Your costume was a hit, but your hair probably took a hit too. Temporary color sprays, glitter, hairspray, wig caps and heavy teasing can leave hair dry, tangled and stiff. Here's a simple post-Halloween hair detox.
Day 1: Detangle and remove the buildup
- Brush before you wash. Use a wide-tooth comb or a vented detangling brush, working from the ends upward to release teased knots.
- Pre-treat with oil. A little coconut or argan oil helps loosen color spray and glitter.
- Wash twice. The first wash removes product; the second actually cleans your scalp.
Day 2: Restore moisture
Color sprays and hairspray contain alcohol that dries the hair. Apply a rich mask like the Hydrating Keratin Hair Mask for 10–15 minutes and rinse with cool water.
Day 3: Let your scalp breathe
Wig caps trap sweat and press on the hairline. Skip tight ponytails, massage your scalp and let hair air-dry if you can.
Still frizzy after a week?
If teasing roughed up the cuticle, a smoothing treatment can reset it. The Japanese Botox Keratin Mask helps repair and calm frizz, just in time for holiday party season.
Halloween is one night. With this quick detox, your hair will be back to soft and shiny in a few days.
