Before you do anything tragic...

It's about that time again when surely you're sick and tired of your hair. You feel you may need a cut, change of color, your want bangs, get bangs, regret the bangs...you lost all maintenance and patience so you throw on a hat or keep your hair tied up in a knot.

Wait! Before you do anything tragic that you will regret, there's a few things you should know: KNOW YOUR HAIR: is it dry, oily, coarse, damaged? Once you've narrowed that down, move to your shampoo and conditioner and look at the ingredients. Some of those chemicals in your products could actually harm your hair growth and texture rather than making it smooth, silky, volumized and conditioned as some may claim.

TIP: DO ANY OF THE INGREDIENTS END IN -ANOL. IF THEY DO, CHANCES ARE THE INGREDIENTS HAVE ALCOHOL AND THAT WILL DRY OUT YOUR HAIR. PUT DOWN A SHAMPOO WITH SULFATE, FRAGRANCE, SURFACTANT.

Just like our bodies and skin need water to stay hydrated, so does our hair. Don't shy away from conditioner, look for ingredients that contain water and oils, and polyquarternium.

TIP: ANY INGREDIENTS CONTAINING -AQUA -HYDRA -BUTTER IN YOUR CONDITIONER WILL HELP MOISTURIZE YOUR AND NOURISH YOUR HAIR.

I recently changed my entire shampoo & conditioner set and styling product routine. WELLA products are infused with 70% water in all their products, it is a professional line that enriches the appearance of healthier hair. These work for me. The Shampoo & Conditioner are gentle on my colored hair, I use a treatment once or twice a week depending on how much heat I've used on my hair to keep my ends smooth and healthy looking, I use a heat protective before I apply any heat to my hair, and finish my hair style with perfecting and smoothing products:
