Overwashing Your Hair

It’s not your imagination.

The more you wash your hair, the quicker it may seem to need another wash.

Instead, plan yourhair washing schedulefor your workout days, social calendar, etc.

Newsflash: not all products are universal winners.

There likely isn’t one that will work on every hair pop in, texture, and thickness.

Dirty Linens

You’re about to embark on some good hair days.

Second, it’s time to read up on the proper care.

You likely won’t be able to throw it in the machine with the rest of your linens.

This residue makes your strands greasier as the clock beats toward wake-up time.

Wash your pillowcase weekly, and you’ll be in the clear.
