Why Having Clean & Conditioned Hair is Important

In the past we have been taught to have dirty hair because it styles better, and also not to condition our roots. I say the opposite works better. Clean hair listens better to our hot tools, as well shiny clean bouncy hair just looks obviously more beautiful. As clients we have not been given the proper education and products to achieve the same look as when we leave the salon. This is what I'm here for:


More product does not mean cleaner hair:
To have clean hair does not mean to use lots of product. When washing hair, you should repeat as many times as needed until your hair gets to a sudsy stage. This means wash rinse and repeat until clean. Each time you wash, you should be able to use less product as well. Also when you achieve this, your conditioner will be able to perform how it's supposed to. 


Condition roots to ends:
Yes this is true. Our scalp needs moisture just as much as our hair needs it. If you are not conditioning your scalp, it will over compensate and therefore you will have greasy oily scalp much faster than if you give it the moisture and proteins it needs. Leave your conditioner on for at least 3-5 min and comb through to deliver all the good stuff where it needs to go. The rest should be rinsed off properly. Do not over rinse or under rinse. It should not be squeaky clean(over rinsed) and it should not have any residue when you touch it(under rinsed). 

Blow drying should be easier:
When you are filling your hair with all the proper proteins and moisture it needs, then there is no more room for the water to hold onto. Therefore your water will be forced out of the cuticle instead of hanging on until it dissipates into the air. This also creates another chain reaction. With your hair healthy and moisturized, and the blowdryer needing less time on the cuticle, in turn you create less heat damage to the hair over the long term, getting us beautiful healthy shiny bouncy hair, that others are jealous of...

These are a few of my tips behind the chair and at the basin. To really see the way we work, book some time in with one of us at juice, and we can give you hands on demonstrations of what we believe in and prove to work!
