Tip 2: Switch to Clean Haircare
'Clean' beauty products have been ALL the rave recently. We've heard about it, you've heard about it, but are they really worth the hype? Dry damaged hair starts with what you are washing with. Switching to a clean haircare brand free of sulfates, parabens & fragrance is the first step to a healthier scalp and hair. If you are noticing your hair looking all blah, think about what you are washing with. You'd be surprised how many shampoos out there create brittle and dull hair strands over time. Nourished and healthy hair is the goal.

Tip 3: Swap for Silk
That hair elastic on your wrist right now... Yeah, that one. Well, it might be adding to your breakage. Swapping your old ones for silk hair ties can help reduce that breakage. Yes, silk. Sounds luxurious right. Whether you're going to the gym or doing your nighttime skincare routine, protect your hair! There's even a hack you can add in while sleeping.. Switch to a silk pillowcase!! Silk helps hair retain more moisture and reduces friction that causes tangles, breakage, and frizz. Listen to us on this one. Amazon has a lot of great options, or you can treat yourself to this kit.
Tip 4: Invest in a Hair Oil
The best part about adding a hair oil into your routine is that no matter what type of hair you have, you will benefit. Curly, textured, oily, thin, dry, it doesn't matter. You need one. Hair oils not only add shine & softness, but protect the hair cuticle. We are all about protecting and preventing further damage here. Lather it on at night for a hair mask oil duo. Extra the moisture! And don't forget to oil up your Classic Set once in a while to maintain shine and softness.
