You’re washing your hair wrong...

Updated: Aug 17

Have you ever noticed that when you have your hair styled at a salon, the end result is flawless, but when you try to style it at home, it doesn't look as polished?


Here are some exclusive tips known only to beauty experts. If you're eager to discover them, continue reading ⬇️


So, you're the kind of person who treats their hair like a delicate flower garden that needs daily watering and pruning to thrive. But hey, maybe it's time to give your locks a break before they start plotting their revenge.


The Hair Survival Guide for the Wash-and-Style Warriors:

  1. Embrace the messy bun - it's chic and low maintenance, just like you on a lazy Sunday.

  2. Consider dry shampoo your new best friend - it's like a magical powder that says, "I washed my hair yesterday, thank you very much."

  3. Give your hair a vacation from the heat tools - let it air dry and flaunt those natural waves like you're auditioning for a shampoo commercial.

Remember, a little less washing and styling won't hurt anyone - except maybe your hairdryer's feelings. So, go forth, embrace the hair rebellion, and let your locks live their best life!

Understanding the ingredients you use


Not all products are created equal. Many individuals may suffer from allergic reactions and inflammation due to the regular use of products that contain specific ingredients like gluten, parabens, sulfates, benzene, artificial fragrance, butane, and more. It is surprising to discover that many of our favorite products include one or more of these harmful substances in their formulas. If you suspect that these ingredients are causing your symptoms, it is advisable to consult an allergist or healthcare professional. For my top hair washing recommendations, click here. ➡️



Limit heat styling to 1-2 times a week


So, here's the deal: If you're blow-drying your hair more often than you change your socks, you might be walking a fine line between fabulous and fried. To avoid turning your head into a crispy critter, try to keep the heat styling to a minimum – think of it as a weekly treat for your hair, not an everyday spa appointment. And hey, when in doubt, just pop on a shower cap, sprinkle some dry shampoo magic, and voilà – you're good to go!

Follow the instructions


This may seem obvious, but it's always good to be reminded of fundamental routines. Remember, using heat-safe mousse is the only thing standing between you and a hair-raising experience! Ensure that the mousse or gel you are using for volume is heat-safe.
