FAQs
-
How often should I wash my hair?
It all depends on your hair type! With oily hair, you should wash it at least 2-3 times a week for a fresh scalp. For dry hair type, it is perfectly fine to go longer, even once or twice a week. Overwashing strips natural oils, so find a balance that works for you.
-
Is heat styling really that damaging?
Yes, heat damages hair gradually, with a good heat protectant before blowdrying or straightening there will be minimal damage. Use a low-heat setting for further protection!
-
How often would you say I should be deep conditioning my hair?
For most types of hair, once a week is quite ideal for deep conditioning so long as the strands are hydrated and strong. If your hair is more dry or damaged, bump it up to two to three times a week for some extra nourishment.
