WASHING

1. Wash hair in sections

2. Rinse all the way to the scalp and between the beads to remove any buildup

3. Apply conditioners to the midshaft of hair and down and leave in for 2-3 minutes before rinsing completely

DRYING

SWIMMING

3. Once finished rinse hair with fresh water and apply leave in conditioner

SLEEPING

1. Brush hair before bed

2. Pull into loose ponytail or braid with silk scrunchie

3. DO NOT go to sleep with wet hair – this can cause tangling close to the scalp (if this happens call your Stylist to remove hair immediately)

COLORING

5 TIPS TO HEALTHIER HAIR

1. Minimize heat use

2. Wash your hair LESS

3. Minimize bleaching if your hair is already damaged – bleaching will make it worse

4. Trim your hair – this does not make your hair grow faster but it does get rid of split ends that travel up the hair shaft and break off much higher up than if you were to cut them in the first place

5. Get regular deep conditions – they help restore moisture – brittle hair is more prone to breakage
