A Step-by-Step Routine by Pinklablonde Experts
Applying the right products is only half the battle—how you apply them makes all the difference. At Pinklablonde, we’re all about slowing down and treating your haircare as a ritual. The correct layering technique can help boost shine, improve hydration, and protect your hair long term.
Here’s our professional take on how to layer your hair products for the best results—whether you're prepping for a sleek blowout or a soft, lived-in look.
1. Start with a Repair Treatment
On clean, towel-dried hair, always begin with the most reparative product. These work inside the hair fiber to rebuild strength and elasticity.
Pinklablonde Favourites:
Why it matters: These treatments need to touch the hair first to penetrate deeply.
2. Apply a Leave-In or Detangling Spray
Next, mist a lightweight leave-in conditioner or detangler to reduce breakage, hydrate, and prep the hair for styling.

Bonus: This step makes brushing easier and styling smoother.
3. Treat the Scalp
Don’t skip the root zone. A balanced, nourished scalp is key to healthy hair growth and long-term volume.

Pro tip: Gently massage the product in to stimulate circulation.
4. Nourish with a Lotion or Hair Oil
Add softness and shine with a lightweight oil or hydrating cream. Apply from mid-lengths to ends for a glossy, controlled finish.
Pinklablonde Favourites:
Think of this like your face serum—but for your strands.
5. Finish with Styling Products
The last layer should reflect your styling goals—volume, texture, hold, or heat protection. These products create your desired finish and lock in the benefits of your routine.

This is the final step before your brush meets the blow-dryer.
Why This Method Works
Each product in your routine has a purpose—but the order of application is what helps it deliver results. Proper layering helps avoid product build-up, ensures maximum absorption, and creates a smoother, longer-lasting finish.
