Expert Hair Care Tips and Maintenance Advice
Stop guessing what works for your hair. We are cutting through the noise with pro-tips on maintenance, myth-busting, and the right way to care for your mane.
Our experts answer your most common hair questions. Learn about the best way to care for colored hair, why hair turns grey, and how often you should really be shampooing.
Tip of the day: Don't wash your hair with hot water. It strips natural oils and makes hair dry. Always use lukewarm water to keep your hair healthy and shiny.
Myth busted: Cutting your hair does not make it grow faster. Hair growth happens at the scalp, but regular trims are essential to prevent breakage and split ends for healthier-looking hair.
Myth busted: Plucking one grey hair will not cause more to grow. However, it can damage the follicle and lead to thinner hair in that spot, so it's best to leave it alone or get it professionally colored.
Wondering what you can and can't do after a keratin treatment? Our stylist breaks down the rules for post-treatment care to ensure your results last.
About Expert Hair Care Advice
Stop shampooing every single day. Washing daily strips away natural oils, leaving your hair dry and prone to breakage. Aim for twice a week, and always reach for lukewarm water instead of hot to lock in that shine.
Myth-Busting Your Routine
Many believe cutting hair makes it grow faster. In reality, growth happens at the scalp. Regular trims just keep your ends clean and prevent breakage. Also, plucking a grey hair will not trigger more to grow, though it can damage the follicle and cause thinning in that specific spot.
Temperature and Frequency
Hot water is the enemy of healthy hair. It strips natural oils, resulting in dull, brittle strands. Use lukewarm water for your wash cycle. Regarding frequency, skip the daily shampoo habit. Aim for twice a week to maintain your natural moisture barrier.
Post-Treatment Care
If you have recently had a keratin or smoothing treatment, the next few days are critical. Avoid tying, clipping, or tucking your hair behind your ears for 72 hours. Do not wash your hair within this window and stick to sulfate-free shampoos to keep that finish salon-fresh.
