Quick Tip

*How Much Is Too Much?

Do you know how much shampoo your hair needs to properly remove product buildup? It is different for everyone and using too much can actually accelerate the buildup. How often you shampoo also varies from person to person as well. If you don't need to shampoo more than once a week, that's okay.

*Cool Water is Best

Never wash your hair in hot water. It is very drying to your hair. So before getting into the shower, keep this in mind. And for your final rinse, use the coolest you can stand. It will seal the cuticle which will help with the frizz issue and add to the shine.

*Shiny Hair

Your hair needs Vitamin E for shine and you can get this much needed vitamin by incorporating brown rice, nuts, wheat germ and leafy green vegetables into your diet.
