5 Steps To Perfect Hair

Do you feel like you just can't get your hair to look the way you want it? Are you frustrated when you're stuck with lackluster locks? Well, we're here to help. Whether your hair is long or short, we've got five tips that will work for any hair length or thickness!

1- Add some volume - Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner when washing your hair. Not only will this wash remove all of those unwanted oils, but it'll also add the much needed lift at the roots. When drying, pull sections of your wet hair up into a ponytail and spray on some texturizer for added definition.

2- Protect your hair - Protecting your hair before coloring or applying heat will give you the strongest color and longest lasting results. Depending on the type of treatment you're doing, most salon stylists recommend using a dry shampoo before you begin. These powders absorb excess oil before any damage occurs and don't leave a white residue behind like traditional powders do.

3 - Use heat protectant - It's impossible to be accurate when dealing with color, so it's important to protect your strands from any accidental hot tools or styling tools. Heat protectant sprays and creams not only keep your hair strong, but they also condition it as well! Carry this bottle from salon to salon so that no one gets short changed.

4 - Keep your hair moisturized - Any time you wash your hair, you must condition it afterwards. Your hair will absorb all oils and moisture from the shampoo, so you'll want to seal in those nutrients. Use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner that'll leave your strands shiny instead of greasy.

5- Color safe and protect - Even if you've just purchased a new hair color, you still need to take extra steps to protect your locks. You won't get the best results by coloring your hair every four weeks (or even more), so make sure that you're taking this into consideration before making any changes. If you're not a professional stylist, we recommend only using products designed for color-treated hair.
