Professional Tips for Healthy Hair
I have been fortunate enough to find a wonderful and talented hairstylist that is not only very, very good at what she does, she is also a 3rd generation hair-care professional.
Monica’s grandfather was a barber and her father still cuts hair in the small town we live in. Monica knows a lot about hair!
Monica not only colors, cuts, and styles my hair, she is also continuously teaching me about how to care for my hair. Information I have never received from another hairstylist.
Four Tips
Following are some of Monica’s professional tips for healthy hair
1. Use shampoo to wash your hair roots, not all of your hair. This will help keep your hair full and prevent the hair shaft from becoming too dry from over-cleansing. Apply shampoo to hair roots, lather, and rinse. The residual shampoo is enough to cleanse the remaining hair upon rinsing.
2. Only use cool water to wash and rinse your hair. Avoid hot water. Cooler water temperatures will preserve the color (if you color your hair), and prevent your hair from becoming dry and brittle. Cool water also closes up the hair shaft making it more manageable and smooth.
3. Save money and buy quality salon-grade products. You might save money initially on store-bought products but long term you are spending a whole lot more because you are using more quantity to make up for the quality – example about conditioner below.
4. Condition only the ends of your hair to prevent build-up. Shampoo is for the roots, conditioner is for the hair shaft. If you find you are using a lot of conditioner on your hair and going through bottles of it, the conditioner you are using is not penetrating or repairing the hair, it is just coating the outside. Buy a better quality conditioner and apply it only to the hair shaft. You will use less conditioner and it will work as it should work.
Conclusion
I hope you benefit from Monica’s professional tips for healthy hair!
Wash only your hair’s roots, rinse hair with cool water, buy quality salon-grade products, and condition only the ends of your hair.
