Neuma’s Step by Step Guide to Building a Hair Care Routine You Love
Cleanse gently, but intentionally
On the surface, choosing a strong shampoo with a powerful formula may seem like the healthiest move for your hair. But to achieve soft, fluid, and naturally voluminous locks, a gentle cleanser is actually the healthier choice!
The key to effective shampooing is to wash away build-up without over-stripping your scalp’s natural oils. From our fan favorite Neu Moisture Shampoo to the body-boosting Neu Volume Shampoo, our collection of cleansers is all about targeting specific hair goals—and encouraging your hair to balance its own hydration levels.
If you still prefer a deep clean, try rotating in Re Neu Clarifying Shampoo every few washes or even before another shampoo as a first cleanse. You’ll love how it detoxifies and clarifies for a soft, touchable, and incredibly refreshed finish.
Think of conditioner as essential nourishment
Every condition is an opportunity to pack your hair with the hydration, softness, and texture-enhancing nutrients it's been missing. If you haven’t put much thought into your conditioner selection, it’s time to level up your formula!
For a root lift that leaves your hair fluid, bouncy, and full of body, consider our top-selling Neu Volume Conditioner. This ultra-light formula fortifies strands and protects against flatness while boosting shine from end to end.
For help fighting damage, you’ll love how Neu Repair Conditioner nurses your scalp and roots! Combined with the rest of the Neu Repair collection, you can start seeing results within weeks.
For a burst of hydration, Neu Moisture Conditioner will complement any routine with added shine, fluidity, and frizz control.

Find a treatment you LOVE and use it (at least) once a week
No hair care routine is complete without a weekly intensive treatment—especially if your hair undergoes regular coloring and lightening. Like daily conditioner, treatments are also an opportunity to nourish your strands for a specific hair health goal.
At Neuma, we proudly formulate two treatment masks you can use in the shower in under five minutes:
- Neu Moisture Masque: an ultra-rich hydrator for improved smoothness, luster, and shine.
- Neu Repair Treatment Masque: an infusion of nourishment to help revive dry, brittle, and damaged hair.
When it comes to hair health treatments, consistency is key. Select one day of the week to indulge in a mask, and stick to it!
After showering, always leave in a leave-in
Your wash day routine shouldn’t end with a shower. Your hair is most absorbent when wet and damp, so after every wash, use a leave-in spray to spritz essential hair health nutrients from mid-lengths to ends.
No matter your hair type, length, or color, our Neu Moisture Instant Fix has everything you need to promote healthy strands all day long. It releases tangles, restores softness, improves slip, enhances shine, and delivers heat protection—AKA, a true catch-all formula.
If you prefer ultra-light oil-based treatments, Neu Moisture Argan Oil yields similar results!
If you’re dealing with extra damage this season, opt for Neu Repair Leave-In Treatment to promote a swift return to health.
Prep your hair for every blowout
Beyond a leave-in conditioner, there’s another way to improve the results of your blow-drying session: a heat-activated styler.
Take Neu Styling Smoothing Crème. This nourishing blend smooths the cuticle and defies frizz for a luminous, silk-like, and frizz-free finish. Or, consider Neu Styling Mousse, a volume-booster that primes hair for a full and lifted finish.
For even body and bounce, apply Neu Volume Styling Spray on damp hair for added definition, separation, and body.
Skipping the blow dryer? The Neu Styling Air-Dry Shaper helps you control and enhance your natural texture without using heat tools.
Seal every styling sesh with a finisher
Once your heat styling magic is complete, always lock it in with a finisher tailored to your hair goals.
For a sleek texture and lots of shine, Neu Moisture Argan Oil. For separation, definition, and grip, spray some Neu Styling Texturizer. For control and stick, use Neu Styling Flexible Hairspray or Neu Styling Clay.
Like a styling primer, a styling finisher will make your favorite look last longer and feel fresher.
Between wash days, revisit treatments sprays and stylers
Just because it isn’t wash day doesn’t mean you can’t give your strands a quick boost!
When you can’t squeeze in a shower but need some rejuvenation, Re Neu Dry Shampoo will absorb excess oil and give your roots a texturized lift.
You can also use the Neu Styling Texturizer on dry hair, as well as the Neu Moisture Instant Fix for quick hydration help.
Learn to love a trim!
Finally, never underestimate the power of a quick trim between color sessions. This simple step prevents split ends, contributing to softer, sleeker, and faster-growing hair. For maximum results, aim to schedule a trim every six to eight weeks!
Congratulations — you’re now one step closer to building your healthiest hair routine yet!
