Do you know that most people misuse conditioner? It's often not necessary to use an entire palmful immediately following shampoo in the shower. Everyone is unique, why shouldn't the way you care for yourself be?
Dry, Knotty, Wavy or Curly Long Hair
Curly hair is gorgeous, but unfortunately it doesn't allow natural oils to slide down the shaft as easily as straight hair. That just means in order to get your locks nourished and healthy, it may be necessary to take extra care of the ends of your hair.
If your hair tangles easily, your best option may be to use a leave-in. Using it within minutes of getting out of the shower while hair is still wet, can give your hair the extra moisture it needs to stay smooth through the day.
You can be generous with the conditioner on the ends of your hair, working your way up, but stay away from the scalp and roots. Then wrap in a very loose bun for a few minutes to allow the nutrients penetrate your long hair.
Straight, Knot-free Long Hair
If you don't have a problem with knots, following shampoo with a light moisturizer in the shower is perfectly fine. However, depending on how often you wash your hair, you may want to stay away from the roots in order to keep your style from looking too shiny. Follow the same technique

How U Do Shampoo

How U Do Shampoo

Shampoo Frequency
Washing every day isn’t always necessary, it can even be quite harsh on your long hair. The stress of washing and blowing out your locks can weaken them, increase your chances of having split ends, and severely dry out your long hair.
Allowing the natural oils to penetrate further than the root and shaft can be healing and strengthening for your hair. I have worked with models and actors who follow this advice. The only reason not to skip a day of washing is if you’ve worked up a sweat at the gym or went out last night to a bar.
I even know of a Salon Manager who washes her hair every couple of months, and no one knows the difference! Most people most likely assume she has a unique style and think nothing of it. Now that's a little extreme, but you get what I'm saying..
If you’re still kind of freaked out by the idea of not washing your hair everyday, that's okay, too. Simply make su
The selection of hair care products these days is dizzying. I have personally spent thousands of dollars experimenting with different products and tools, not to mention hours questioning stylists and clients for opinions on products.
The truth is that certain salon brands aren’t that much better than store brands. But for the most part, you aren’t going to find quality unless you know what to look for. Sodium Laureth Sulfate is the most gentle cleansing ingredient of the three main ones used in mainstream shampoo
