Shampoo & Conditioners
Choosing the right shampoo & conditioner is vital.
Shampoo
The wrong shampoo can lead to you damaging your hair. Alcohol and sulfate free shampoos are the best to use on your hair. When shampooing only shampoo the roots of your hair. Try doing this to your hair every 2 weeks.
Condition
Condition,condition,condition! This is the most important thing to do for your hair. It helps keep your hair soft, shiny and moisturized. Deep conditioning your hair once a week is always needed and conditioning your hair regularly in between is even better. As for choosing the right conditioner the same rule apply's as the shampoo, use conditioners that are alcohol and sulfate free.
Styling/Care Products
The biggest problem most people have with styling their hair is the heat. Another important thing to do is to pay attention to the temperature recommended to use on your hair. In this case it would be 375℉ or lower for non processed hair, for processed hair (coloured hair) the highest temperature to use is 350℉ . When styling your hair, the best products to use are ones with water base. You should try your best not to use products that contain parabean, alcohol, sulfate and phosphate. Most products with these chemicals tends to damage the hair rather than helping.
