Weekly Wash Routine

Step 1: Scalp Renewal (Once Weekly)

When to use:
On clean scalp, preferably in the evening.

How to use:

  • Ensure scalp is clean and completely dry
  • Use a sterile derma stamp (1mm, depending on tolerance)
  • Stamp gently in sections
  • Do not drag across scalp
  • Light, controlled pressure only

Treatment time: 5–8 minutes total.

Important:
You should see mild redness, not bleeding.

Why this matters:
Micro-stimulation encourages scalp renewal and improves absorption of actives applied afterward.

Step 2: Apply Scalp Oil (Immediately After Stamping)

How to use:

  • Apply a small amount of scalp oil directly to the stamped sections

  • Switch on the LED scalp massager

  • Use light pressure to gently glide over treated areas for 5–10 minutes

  • Allow the oil to absorb — no aggressive manual massage needed

Leave overnight.

Why this step matters:

After stamping, the scalp is more receptive to active ingredients.

Using the LED massager to apply the oil:

  • Enhances distribution across the scalp

  • Supports circulation

  • Improves absorption of botanical actives

  • Reduces the need for manual friction

This keeps stimulation controlled and intentional — not inflammatory.

Step 3: Cleanse

Personalised Shampoo

How to use:

  • Apply to the scalp only.
  • Massage gently, then lather the foam from the scalp onto the rest of the hair.
  • Avoid aggressively scrubbing the lengths — cleansing the scalp is the priority.
  • Only apply shampoo to the ends if you have really long hair and the foam from the scalp isn’t enough to cover it. Use small amounts.
  • Leave on for 2-3 minutes.
  • Rinse thoroughly.

Why this works:

Cleanses and balances the scalp while protecting porous, smoothing-treated lengths from overdrying.

Step 4: Condition (Most Important Step)

Personalised Conditioner

How to use:

  • Apply generously to mid-lengths and ends
  • Detangle gently by using a wet brush to comb out any knots picked up during washing.
  • Leave on for 5-7 minutes. 
  • Rinse with lukewarm to cool water
  • Conditioning time is more important than quantity. Combing the hair with a wet brush helps to distribute the conditioner.

Why this step is essential:
 For high-porosity hair — especially after a Brazilian Blowout — sufficient conditioning time restores flexibility and softness.

This is the primary hydration step of the routine.

Step 5: Wash Day Styling (Choose One Option)

Heat Styling Days

#3 Shield & Shine Heat Protector

  • Apply a small amount to damp hair.
  • Focus on mid-lengths and ends and the outer layer.
  • Comb through with a wet brush and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  • Blow-dry or heat style as usual.

Why this works:

On wash day, hydration comes from the conditioner.
 This step seals and protects that moisture during heat styling without creating stiffness.

Heat protector and hair mist should not be layered on the same day.

Air-Dry / Non-Heat Day

Do not use the heat protector.

Apply #1 Frizz Control, Shine & Hydration Hair Mist to damp hair. Comb through hair with fingers or brush.

Let hair air dry naturally.

Apply another few pumps of the mist to settle flyaways if needed.

Step 6: Between Washes: Hydration and Frizz Control

#1 Frizz Control, Shine & Hydration Hair Mist

Use on dry hair, 2–3 times per week.

  • Lightly mist mid-lengths and ends. Avoid the scalp.
  • Smooth with your hands or use a brush to comb through.
  • No heat required.

Why this supports balance:
 High-porosity hair loses moisture between washes.

This mist gradually replenishes hydration, helping hair remain soft and flexible without heaviness.

Step 7: Between Washes: Hydration and Frizz Control

Thursday

How to use:

  • Apply a small amount of scalp oil directly to the scalp

  • Switch on the LED scalp massager

  • Glide gently over the scalp for 5–10 minutes using light pressure

  • Allow oil to absorb — no additional manual massage required

Step 8: Toning (Occasional Use Only)

Blue Pea Herbal Rinse – Anti-Yellow Toning Rinse

How often:
 Once every 2–3 weeks

How to use:

  • Apply after shampoo
  • Leave on 1–2 minutes
  • Rinse thoroughly
  • Follow with conditioner

Why moderation matters:
 Toning products are effective in small amounts. Overuse can reduce softness — particularly in porous or smoothing-treated hair.

Curl Styling Days

On curl days:

  • Apply Curl Definition Hair Mist to damp or dry hair
  • Scrunch and shape
  • Avoid layering heavy oils
  • Do not use the heat protector or Hydration Mist on the same day.

On hydration-only days:

  • Use Hydration Mist only

Each mist serves a different purpose:

Hydration Mist = moisture support
 Curl Mist = structure + definition

What to Expect

With consistent use, most customers experience:

  • Improved scalp comfort
  • More balanced moisture retention
  • Better curl formation
  • Reduced stiffness
  • Improved flexibility after styling
  • Hair that feels lighter yet nourished

Why This Routine Works

  • This system works because it:

    • Treats the scalp as the foundation
    • Adjusts hydration by porosity
    • Separates stimulation from nourishment
    • Separates curl structure from moisture support
    • Prevents product overlap
    • Encourages consistency over intensity

    Rather than reacting to problems, it creates balance.
