Is Conditioner Really Necessary

Posted by: Heather  :  Category: Hair Care

Perhaps not necessary for everyone, but conditioner will help your hair by eliminating static electricity, strengthen it when styling, and keep it healthy and shiny.  If you color your hair, or spend a lot of time in harsh environments (sun, wind, chlorine, etc.) you will want to condition your hair regularly.

Does Coloring Ruin Your Hair?

Posted by: Heather  :  Category: Colour, Hair Care

Not necessarily.  When your hair is colored properly by a trained stylist or colorist, your hair can give the appearance of greater health and shine than it did before you entered the salon.  Coloring your hair can also give you an emotional and psychological boost that will help with your self-esteem and with how you are perceived in the workplace.

Many home coloring kits can do untold damage to your hair, especially when used incorrectly, too frequently, or when trying to change the color of your hair by more than two shades.

A skilled colorist can do a lot to rectify these mistakes, but even they have limits if you have over-dyed your hair with an at home kit.   When considering a color change, always seek the advise of a trained colorist.  They will help you to match color to your skin tone, making your color choice look very natural and no one the wiser that you are coloring your hair, unless of course, you are looking for a vibrant change1

Does Cutting Your Hair Make It Grow Faster / Longer

Posted by: Heather  :  Category: Hair Care, Tips

While this myth has been around for a very long time the answer is NO.  Cutting your hair does not make it grow faster or longer.

However, what it does do is it cuts off the dry, damaged and split ends that make your hair appear thin and lifeless.  Freshly cut hair will give the appearance of thick, healthy hair.  For some people, this is the only way to get their hair to grow longer because their hair may be especially prone to splitting and breakage.

If you routinely wear hair clips or pull your hair back into pony tails you are damaging your hair, and the only way to eliminate this damage is to cut off the damaged portions and to try and treat your hair as gently as possible in the future.
