Preparing Your Hair: DO

• Use a conditioner after every wash to help keep hair moisturized and protected against damage.
• Use a spray, leave-in conditioner for extra protection when using heated hair appliances.
• Look for new technology in your drying and styling tools to help minimize damage.
• Avoid excessive teasing of hair, as it can uplift cuticles, making them fragile and susceptible to breakage.
• Use deep-conditioning treatments once a week, or as often as needed, to help minimize split ends and keep hair in top condition.

Preparing Your Hair: DON'T

• Use a brush on wet hair when you step out of the shower; once hair is washed and conditioned, use a comb with smooth, wide-set teeth to gently detangle hair, working from tip to root.
• Attempt to blow-dry soaking wet hair immediately; to expedite your blow-out process and help prevent thermal damage, towel-wrap your hair for 10-15 minutes and remove excess water before using a blow-dryer.
• Overbrush hair; despite the common myth that 100 strokes a day are good for hair, this can lead to breakage. Regular, gentle brushing promotes hair health and natural oil distribution.
• Wait more than eight weeks to get hair trimmed; regular salon visits are essential to keeping hair healthy and beautiful.
