Hair restoration in steps – from analysis to results
Hair restoration isn't a product, but a process. Every recovery journey begins with knowledge—not a mask. In the PRO HAIR Academy, we teach that true restoration comes from a systematic approach: from diagnosis to final result , following scientific logic. Every hair is different, but the steps are universal.
1. Analysis – the basis of every treatment plan
No treatment works without a thorough analysis.
✔ Observe shine, elasticity and structure.
✔ Determine porosity, hydration and protein content.
✔ Identify whether the damage is chemical, thermal, or mechanical.
If necessary, use a digital hair analysis camera for microscopic precision.
➡️ Goal: To know what the hair is missing – moisture, lipids or bonds.
2. Cleansing – reset for the hair
For recovery, hair must be free of residue, silicone, and build-up .
✔ Use a mild but deep cleansing shampoo (clarifying).
✔ Restore pH with a slightly acidic formula (pH 5.0–5.5).
✔ Rinse with lukewarm water to open the cuticle.
➡️ Goal: To clear the way for active ingredients.
3. Reconstruction – restoring the cortex
The core of hair restoration lies in restoring keratin and amino acid chains in the cortex.
✔ Use professional treatments such as Hair Botox, Bioplastia or Plex systems .
✔ Work with hydrolyzed keratin, collagen and cysteine .
✔ Combine with heat to improve absorption.
➡️ Goal: Rebuild internal structure and strength.
4. Hydration – bringing moisture back into the fiber
After reconstruction it is time to restore balance .
✔ Apply a hydrating mask with panthenol, hyaluronic acid or aloe vera .
✔ Close the cuticle with a pH-restoring spray.
✔ Limit heat – moisture loss is enemy number one.
➡️ Purpose: Restore suppleness, elasticity and softness.
5. Nutrition – replenish lipids and oils
The lipid layer around the cuticle is essential for shine and protection.
✔ Use masks with argan, macadamia or coconut oil .
✔ Add ceramides for long-lasting smoothness.
✔ Avoid heavy oils on fine hair – choose light textures.
➡️ Purpose: Enhance shine and external protection.
6. Protection – Maintaining results
After recovery, maintenance is crucial.
✔ Use heat protectants with every styling.
✔ Choose sulfate-free shampoos.
✔ Limit chemical treatments to at least three weeks after reconstruction.
✔ Protect against sun and chlorine with leave-in sprays.
➡️ Goal: long-term stability of the new structure.
7. Evaluation – measuring the difference
Professional salons measure results.
✔ Check elasticity and shine after 1, 4 and 8 weeks.
✔ Repeat reconstruction only after 6–8 weeks.
✔ Advise the client on home maintenance: the right shampoo, mask and protection.
➡️ Goal: sustainable results and customer satisfaction.
