How to Keep Your Hair Healthy Between Salon Visits
Everyone loves that fresh-from-the-salon feeling — smooth, shiny, healthy hair that’s full of life. But how do you keep your hair looking its best between appointments? With the right care, it’s easier than you think! Here are our top tips for keeping your hair healthy and beautiful between salon visits.
1. Stick to a Professional Hair Care Routine
Using salon-quality shampoos, conditioners, and treatments makes a world of difference. Professional products are specially formulated to nourish and protect your hair without the harsh ingredients often found in drugstore brands.
Tip: Look for sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners tailored to your hair type — whether that’s color-treated, curly, fine, or thick.
2. Minimize Heat Styling
Flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers can be hard on your hair if overused. Whenever possible, air-dry your hair or use heat-free styling methods.
Tip: When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant spray to minimize damage and keep your strands strong.
3. Protect Your Hair While You Sleep
Believe it or not, your nighttime routine matters. Tossing and turning on rough pillowcases can lead to breakage and frizz.
Tip: Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase and consider loosely braiding your hair at night to prevent tangles and split ends.
4. Nourish From the Inside Out
Healthy hair starts with a healthy body. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports hair growth and strength.
Tip: Make sure you’re getting enough biotin, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron in your diet. Stay hydrated — your hair needs moisture from the inside too!
5. Schedule Regular Trims
It might sound counterintuitive if you’re trying to grow your hair, but regular trims are essential. Getting rid of split ends keeps your hair looking fresh and prevents further breakage.
Tip: Aim for a trim every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your hair goals and needs.
6. Deep Condition Weekly
Adding a deep conditioning treatment to your weekly routine gives your hair an extra boost of hydration and strength.
Tip: Look for masks or treatments packed with ingredients like keratin, coconut oil, and argan oil. Apply it once a week to keep your locks soft and resilient.
7. Be Gentle With Wet Hair
Wet hair is more fragile and prone to damage. Handling it carefully can make a big difference in your hair’s long-term health.
Tip: Use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush when detangling wet hair, and blot (don’t rub!) with a microfiber towel to remove excess moisture.
8. Protect Your Hair From the Elements
Spring sunshine and summer breezes are wonderful — but UV rays, wind, and pollution can all take a toll on your hair.
Tip: Wear a hat on extra sunny days, and use leave-in conditioners with UV protection to shield your hair from environmental stressors.
