8 Steps Hair Care Routine by @angelairenery: Secrets to Long, Healthy & Glossy Hair

I've always wondered how to keep long hair healthy, shiny and tangle-free without daily salon visits. In her latest routine, @angelairenery finally shares the exact 8-step wash day ritual she does every two days. As someone with long hair too, I tried the full sequence and I can honestly say my hair feels softer, stronger, and much easier to style all day long.

Why Hair Oiling Before Shampoo Changes Everything

The real game-changer is the pre-wash oil treatment. @angelairenery starts with a hair oil and her current favorite is Nutrifarm Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Cold Pressed EVCO. It's pure, lightweight and smells naturally fresh.

• Warm a small amount between your palms
• Apply evenly from mid-lengths to ends, keep it lighter on the roots if you have oily scalp
• Leave on for 1 hour as a nourishing mask before shampooing

This step deeply hydrates, prevents breakage and protects hair from getting stripped during washing. After an hour, rinse with lukewarm water — not hot — to lift the oil gently while keeping the cuticle smooth and shiny.

The Double Shampoo Method and Conditioner Trick

Step two is shampooing, and the star is Aepura Red-Ginseng Hair-Activating Shampoo 300ml. I love how refreshing it feels and how clean the scalp gets without that dry, squeaky feeling.

• Shampoo 2-3 times per wash to fully remove oil and buildup
• Massage with fingertips, not nails, to stimulate the scalp
• Rinse thoroughly before moving to conditioner

For conditioner, use a generous amount matched to your length and thickness. Apply only from mid-shaft to ends, never on the scalp, leave for 2-5 minutes, then rinse. My hair instantly felt silkier and detangled in seconds without weighing down the roots.

Strengthen Roots and Ends: Hair Tonic, Serum & Scalp Serum

This is where @angelairenery's routine really cares for both scalp and strands:

1. Hair tonic - spray evenly across the entire scalp, don't skip spots, then gently massage with fingertips
2. Blow-dry with cool air first to remove excess dampness safely
3. Hair serum - apply only on the hair shaft, avoid the roots, smooth through all strands
4. Blow-dry again with warm (not hot) air and comb through gently
5. Scalp serum - apply once scalp is completely dry, perfect if you have thinning areas or want to boost new baby hair growth

Important note: Don't mix up your serums. Hair serum is for shine and frizz control on the lengths, while scalp serum works directly on the roots to strengthen and encourage healthy growth.

Long-Lasting Finish: Curling Essence and Hair Mist

The final steps lock in the look. Before curling or straightening, @angelairenery uses a curling essence to make waves last all day — even for days. It gives bounce without stiffness and protects from heat.

Finish with a hair mist all over for a fresh, lasting fragrance and extra protection. This combo leaves hair glossy, bouncy and salon-fresh after every wash.

If you struggle with fallout or dry long hair, this 8-step routine is absolutely worth trying. From natural coconut oil pre-treatment to the fragrant hair mist finale, every step works together beautifully for stronger, softer hair.
