Back to Basics for Healthy Hair

Your hair is an accessory you wear every day. When your hair is well cared for and maintained, it is your best asset. Reinvigorate your style with healthy, beautiful hair. Just as each person is individual, your hair care routine must be customized. Consult the expert hair stylists at Deweese Design Salon, Inc. for recommendations specific to your hair. Your hair is an extension of you and your style. Let your hair shine by following these basic hair care tips.

How often should I wash my hair?

Washing hair depends on the amount of oil produced by your scalp. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) explains that factors like age, activity, and color treatments can influence oil production (2017). If your scalp is oily, you may wash your hair daily. If your hair is drier, you may shampoo less. Shampoo and conditioning products make a huge difference. The hair stylists at Deweese Design Salon can recommend high-quality products specially formulated for your hair type.

How often should I cut my hair?

The frequency of haircuts depends on the style, texture, and length of hair. Maintaining shorter haircuts requires more frequent trims to keep the shape of the cut. Longer hair is more forgiving but needs regular cuts to remove damaged ends. Depending on the texture, plan for a trim every 10-12 weeks for longer hair (Bennet, 2017). Setting a routine appointment at Deweese Design Salon can help you keep your commitment to healthy hair with regular cuts.  Check out our website for a complete list of services and prices to meet your hair care needs.

How does the environment affect my hair?

The sun and chlorine from swimming pools can damage your hair. The AAD recommends using swim caps and thoroughly conditioning your hair after swimming to restore moisture (2017).

Your hair reflects your overall health. In addition to regular maintenance and consulting experts for hair care customization, an overall healthy diet is essential. Eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, protein, and water sets the foundation for healthy hair.
