Do's and Don'ts for hair!

Could you be making some mistakes that are actually making your hair frizzy and contributing to breakage? Yes, you probably are... I am guilty of some of the below mistakes and I have been  trying to make changes.  I am finally seeing some changes and I wanted to pass along some tips and tricks to you.

Let start with the Do Nots!

• Do Not put your hair in a ponytail or bun overnight. The hairbands pull and break the hair and creates tension on the scalp.
• Do Not Shampoo your ends or condition your roots. The dirt is at the scalp and 1 inch into the hair shaft. Scrub the scalp and the first inch of the hair through the mid shaft letting the shampoo run down to the ends. Your roots will be weighed down if you condition them causing a lack of volume in the hair.
•  For dry hair use a gentle shampoo, I prefer sulfate free,  and treat your problem with conditioner ~ use a moisture rich conditioner and a masque once a week, if you have oily hair use a shampoo and conditioner for oily hair. 
• Do Not do the towel like a turban after your shower. You hair is very fragile when it is wet. The towel is pulled tight and tugs at the fragile areas of the hair especially the crown of the hair. It can cause more breakage and you guessed it.... FRIZZ! Instead use a microfiber towel or even a t-shirt to squeeze the water out of the ends of the hair, and don't RUB!

DO's

• Brush your conditioner or masque through your hair while in the shower.
• Rinse the hair with a cold water wash before getting out ~ this closes the hair shaft and makes the hair smooth and shiny.
• Use a heat protectant before heat styling
• After you are  done round brushing your hair with the HOT setting, use the cold setting on the dryer to lock in the curl with the round brush ~ a little trick ;) It will set the curl.
• Don't forget to use a clarifying shampoo once per week!
