Hair Do’s, Hair Don’t’s
Trim your hair when you start to see split ends.
There are a few different ways to trim your hair, but we recommend going to a professional stylist. They’ll have the best tools and techniques for keeping your hair healthy, vibrant and strong. If you’re interested in learning more about trims from home, we recommend checking out our blog post on how to safely trim split ends at home before heading over to our salon page!
One mistake that many people make when it comes to haircare is getting them trimmed too often. To avoid this common pitfall, we recommend getting your hair trimmed every six or eight weeks as opposed to every two or three months—that way you can be sure not only that it looks great but also that it will stay healthy! If left un-trimmed for too long (more than six weeks), split ends can become unmanageable and lead to more breakage of those strands themselves which means even MORE work down the line when they start breaking off on their own accord!
Avoid over-processing your hair.
If you dye your hair, it’s important to avoid over-processing your strands. To do this, use the lowest volume developer possible and avoid washing your hair directly after dying it. Also try not to perming, straightening or curling too often—try to let your hair air dry whenever possible! If you must use heat on your locks (and who doesn’t?), make sure that you’re using a heat protectant product first.
Take hair vitamins.
If you’re looking to maintain your hair’s health, start taking vitamins. Hair is made up of proteins and needs the right nutrients in order for it to grow healthy. The following vitamins are great for maintaining good hair health:
- Biotin – Helps with hair growth and thickness
- Vitamin C – Helps with collagen production, which makes your strands more elastic so they don’t break as easily
- Vitamin D – Helps with cell growth and healing of wounds.
Clarify your hair.
To avoid product buildup and dry out your hair, clarify your hair once every two weeks. Clarifying shampoo is best for removing product buildup from the scalp and hair shaft.
Clarify with a sulfate-free formula that won’t strip your color or leave behind residue. After rinsing off the clarifying shampoo, follow up with a hydrating conditioner to maintain moisture levels in your tresses and prevent breakage.
Massage your scalp with oil every couple of days to keep it healthy.
Massage your scalp with oil every couple of days to keep it healthy. It helps to stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which in turn helps the hair follicles to grow. Massaging also improves circulation, reducing hair loss due to stress and nourishing and conditioning the scalp.
Coconut Oil is nourishing for the scalp and can help fight against dandruff, so massaging will improve blood circulation as well as decrease itchiness, flaking and inflammation.
Coconut oil is a great natural product for your hair. It’s inexpensive, easy to apply and nourishing for the scalp. Massaging your scalp will help improve blood circulation which can help fight dandruff, itching, flaking and inflammation. It also helps with hair growth!
If you don’t have any coconut oil at home (I keep mine in the bathroom) then you can easily make it on your own!
Lightly comb and brush your hair so you don’t irritate the scalp.
Once you have shampooed and conditioned your hair, lightly comb and brush it. If you have any tangles or knots in your hair, try to gently work them out before starting the styling process. While brushing is not essential to washing your hair, it can help remove some of the buildup that occurs during the day on your scalp, which will make styling easier.
If you wash your hair at night before bedtime, brush or comb all tangles out while still slightly damp so they don’t become more tangled as you sleep and cause breakage when brushed again in the morning.
Be patient with your hair! It may take weeks or months before you start seeing results.
In this blog, I will be talking about the pros and cons of different types of treatments, such as hair color maintenance and dyeing.
When it comes to hair coloring, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each person’s hair type is unique in its own way. Some people can see results after a few days while others may take months before they begin to notice any change in their appearance. The time frame depends on the type of product that you use for coloring your hair: whether it is an at-home kit or salon treatment done by professionals.
Adjust your shower water temperature to warm if it’s too hot or cold because hot water can strip away natural oils from the scalp and skin, which can leave to itchiness and dryness. Cold water is good for sealing the cuticles on the strands of hair, but too much cold water can also take away moisture from the skin and cause extra dryness in the scalp and breakage in the hair.

Think about avoiding chlorinated swimming pools because chlorine can dull the color of your hair – not worth it!
Before you go swimming in a chlorinated pool, think about what it will do to your hair. Chlorine can cause discoloration and dryness of the hair and scalp. It also causes breakage in the hair and can cause itchiness on the scalp as well as dryness. Consider switching to an alternative form of exercise that is less damaging to your precious locks!
Your scalp is just as important when it comes to keeping a beautiful head of hair
Your scalp is just as important when it comes to keeping a beautiful head of hair. The scalp is the first thing that gets damaged by stress, and the hair follicles are what’s affected by this. If you have a damaged scalp, the hair follicles can’t grow properly and the result is weak, brittle and unhealthy looking hair.
To prevent damage to your scalp (and thus your overall head of hair) there are several things you should do:
- Use conditioner after shampooing – this helps keep your skin hydrated and moisturized so it looks supple, healthy and full of life!
- Don’t use too much heat styling tools on your locks – these include curling irons or flat irons (such as those at salons), blow dryers etc… Heat styling can cause breakage at best or permanent damage at worst so stay away from them if possible (or only use them sparingly)!
