Cheerleading is intense. Between tight hairstyles, hairspray, and competitions, your hair takes a lot of abuse.
In this episode, we welcome Éric St-Jean, hairdresser, educator and owner of the Arcanic salon, to answer a real-world question:
👉 How to keep your hair healthy all season long?
🎀 In competition: what really damages your hair
Let's be honest: cheerleading is rough on the hair.
spray net
freeze
creping
heat
tight elastic bands
👉 And repeated over years… it eventually shows.
🚿 After a competition: the ESSENTIAL routine
This is the most important (and most forgotten) moment.
1. Clarifying shampoo
To remove all residue
2. Regular Shampoo
For gentle cleaning
3. Hair mask
👉 Essential for repairs
💡 No hair mask = dry and brittle hair in the long run
🧴 Good products make the difference
Not all shampoos are created equal.
👉 The higher the quality of a product:
the more active ingredients it contains
the less diluted it is
the more it actually treats the hair
One key point to remember:
👉 Avoid shampoos that are too rich in sulfates (because they dry out the hair)
And no, just because a word is complicated doesn't mean it's bad 😉 Chemistry is one of the good products.
🔥 Before styling your hair: protect your hair
Whether you use a flat iron or a curling iron:
👉 The thermal protector is mandatory
Without it, you're literally "cooking" your hair.
💧 Hydration: the real secret
No matter your hair type:
straight
wavy
curly
👉 Hydration is key
And even more so for curly hair, which requires:
richer products
more frequent mask-wearing
📆 Year-round: the winning routine
To keep your hair healthy all season long:
✔️ Good shampoos
✔️ Suitable conditioner
✔️ Mask can be washed 2-3 times
✔️ Thermal protector
✔️ Suitable styling products
✔️ Consistent routine
👉 It's not complicated… but you have to be disciplined
