Do you want to have long, well-groomed natural hair?
Natural hair care (no dyes, highlights, or bleaching)
- Wash with strengthening shampoo for long natural hair:
Use a mild, strengthening shampoo to gently cleanse your hair for longer, stronger hair. Avoid daily use of drugstore or supermarket shampoos, as they can dry out your hair. From the Kerastase brand you have the «Extensioniste» range that strengthens hair from roots to ends and repairs any damage it may have suffered to help you keep it longer and longer. In this photo I show you the ones I use. Shampoo, mask, conditioner and a growth-enhancing serum.
Since I am clear that I like these products and that I am going to use them for a long time, I have preferred to buy them in a large size; but I understand that anyone who doesn’t know them will have their doubts…. Next I’ll put the shampoo here so you know which one:
KERASTASE Resistance Bain Extentioniste Shampoo | Length Strengthening Shampoo
Protects Hair and Scalp from External Aggressors | With Ceramides to Enhance Shine | For Damaged Hair
I always transfer a certain amount of shampoo to a smaller container when I have to go to the gym or travel. This way I save myself trouble if I forget or lose it somewhere.
- Conditioner:
The conditioner always goes after the shampoo when you are not going to apply anything else, since it closes the cuticles and prepares the hair for rinsing and drying. If you are going to wear a mask, then do not use conditioner until after rinsing off the mask.
Apply the conditioner to the ends of your hair to hydrate and soften and comb it through your hair. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing with warm water.
This conditioner is the one we have at home. It is the «fondant extensioniste» for long hair (or if you intend to grow it long).

- Natural Hair mask:
Apply a hair mask once a week to deeply nourish your hair and keep it healthy. Here I would like to make a point, and that is that there are several ranges of green Kerastase. The light green «arquitechte» repairer, which has numbering [1,2] and then there is the dark green range which is for intense repair with numbering [3,4]. Well, the «extensioniste» range, which is bright green, has the numbering [2,3], that is, intermediate (although it does not expressly say so). I know this because I was researching how to strengthen my hair without making it too weighed down. This is the extension mask that I use:

Strengthening Hair Mask | Detangles Hair and Seals Split Ends | Reinforces Length of Damaged Hair | With Proteins| For All Hair Types | 6.8 Fl Oz
- Brush gently:
Use a soft bristle brush to detangle hair without breaking it. Start from the tips and work your way up to the roots.
- Thermal protection:
If you use heat tools such as dryers or straighteners, apply a heat protectant to prevent hair damage.
- Regular cuts:
Trimming the ends from time to time helps keep hair healthy and eliminates split ends.
- Sun protection:
Protect your natural hair from the sun by wearing hats or sunscreen products to prevent damage caused by UV rays.
Strengthening, growth and anti-fall serums
As you may have noticed in the first photo, I explained that I use several products from the extensioniste range because I like my hair, the longer the better. Well, for this, shampoos and masks are great but in the end you will always need a good serum. In my case I use this one from the same range. I put it on the roots all over my head and then massage it well all over my scalp to make sure it is distributed well and absorbed.
The bad thing is that it comes in a small amount, but if you do it carefully and distribute it well it can last about 3 weeks. Of course, don’t expect miracles, hair, nails and skin have slow and long growth processes, so the results are seen after 3 uninterrupted months of using the serum.
Enriched with Ceramides, it repairs fibres from within to improve elasticity, while reducing split ends

By following these steps you can keep your natural hair very long, healthy, shiny and strong.
I hope they are useful to you!
