Leaving the salon with fresh hair, glowing skin, and perfectly shaped nails feels amazing. But the real challenge comes afterward — how do you maintain that salon-fresh look at home without losing shine, smoothness, or hydration?

At Neferthena, our beauty experts know the secrets to keeping your treatments lasting longer. Whether you’ve just got hair color, a blow-dry, facial, or nail treatment, these professional tips will help you stretch the results like a pro.

1. Choose the Right Products — The Foundation of At-Home Care

The most common mistake people make is switching back to cheap store-bought products right after visiting the salon. Why? Because low-quality shampoos strip away natural oils, fade hair color, and break the cuticle layer.

Here’s what professionals recommend instead:

• Use a sulfate-free, Anti-Breakage Shampoo to protect chemically treated or weakened strands

• Avoid shampoos with parabens and strong fragrances

• Always condition after every wash to lock in moisture

An Anti-Breakage Shampoo strengthens hair fibers, reduces split ends, and maintains the hairdresser’s finish longer.

2. Weekly Masking to Maintain Shine

Even if your hair looks perfect right now, weekly deep conditioning masks keep it soft, shiny, and nourished.

Pro Tip:

Apply a hair mask from mid-length to ends and wrap your hair with a warm towel for deeper penetration.

This spa-like technique helps keep your hair salon-smooth.

3. Heat Styling: Less is More

Your salon finish looks flawless because it’s done with professional tools and products. At home, daily heat styling can:

• Cause hair breakage

• Fade color

• Damage cuticles

• Dry out your ends

If you must use heat:

• Apply a heat protectant spray

• Use medium heat, not the highest setting

• Limit styling to 2–3 times a week

4. Invest in a Silk Pillowcase

Sounds dramatic — but it’s not. Cotton creates friction that leads to:

• Frizz

• Breakage

• Faster fade-outs

Switching to silk reduces friction and helps preserve that salon-fresh smoothness.

5. Nail Care: Keep Them Strong Between Appointments

Freshly manicured nails tend to weaken over time if not properly protected.

One of the most recommended products is the Herôme Nail Hardener. It’s ideal for:

• Brittle nails

• Post-gel or acrylic recovery

• Protecting nail tips from splitting

Apply 2–3 times a week for noticeably stronger, shiny nails.

6. Shelf Your Cuticle Cutter

Try to avoid cutting your cuticles at home. Instead:

• Use cuticle oil daily

• Push gently with a wooden stick

• Moisturize your hands frequently

This keeps your manicure looking neat and glossy.

7. Post-Facial Skin Care: Don’t Overwash

Right after leaving the salon, your skin is already deeply cleansed. Avoid heavy scrubs and harsh cleansers.

Instead, use a mild product such as a Clearing Skin Wash. It maintains:

• Pore clarity

• pH balance

• Oil control

Perfect for acne-prone or combination skin.

8. Stop Touching Your Skin

Your hands carry:

• Dust

• Bacteria

• Sweat

Touching your face too often, especially after facials, leads to clogged pores and breakouts.

Hands off — literally.

9. Use Sunscreen Every Single Day

UV rays can undo your salon skincare in days. Whether you’ve had:

• Facial

• Chemical exfoliation

• Pigmentation treatment

Always finish with SPF 30–50 even indoors.

This one habit alone keeps skin glowing longer.

10. Stay Hydrated — Your Glow Comes from Within

Your hair and skin need internal moisture.

Drink at least 8–10 glasses of water daily to maintain:

• Skin elasticity

• Natural glow

• Hair smoothness

Avoid excessive caffeine and sugary drinks — they dehydrate your skin.

11. Trim Regularly — Don’t Wait for Split Ends

Don’t wait for damage to show up. Visiting your salon every 6–8 weeks for a quick trim keeps ends healthy.

Split ends are like cracks — once they start, they travel upward.

12. Use Leave-In Serums

A lightweight serum helps:

• Reduce frizz

• Maintain shine

• Protect cuticles

Apply on damp hair and comb through evenly. It will keep your hair soft and manageable — just like salon day.

13. Keep Your Makeup Tools Clean

Dirty brushes can cause:

• Acne

• Clogged pores

• Redness

Wash makeup brushes weekly with mild soap and warm water.

14. Avoid Hot Showers

We all love them, but hot water strips moisture from:

• Scalp

• Skin

• Hair cuticles

Opt for lukewarm water to maintain hydration and protect salon treatments longer.
