- How to use them properly<\/strong> \u2013 Always shampoo your hair twice! The first wash removes product buildup, oils, and impurities, while the second allows the shampoo to work effectively. After rinsing, squeeze out excess water before applying your conditioner or mask. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes to ensure the moisture penetrates the hair for the best results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A leave-in treatment\/conditioner<\/strong> \u2013 Once you\u2019ve washed and towel-dried your hair, applying a leave-in conditioner helps to detangle, add moisture, and protect against heat. We stock Sensus<\/em> leave-in conditioners from the Repair<\/strong> and Discipline<\/strong> ranges, all of which contain heat protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA heat protector for dry hair<\/strong> \u2013 If you use straighteners, curling wands, or blow dryers regularly, you absolutely need a heat protectant! Overuse of heat tools can cause split ends, fade colour, make blondes brassy, and lead to breakage. Always use a low heat setting<\/strong> and apply a heat shield before styling. If you love curling your hair, try heatless curls instead to give your strands a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Often Should You Get a Haircut?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Regular trims are essential, especially if you want to grow your hair. The ends naturally become dry and start to split, and if you don\u2019t trim them, the splits travel further up the hair shaft, making your hair look scraggly. Here\u2019s what we recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping up with trims means healthier, fuller-looking hair in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
