THE IMPORTANCE OF PROFESSIONAL HAIR CARE

When it comes to hair anything goes in an effort to make us feel beautiful. Often this effort means the pursuit of professional hair care – that service that will keep our hair healthy and looking great.  Of course, such service comes at a price – some higher than others – but most find that it is more than worth the expense. 

Can you cut your hair at home?  Yes you can.  Can you color your hair with the use of a product you picked up at your local drugstore?  Absolutely, but what you think you are saving in avoiding a professional will result in you spending much more in reconstructive treatments or you might even suffer from hair damage.

Professional hair care typically requires a trip to a salon where your hair will be washed, conditioned, cut, and styled. Your stylist can assess the health of your hair and determine if you need a deep conditioning treatment and what cut will work best with your particular hair.  Developing a long term relationship with a stylist allows you to know what you’re getting when you walk in; it also allows the stylist to get to know your hair and subsequently learn what to look for in determining the health of your hair.  Trimming the hair allows the hair to grow and keeps it healthy. If you do not trim your hair, the ends become split and your hair becomes dry, broken, and brittle.

For those who color their hair, professional hair care is even more important.  If done incorrectly, color can damage your hair long term.  A professional hair colorist cab expertly treat your hair and help you in the decision making process in efforts to help you decide what color looks best on your hair and against your face.

In addition it is always best for clients to set up a consultation with their stylist and for the client to be truthful  when discussing previous treatments.  This will make it easier for the stylist to determine the healthiest solutions to help you achieve the healthy hair that you want.  Also it is imperative for you to follow the recommendations that your stylist suggest in efforts to prevent damage.
