Healthy Locks
You and your hair work well together. Whether you've been maintaining the same style for some time or enjoy updating your hair with seasonal on trend cuts, you're on target with your cutting schedule. Your colour plan is fine and you know exactly what to do to protect your lovely locks!
You're Done!
Tress Abuse
You never feel satisfied with a cut. Rather than running back to the salon or finding a new one, reassure yourself that hair needs a week or two to settle into a new shape. Clearly, you love products, but too much alcohol in hair spray, bodifyers and root lifters can be drying. Use half the amount or choose alcohol-free options. When layering products or creating concoctions, make sure one of them has a conditioning element. At the end of the day, try to be kinder to your hair... All the products and tools are really not necessary all the time!
You're Done!
Hair Neglect
Stressing over you hair is the last thing on your mind! Perhaps you avoid blow-dryers because of the time and skill required. If that's the case, let your BFF or big sis show you easy techniques and time-saving tips ─ even if you're just going to try it once for a big event. Toss your brush if bristles or protective rubber are missing. It's time to take some pride in your crowning glory!
