The Shine Series #2: My Updated Hair Care Routine 🧴🎀

Not sponsored — I just really love hair care and I’m sharing my honest routine 💕✨

Do you ever find yourself watching five TikTok reviews and scrolling through saved Instagram posts before buying a product? 📲📸🎥
Same here. But this time, I’ve done the testing for you — and I’m sharing what truly worked for me ✌🏼

In this post, you’ll find my updated hair care routine, the differences between my morning and evening routines, the products I actually use, and how I use them.
No filters, just real results. And yes, you’ll see the before & after effects too.

🎁 Bonus: Affordable but Effective
The key is not how expensive they are, but how and when you use them.
I’ll share my luxury picks in a future post — but for now, let’s master the basics.

🌞 Morning vs. 🌙 Night – Two Different Needs
Over time, I realized my hair needs different care depending on the time of day.
It wants to wake up gently in the morning and relax at night. So I built my routine accordingly:

🌞 Morning Routine:
– Light leave-in conditioner or spray
– Gentle detangling with a wide-tooth comb
– Air drying or low heat with diffuser
– A touch of moisturizing serum on the ends

💯Goal: Wake my hair up without stressing it.

🌙 Night Routine:
– Quick scalp massage with fingertips
– Sometimes with rosemary oil
– Loose braid or bun
– Satin pillowcase
– A few nights per week: intense moisturizing mask or night serum

💯Goal: Nourish and reset my hair overnight.

🧴 Products I Actually Use;

I don’t use the same products every day, but I stick to a consistent system.
Here’s my core product team:

– Shampoo: Pantene Pro-V Rice Water Sulfate-Free Shampoo
– Conditioner: Same line – Rice Water Sulfate-Free Conditioner
– Day Serum: Pantene Hydra Glow “Goodbye Dry Ends” Serum
– Night Serum: Pantene Hydra Glow Night Serum
– Weekly Treatment: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner

❗️Note:
If your hair is natural or dyed blonde and feels dry, these products may work really well for you too.
Sulfate-free formulas and moisturizing serums help maintain softness and shine.

👋🏼Helpful Tools – Because Application Matters!

Scalp Massager
I don’t use it every time😇, but when I apply masks or oils, this little tool helps a lot:
– Boosts circulation in the scalp
– Helps products absorb better
– Can support healthy hair growth

3D Flexible Brush
Where does it work best?
-Helps reduce breakage while preserving your hair’s natural shape
-Suitable for both wet and dry hair
-Detangles without disrupting waves or curls

💧 Extra Care: La Rachel Holistic Hair Oil and Clerasse Hair
On days when my hair feels extra dry or stressed, I turn to this:
La Rachel Paris Holistic Hair Care Complex — made with 14 natural oils.

What’s inside?
Black poppy seed, sesame, hazelnut, black cumin, flaxseed, rosemary, almond, wheat extract, poppy seed oil, walnut, coconut, grape seed, pumpkin seed, castor oil.
How I use it: 💆🏼‍♀️
– Massage into scalp once or twice a week
– Or apply to ends 15–20 minutes before shower🧖🏼‍♀️
It noticeably reduced shedding and added more strength and fullness to my hair.

📝 Note: This specific oil was brought from Turkey, and it’s been a great support so far.
However, for those based in Switzerland or Europe, I recently started trying Clerasse Hair Oil, which has a very similar ingredient list and properties.
I’m still in the early days of using it — but I’ll share detailed thoughts once I see the long-term results!

🖼️ Before & After – Does It Really Work?
Before: Dull, dry, tangled hair with breakage at the ends.
After: Softer, shinier, more defined texture and easier to manage.
