Q & A

How often should I trim my hair to keep it healthy?

You should trim your hair once a year, or roughly every 8 months, by cutting half an inch to an inch, depending on how damaged your hair is. Regular trims help maintain hair health, but over-trimming is unnecessary if your hair isn't damaged.

Is it necessary to use shampoo on the length of my hair?

No, you only need to apply shampoo to your scalp. Your scalp produces oils, so the ends of your hair don't need additional shampoo. Focus on gently massaging the scalp and rinsing it out.

How should I apply conditioner to my hair?

Conditioner should only be applied to the lengths and ends of your hair, not to the scalp. After applying, let the conditioner sit for a minute or so, or rinse it out immediately if you're short on time.

What is the best way to dry my hair after a shower?

After getting out of the shower, gently press your hair with a towel instead of rubbing it. For long hair, squeeze sections of it gently with the towel. Avoid blow drying to minimize heat damage, and let your hair air dry instead.

Is it okay to brush my hair when it's wet?

It's generally not recommended to brush wet hair because it's more prone to breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb, and always start at the bottom, gently working your way up to avoid snags and breakage.

What type of brush should I use for my hair?

Avoid small-toothed combs and brushes with narrow gaps between the teeth, as they can cause tangling and breakage. A wide-tooth comb is ideal for detangling, and for brushing, a boar bristle brush is a good option.

How can I brush my hair effectively to avoid frizz?

When brushing, tilt your head downward to encourage blood flow to the scalp, which promotes healthy hair. You can also follow through with your hands to smooth out frizz or tangles, preventing excessive brushing.

What should I look for when choosing hair ties?

Use hair ties that don’t contain metal parts, as metal can snag and damage hair. Choose elastic bands that are stretchable and gentle on your hair.

How can I style my hair without causing damage?

Avoid heat tools like blow dryers, flat irons, or curling irons. If you need to put your hair up, use soft, metal-free hair ties and consider styles like braids or buns to minimize hair stress.

How can I keep my hair from becoming dry and brittle?

To prevent dryness and brittleness, use a leave-in conditioner. Apply it to the ends of your hair after showering to keep it moisturized, protect it from environmental factors, and reduce tangling.
