FAQ
How often should I really wash my hair? It depends on your hair type and lifestyle. Oily or fine hair often does well with every other day, while curly or thick hair may thrive with once or twice a week. Listen to your scalp—if it feels itchy or looks oily, it’s time.
Can damaged hair be fully repaired? You can improve the appearance and strength of existing hair with better care, but severely damaged sections may need trimming. Prevention is the most effective long-term strategy.
What’s the best way to protect hair from heat damage? Use a quality heat protectant every time, keep tools below 350°F when possible, and give your hair regular breaks from styling.
