PRO HAIR CARE TIPS (SO YOUR STYLE LASTS PAST THE PARKING LOT)
You don’t need a 14-step routine. You need the right 4.
1) Shampoo strategy
oily scalp: cleanse scalp, not ends
dry ends: conditioner mid-lengths to ends, always
2) Heat protection = non-negotiable
blowout, curling iron, flat iron: protect first
goal: less breakage, better shine
3) Gloss/toner refresh
keeps blondes clean
keeps brunettes shiny
keeps reds looking intentional
4) Trim cadence
short cuts: more frequent shaping
long hair: dusting still matters
