Avoiding bad hair days--my list of DON'TS!!

I thought I would share a few "don'ts" that I constantly tell my clients. I can't stress these enough, so listen up. Here is what not to do if you want healthy hair: 

*Don't skip trims, especially for my long, highlighted blondes. Find a hair stylist you trust, someone who we listen your needs.

*Don't use box color or try to do your color at home. This will cost more to fix than a normal service would. Unless you want to go black! If money is an issue, speak with your stylist to see what your options are.

*Don't try to get with your ex's best friend. Thought I would slip that in there, but really, it's not a good idea. I've tried it.

*Don't get color or hightlights two levels lighter than your natural color if you can't afford touchups at least every 6-8 weeks.

*Don't allow a stylist to work on your hair without a consultation before getting shampooed. 

*If you are concerned about money, don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask how much everything is going to cost before starting!

*Don't skip on conditioning treatment. Whether you do it at home or in a salon, you need to make sure your hair is in great condition.

*Don't use irons or curlers every day. Believe me, it's not worth it long-term.

*The number one don't?  Don't go to the salon, spend over $100 on color, then go home and use a $9 shampoo. Non-professional shampoos wash your color out! Listen to your hairstylist. Professional shampoo helps to prolong your color and ensures healthier hair.

Stay tuned for my list of DO'S!
