Quick Tip

*The Straighter Your Hair

Apparently, the straighter your hair, the more shine it can have. And surprisingly enough, the shine is more evident when there is a layer of oil covering the shaft. Curly and wavy hair may not look as healthy as long straight hair, but it is not necessarily so. It doesn't reflect the shine as well because the curl breaks up the smoothness required for shine.

*Simple Washing Instructions

Massage the lather into your hair, don't rub. You can activate the sabaceous glands, causing more oil to be released. Rubbing can also cause the hair to catch on the other hairs, causing damage..

*We Aren't Done Yet

Blot your hair with the towel. Don't rub. The same problems as mentioned above can happen. Be very gentle with your hair. It is very vulnerable at this time.
