HAIR CARE TIPS + FACTS
EXPERT ADVICE FROM A LICENSED STYLIST
EXPERIENCING DRY HAIR?
If you want your hair to grow strong and healthy, increase your daily intake of water. This is the best way to keep your hair hydrated, and you get the bonus of having beautiful skin as well! The oxygen levels in the blood are maintained by the water, so proper scalp circulation is increased. Water also keeps your hair follicles and scalp hydrated, thus preventing gray hair and split-ends.
Wrap your hair in a silk scarf before you go to bed. If you don’t, while you're asleep, the pillow will absorb the moisture from your hair and come morning it will appear dry, leading you to apply more products to your hair.
SHEDDING VS. BREAKING?
Shedding is a natural part of the hair growth cycle. Your hair is supposed to shed. And it sheds daily.
Excessive shedding can be a tell-tale sign of internal stressors to the body. High levels of stress, diet changes, sickness, medications, surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal fluctuations, just to name a few, can all contribute to excessive shedding.
To prevent breakage, trim your hair every 3 months, learn how to handle your hair gently, detangle prior to shampooing (especially after braids or a protective style), and moisturize to ends of your hair.
