Tips for Hydrating Your Hair

1. Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner:

Opt for moisturizing and sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners -- like MASAMI. Look for ingredients like coconut oil, aloe, Mekabu and sea kelp which help retain moisture in your hair.

2. Limit Washing Frequency:

Washing your hair too frequently can strip away natural oils. Try to wash your hair only when necessary and consider co-washing (using conditioner only) between shampoos to retain moisture.

3. Use Lukewarm Water:

Hot water can be drying to both your scalp and hair. Wash your hair with lukewarm water instead, and finish with a cool rinse to help seal the hair cuticle and add shine.

4. Deep Conditioning Treatments:

Treat your hair to regular deep conditioning treatments. Choose a hydrating mask or conditioner and leave it on for longer than usual to allow the ingredients to penetrate deeply into your hair shaft.

5. Protect Your Hair Outdoors:

Wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair from harsh winds and cold temperatures. This not only keeps your hair looking great but also prevents it from becoming overly dry and brittle.

6. Avoid Over-styling:

Limit the use of heated styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons. If you must use them, apply a heat protectant spray first to minimize damage.

7. Maintain a Healthy Diet:

Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals contributes to healthy hair. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and walnuts, can also help keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.

8. Hydrate from Within:

Don't forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Hydrating your body helps maintain moisture levels in your scalp and hair.

By following these simple yet effective tips, you can keep your hair hydrated and healthy throughout the winter season. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to hair care, so incorporate these practices into your routine to see the best results. With a little extra care, you can maintain beautiful, nourished hair even when the weather outside is frightful. So, embrace the winter wonderland knowing your hair is well-protected and ready to shine!

One of the most common culprits behind dull, lifeless hair is the use of shampoos that contain sulfates. These harsh surfactants, commonly found in traditional shampoos, are designed to create a lather but can strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. This not only dries out your hair but can also make it look dull and lackluster over time.

Switching to a vegan, sulfate-free shampoo is one of the easiest and most effective ways to boost your hair's natural shine. Vegan shampoos are typically formulated with gentle, plant-based cleansers that cleanse your hair without stripping it of moisture. Ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and argan oil are commonly used in vegan shampoos to help maintain the hair's natural hydration, leaving it smooth and glossy. These ingredients also provide a natural shine without relying on synthetic chemicals that could harm your hair in the long term.

Another effective way to enhance your hair's natural shine is by using vegan conditioners. Conditioners are formulated to provide long-lasting moisture without the need for rinsing. This makes them perfect for daily use to keep your hair hydrated and glossy throughout the day.

At MASAMI, we believe that life should be simpler.  And your choice should be clean. You shouldn’t have to choose between toxic ingredients and performance.  And sustainability shouldn’t be an afterthought.

And in haircare, you shouldn’t have to choose between shine, volume, color protection, hydration or healthy hair.  You should have a product that gives you everything. It should smell amazing without being overpowering. You shouldn’t need to use extra products to compensate for what it’s missing.  

We created MASAMI, to work for virtually every hair type. For men and for women. For beauty fans and for non-fan types. As we take inspiration from our Japanese roots, we’re constantly reminded that simplicity is a very good thing.
