HEALTHY HAIR SERIES

 Fact #1

Healthy hair start from the very first shampoo!

If healthy hair is what you are wanting to achieve it's essential the hair shaft is clean and free from dust, oil or any type of build up. In other words, a clarifying shampoo is needed to completely remove the build-up from the hair shaft. A Cleansing shampoo will enable the hair shaft to absorb the nutrients properly with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that will supply and bring the hair back to its natural ph balance.

Most importantly though, the right products will make a huge difference with the health of your hair. Have you ever noticed when purchasing any products for your hair at the beauty supply, there is almost always a fine print on the bottle some where stating "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY"? If you never noticed the fine bold print, start paying attention please. Trust me, the statement could not be further from the truth. Let me say this, I am assuming you have a professional licensed hair stylist you trust and they have build a relationship with your hair. Always consult with her/him about what products before any purchase made concerning your hair and allow her/him to recommend what will work best for you to maintain your healthy hair at home.

Reinvent yourself and create the image you desire!
