Beautiful hair is a universal desire, but achieving and maintaining healthy locks can sometimes feel like a mystery. As professional stylists, we’ve seen it all when it comes to hair care routines. Today, we’re sharing our top tips to help you keep your hair looking its best between salon visits.
Wash Wisely
Overwashing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. Most people only need to shampoo 2-3 times per week. Use lukewarm water and concentrate the shampoo on your scalp. Avoid sulfate-based shampoos, which can be harsh and drying. Instead, opt for gentler, sulfate-free formulas.
Condition Correctly
Always follow shampooing with conditioner, but only apply it to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the roots. This will help hydrate and detangle your hair without weighing it down. For extra moisture, use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask once a week.
Be Gentle When Wet
Hair is most vulnerable when it’s wet. Avoid harsh rubbing with a towel, which can cause breakage and frizz. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and pat your hair dry. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle, starting at the ends and gradually working up to the roots.
Protect from Heat
Heat styling tools like flat irons and curling wands can make your hair look great, but over time, heat damage can lead to dryness, breakage, and split ends. Always use a heat protectant product before styling, and keep your tools on the lowest heat setting that still works for your hair. Embrace your natural texture when possible to give your hair a break from heat.
Nourish from Within
What you eat can impact your hair health. Make sure you’re getting enough nutrients, especially protein, biotin, vitamin C, and iron. Foods like eggs, nuts, berries, spinach, and fatty fish all support strong, healthy hair. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is also key.

Get Regular Trims
Split ends can travel up the hair shaft and cause more damage, so it’s important to get regular trims every 6-8 weeks. Even if you’re growing your hair out, small trims will keep your hair looking healthy.
Use the Right Products
Using products designed for your specific hair type and concerns can make a big difference. Whether your hair is fine, thick, curly, color-treated, or prone to frizz, using formulas tailored to your needs will help keep your hair healthy and manageable.
