DAY 8: HEAT PROTECTION PREP
Now that your hair is refreshed and revitalised after the 9-Day Detox, it’s time to keep it looking and feeling fabulous with the right prep. With bad habits, heated styling can be tough on your hair, but with the right routine, you can lock in the benefits of your detox while keeping your strands protected. Here’s your step-by-step guide:
- Start with a nourishing conditioner or hair mask. Apply a hydrating treatment like Magical Remedy to damp hair to restore strength and shine.
- Spritz on a heat protectant. A heat protectant spray like Magical Quick Dry Potion
creates a protective barrier against heat. Mist it evenly over your hair before blow-drying or using heated styling tools like straighteners or curling wands. - Style at the right heat for your hair type. Now your hair is prepped and protected, you can use your favourite heated styling tools without worry. To check which heat setting is perfect for your hair type, use our Temperature Calculator before switching on your hair dryer, wand, or hair straighteners.

How do I reduce frizz?
“Everyone has a different type of frizz, depending on their hair type. I call it the ‘frizz monitor’ and your level is determined by the type of hair you have. I would recommend you do your research and find out what solutions suit your hair best. You could give CLOUD NINE’s Magical Quick Dry Potion a try – it reduces flyaways, smooths the hair out, and helps reduce drying time by up to 50%.”
How can I get my hair to curl as I want?
“Usually, when clients ask me this question, it’s because they want to achieve a natural wave. This is unfortunately impossible unless you have type 1 (straight) to type 2 hair (wavy). Even my waves aren’t natural! You can achieve a wavy look using the Original Iron, and there’s also the Curling Wand (which I use quite a lot) which is really versatile – you can have it really curly or brush it out for a wavy look.”

How can I do a scalp massage at home?
“You don’t have to visit the salon to enjoy a gorgeous scalp massage – a DIY massage is just as effective. Simply place your hands on either side of your head, fingers apart to hit your pressure points – around your temples and behind your ears. Firmly move your hands over those areas in a slow, circular motion. For a cooling, refreshing touch, add a few drops of tea tree or peppermint oil to your scalp to massage into the skin. After your massage, style your hair in a loose style to let your scalp breathe. You could also add a leave-in mask like Magical Remedy – it smells divine.”
Do I have to use a heat protectant spray every time I style my hair?
“Yes, if you’re using heated styling tools, a protectant spray is a must. It creates a barrier between your hair and the heat, minimising damage and keeping your hair healthier in the long run. Even a quick blow-dry can cause harm, so spritzing on some protection is always worth it.”
Now you’re armed with Mathilde’s expert tips to care for and protect your newly replenished strands, it’s time to focus on post-detox healthy hair habits. Don’t forget to share your progress on our socials: TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
