Have you ever heard someone say, “I wish I knew then, what I know now.” Knowledge is truly everything and should not be taken for granted, especially when it comes to taking care of yourself. Keep hair healthy and gorgeous with these 3 tips!

1. Sulfate Free Shampoo- Not only are sulfate free shampoos more gentle on your tresses but they can possibly even clean your hair and scalp better. Some shampoos that cause tons of lather often contain a large amount of moisturizing products that can leave nasty build-up on your hair, the very opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. Gross!

2. Cool It Down- Once the shampoo and conditioning steps have been taken always, always, always rinse your hair with cold water. Cool water will seal the cuticle which add sleeker finish to your locks.

3. 10 Minute Rule- Before you blow dry, curl, roll, twist, braid or straighten your hair, you should aim to apply any protection or styling products 10 minutes before you begin your hair process. Doing so will give the products time to penetrate and absorb into strands so that you can derive the most benefits from said products.
