fading faster because of your water temp. Yep – hot water opens the hair cuticle, letting all that expensive colour rinse right out. Cool down your rinse (lukewarm is fine, we’re not monsters) and your tone will stick around way longer.

TOO LONG;DIDNT READ?

Keep your colour alive with tone-correcting conditioners, bond-repairing treatments, and a cooler shower. A little care between appointments goes a long way — and your colourist will high-five you for it.

🛁 Wash Day Rituals: Turn Your Shower Into a Hair Spa

Less rush, more rinse-and-repeat joy.

Let’s be honest — wash day can sometimes feel like a chore. The shampoo. The conditioner. The detangling. The inevitable moment you realise you forgot a towel. Again. But what if it didn’t have to be a battle? What if it could be your weekly moment of peace (with great hair as the bonus)?

Let us show you the way.

🧼 Start With a Double Cleanse (Your Hair Will Love You)

Yep, just like your skincare. First cleanse to break down product, dry shampoo, and city gunk. Second cleanse to actually clean your hair. Evo The Therapist Hydrating Shampoo is a dream for dry or colour-treated strands — gentle but thorough, and smells like something you’d find in a boutique spa.

💧 Go Deep With a Treatment

Now for the magic moment: Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector or Evo The Great Hydrator Moisture Mask — pick your potion. Olaplex is your bond-repairing superhero, while Evo brings the hydration party. Smooth it through mid-lengths to ends, clip it up, and vibe out for 10–30 mins.

Need a little multitasking action? Pop on a face mask. Scroll Instagram. Sip wine. Fold washing (only if absolutely necessary).

💨 Post-Rinse Vibes

Once you’ve rinsed, detangle with a wide-tooth comb and wrap in a microfibre towel (or a soft T-shirt if you’re fancy like that). Then apply Happy Campers Leave-In Treatment for heat protection and hydration without the weight. Air-dry, blow-dry, or just let the hair gods do their thing.

🕯️ Bonus: Set the Mood

Add a candle (this is our fave). Play a playlist. Turn your bathroom into a mini sanctuary. Hair care doesn’t have to be rushed or routine — it can be a ritual. One that leaves your hair soft, shiny, and smugly fabulous.

Too Long; didn’t Read:

Treat wash day like self-care Sunday. Cleanse, treat, chill, and style with love. Your hair will glow, your soul will exhale, and you might even start looking forward to it.

🌬️ Frizz Fix: Humidity, Who? Smooth Hair, Always.

Frizz doesn’t get to run the show – you do.

You know the moment. You’ve styled your hair. It’s looking fab. You walk outside… and BAM. You’re a fluffball. Instant humidity explosion. Whether it’s beach day, rainy day or just muggy-for-no-reason day, frizz loves to test our patience.

Luckily, you’re about to become unbothered and un-frizzed.

💧 Start With the Right Wash

Hydration is the name of the game. Dry hair = open cuticle = frizz city. Start with Evo The Therapist Hydrating Shampoo + Conditioner to keep hair nourished and protected right from the shower. No squeaky, stripped strands allowed here — just smooth, calm, shiny hair that’s ready to take on the world (or at least the weather).

🔥 Style Smart: Add the Frizz Shield

Next up: heat styling, but make it safe. Evo Easy Tiger Smoothing Balm is your go-to here. It’s a heat-activated smoothing balm that tames frizz, adds shine, and keeps your style in place without turning your hair into a helmet. Sleek, soft, and touchable? Yes, please.

Going heatless today? Use Happy Campers Leave-In instead — it adds moisture and protection with zero effort. Lazy girl luxe? Always.

💨 Lock It In With a Shine Spray

Once you’ve styled, seal the deal with Love Touch Shine Spray — a weightless finishing spray that keeps frizz at bay and adds a bit of “yes, I did just step out of a salon” sheen.

Oh, and no crunch. We don't do that here.

🏋️‍♀️ Post-Gym Hair: From Sweat to Sleek in 60 Seconds

Your hair shouldn’t tell people how many burpees you just did, or that your run coach surprised with you a threshold test!!

So you’ve crushed your workout. Endorphins: pumping. Muscles: flexing. Hair? Uh… not exactly thriving. If your post-gym strands tend to go from “ponytail chic” to “sweaty bird’s nest,” you’re not alone.

But you can look like you’ve got it together, even when you’ve just sprinted through spin class.

💦 Step 1: Mist It, Don’t Wash It

Unless you're diving headfirst into a shampoo bowl, you need a refresh that works fast. Enter: Olaplex No.4D Dry Shampoo. This isn’t your basic powder bomb — it’s lightweight, scalp-friendly, and leaves your hair feeling clean (not chalky). Perfect for a quick pick-me-up before heading to work or brunch.

Want a little more grip and volume? Swap or layer with Evo Water Killer Dry Shampoo for texture and that lived-in “yes, I do Pilates and have great hair” kind of vibe.

✨ Step 2: Leave-In = Life Saver

If your ends are feeling thirsty, spritz on Evo Happy Campers Wearable Treatment. It’s a leave-in that hydrates, detangles, smooths, and protects – basically a full squad in one spray. No rinsing, no fuss. Just shiny, healthy-looking hair that says, “what sweat?”

🧠 Step 3: Style and Go

Low bun, slick pony, loose braid, textured waves – your post-workout hairdo doesn’t need to scream “I was just upside-down on a mat.” Dry shampoo + leave-in + a cute claw clip = instant recovery mode. Bonus: you’ll still have time to grab coffee.

Too Long; Didn’t Read:

You can sweat it out and step out looking fab. With dry shampoo, leave-in treatment, and a little styling magic, post-gym hair can totally be part of the glow-up.

🔧 Bond Repair 101: Because Split Ends Aren’t a Personality Trait

Bleach, heat, stress... your hair’s been through it. Let’s fix that.

There’s damage... and then there’s “my hair actually sounds crunchy when I move” kind of damage. Whether you’ve been lightening for years, living in the land of heat tools, or just forgot to book your trims for the last 6 months (guilty), your hair might be crying out for more than just a quick conditioner.

But here’s the thing: your hair can bounce back. It just needs the right kind of support system – and we’ve got two powerhouses that work on a molecular level to get the job done.

🧪 Olaplex: Rebuilding Disulfide Bonds Like a Boss

Disulfide bonds are the teeny-tiny structures inside your hair that keep it strong, resilient and, well, together. When you colour, bleach, or heat style, those bonds break — which leads to breakage, split ends, dullness, and that dreaded “snapped off in the brush” moment.

Olaplex No.0 and No.3 are like the repair crew for those broken bridges. No.0 primes the hair, making it more absorbent, while No.3 dives in to rebuild and relink the disulfide bonds, literally putting the structure of your hair back together. It’s not just surface-level softness — it’s internal repair, and it shows.

Use them weekly for ongoing damage, or monthly for maintenance. More strength, less snapping. Yes please.

💧 K.2.0: Rebuilding Peptides for Silky, Soft Resilience

Now that your bonds are bonded, let’s talk peptides. When your hair is damaged, the peptide chains — which help hold the entire fibre together — get disrupted. That’s where the Lakmé K.2.0 Recover Hyaluronic Treatment comes in. It’s designed to fill and repair those peptide chains, giving structure back to the fibre and restoring softness and elasticity.

The bonus? It’s also packed with vegan hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration at every level. So not only is your hair being rebuilt, it's also getting moisturised AF. We’re talking strength and softness. A total main character moment.

Apply after shampooing, leave it in for 5–10 minutes, and rinse. Use it once a week or whenever your hair’s feeling sad, dry, or just kinda meh.

🛠️ Teamwork Makes the Hair Work

Use Olaplex to rebuild the bonds and K.2.0 to restore peptides and lock in hydration. Think of it like renovating your house and hiring an interior designer. One fixes the structure, the other makes it livable (and super cute).

Your hair can recover from pretty much anything with the right science. Fix the inside with Olaplex, repair and rehydrate with Lakmé, and strut out like the damage never happened.

💁‍♀️ Curly Girl Love: Define Without the Crunch

Frizz? Who? Your curls have entered their main character era.

There’s a lot of love out there for curls right now — and about time, too. But with all the info (and ahem, misinformation) floating around, figuring out what actually works for your spirals can feel... a little like trying to detangle them dry. Painful and unnecessary.

So let’s make it simple: curls want hydration, hold, and zero crunchy nonsense. Here's how to make that happen.

💦 Step 1: Co-Wash It Gently

If your curls are drier than a gossip-free salon shift, ditch the daily shampooing and try co-washing. Evo Heads Will Roll Co-Wash is a creamy cleanser that gently removes build-up without stripping natural oils. It’s packed with nourishing goodness and lets your curls hang on to the moisture they’re so thirsty for.

Use it between shampoo days or whenever your curls need a refresh without the fuss.

💧 Step 2: Treat (And Don’t Cheat)

Hydration is everything — and curls don’t just want it, they need it. Enter: the dynamic moisture duo.

For deep hydration and all-over softness, go for Evo The Great Hydrator Moisture Mask — perfect for curls that are feeling rough, thirsty, or straight-up moody.

Need something curl-specific? Evo Baby Got Bounce Curl Treatment is your go-to for definition, strength, and softness, especially if your spirals are feeling sad after heat or colour. It restores bounce, revives shape, and smells divine. Use once a week, or whenever your curls start ghosting you.

✨ Step 3: Define Without The Crunch

Now, for the big moment: styling. Scrunch in Evo Liquid Rollers Curl Balm while your hair’s still damp. It gives definition and soft hold, meaning your curls stay shapely without feeling like they’ve been lacquered in place.

Pro move: don't touch your hair until it's completely dry. We know, it’s hard. But trust the process. Once it’s dry, flip and fluff for volume that says “I woke up like this,” even if it took three steps and a diffuser.

Curls love moisture, definition, and a little space to do their thing. Ditch the frizz and the crunch — these products work with your texture, not against it.

✂️ Split End S.O.S.: Save the Length, Ditch the Damage

When your ends are saying “snip me,” but your heart says “grow, baby, grow.”

Look, we’re not anti-trim — we love a tidy-up. But if you’re trying to hold onto length while your ends are holding on for dear life, there’s hope. Split ends don’t always mean “cut now.” Sometimes, they just need a little damage control.

Here’s how to keep growing without feeling like you’re constantly playing catch-up with your scissors.

💪 Step 1: Strengthen From the Inside

If your hair is snapping more than a group chat during a breakup, you need to start with structure. Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector is your go-to for repairing internal damage by rebuilding disulfide bonds (aka the glue that keeps hair together).

Use it weekly. Layer it over Olaplex No.0 if your hair’s in full SOS mode. It’s basically a home repair kit for stressed strands.

💧 Step 2: Moisturise Like You Mean It

Dry ends = cranky ends = split ends. Hydration is your bestie here. Evo The Great Hydrator Moisture Mask delivers a silky-soft finish and helps prevent that straw-like situation from escalating.

Want extra credit? Alternate with Lakmé K.2.0 Hyaluronic Recover Treatment. It fills in broken peptide chains, restoring elasticity and softness while hydrating deeply with vegan hyaluronic acid. That’s science-talk for “your ends will feel like hair again.”

✨ Step 3: Seal It In — and Always, Always Use Heat Protection

Let’s be crystal clear: if you’re heat styling anything, you need a protectant. No excuses. No “just a quick straighten.” Heat damage is a major split end saboteur — and once they’re back, they don’t leave quietly.

Evo Icon Welder Heat Protection Spray is your styling guardian angel. It creates a lightweight, invisible barrier that shields strands from the sizzling wrath of hot tools. Think of it as SPF for your hair — without the greasy feel.

Spray it on damp or dry hair before any heat, and style with peace of mind. It’s one tiny step that makes a massive difference in preventing future breakage.

TL;DR:

Split ends? They don’t have to win. Rebuild, rehydrate, and protect. With bond repair, moisture masks, and heat protection, you can keep growing your dream hair — no scissors necessary.
