Dry hair, split ends, greasy roots or blonde hair turning yellow: choosing the right Dessange hair care isn't about picking the prettiest packaging. An effective routine starts with a simple diagnosis of your needs, then checking the formula, how to use it, and whether it suits your habits.
A treatment for dry hair primarily provides comfort, softness and a smoother-feeling fibre. A product designed for damaged hair may also contain proteins, amino acids or film-forming agents to improve the fibre's appearance. That doesn't mean it permanently repairs it. When ends are very split, scissors are sometimes the best solution.
A nourishing Dessange mask is generally formulated for the lengths and ends. Applying it to the scalp risks weighing your hair down and needing to wash it more often. If your roots get greasy quickly while your ends are dry, choose a shampoo suited to your scalp and keep the mask for the areas that really need it.
Claims like "more nourished", "more shiny" or "less breakage" may be based on a very specific testing protocol. When a figure is stated, check whether it comes from an instrumental test, under what conditions it was obtained, and whether it applies to the whole range. Results can vary depending on porosity, length, colour treatment and frequency of use.
For simply dry hair, a formula containing emollients and moisturisers may be enough. For a treatment designed for very dry hair, go for a richer texture and use it sparingly, especially if the formula contains oils or conditioning complexes. The Nutri-Extreme mask for very dry hair contains linseed oil and peptides, according to the product description. The brand states an instrumental measurement taken after using the shampoo, mask and leave-in treatment from the range together – so you can't automatically apply that result to using the mask alone.
For hair sensitised by bleaching, blow-drying or heat styling, the Kératine Morphose routine can be complemented with a heat-protectant serum. The aim is to improve the feel, tame the fibre and limit its direct exposure to heat.
The amount matters just as much as the formula. Too much silicone, oil or conditioning agents can leave hair feeling flat, especially if the fibre is fine.
If you often use a hairdryer, straighteners or a hot brush, apply a product that claims heat protection before styling. The Hydra Brush serum is presented as a leave-in treatment to apply to damp or dry hair, using two to three pumps on the lengths and ends. In any case, read the label and adjust the temperature on your appliance to suit both the device and your hair type.

We've put together a comprehensive, real-time updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the requirements of European safety regulations.
Start with a gentle shampoo, then apply a Nutri-Extreme mask to the lengths and ends. If your hair is still difficult to detangle, add a leave-in treatment. Adjust the amount to the thickness and porosity of your hair.
Follow the instructions on the label. The masks shown here generally recommend a short leave-in time, often between 3 and 5 minutes. One to two applications per week may suit dry or damaged hair. On fine hair, it's best to start with a small amount.
Close bottles carefully, avoid letting water get into the pots, and store your products away from heat and sunlight. Check the ingredient list on the packaging, as it may change, and stop using if irritation occurs. For an electrical appliance, clean the air inlets regularly and store it unplugged once it has cooled down.
