HAIR CARE MINI-TIPS (SO YOUR STYLE LASTS)
Keep it simple. These are the “don’t skip” items.
For curls that fall flat
lighter conditioner at roots
mousse/foam at scalp
diffuse 3–5 min, then air-dry
For shine that disappears
ask for a glaze
use heat protectant every time
clarify 1x/week if you use lots of styling products
For frizz that shows up in New Hampshire weather
smooth on damp hair, not dry
finish with a light oil on ends only
avoid brushing after set (use fingers)
