Brittle hair routine
Brittle hair routine: hydrate, nourish and protect
Does your hair break easily, especially along the lengths and at the ends?
A suitable routine can help you preserve the fibre, limit everyday damage and get back hair that is softer and easier to style.
At Maree, we've designed a simple ritual around three essential steps:
Hydrate → nourish → protect
Why does hair break?
Hair can become brittle when weakened by dryness, dehydration, heat, colouring, friction or overly rough detangling.
Dry, brittle hair is particularly hard to handle: it can lack suppleness and become more vulnerable during styling.
To understand the different causes of breakage, read our guide:
The Maree routine for brittle hair
Step 1 – Hydrate
A fibre that lacks hydration can become dry, rough and less supple.
Start your routine with a hydrating product suited to your hair.
The Maree Duo combines ingredients used in hydrating care such as aloe vera, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and glycerine.

Step 2 – Nourish
Fragile hair also needs nourishment to keep the fibre supple and comfortable.
The Corsican Immortelle Hair Oil combines argan oil and coconut oil.
Argan oil is known for strengthening and protecting the fibre, while coconut oil is designed especially for dry, fragile hair and helps limit breakage.

Step 3 – Protect
Protection is essential to avoid weakening your lengths again.
Limit friction, detangle gently and avoid excessive heat as much as possible.
A few drops of oil can also be used as a finisher on the lengths and ends.
Maree Hair Oil is designed as a dry oil that absorbs without leaving a greasy residue.
How to use the Hair Oil on brittle hair?
You can adapt how you use it to your routine.
As an oil treatment
Before washing, apply the oil to your lengths and ends.
Leave it on, then follow your usual washing routine.
Before styling
Apply a small amount to your lengths to nourish and soften them.
As a finisher
Apply a few drops to the ends and the areas that look driest.
Always start with a small amount to avoid overloading the fibre.
What routine for dry, brittle hair?
If your hair is both dry and brittle, choose a routine that combines hydration and nourishment.
Hydrate → nourish → protect
And above all, don't pile on products: consistency and gentle habits matter as much as the number of products you use.
