Healthy Hair

If you have long hair, you like your hair—or why would you have suffered through the awkward stage?

You wouldn't have, which means you want to keep it long, which means you don't want breakage, which means you want healthy hair, which means you want to avoid hair damage.

Things that cause hair damage:
  • Harsh coloring, dye or bleach.
  • Extreme or excessive heat (e.g. blow dryers, curling irons and other hot tools; cooler settings over shorter periods are ok).
  • Brushing too much (every brush stroke pulls a few hairs out).
  • Brushing the wrong way (there is a wrong way, and it can derail your long hair dreams).
  • Brushing when it’s wet (your hair breaks a lot easier).
  • Washing it too much. Shampooing is good, but not too often.
  • Leaving stuff in your hair, like chlorine after the swimming pool. A quick rinse with fresh water will sort you out.
  • Tying it up too tight or for too long.
  • Using a rubber band for a hair tie.

And the #1 most damaging thing you can do? Cut it off.

Avoid hair damage to keep those locks healthy, flowing and growing.
