Go Short & Freshen Up Your Look
If you are up for it, the first hair change you can try is to chop it all off, especially if your strands look and feel dry, or if there is evidence of split ends and breakage. Cutting your strands to a healthier length will freshen up your look and your ends. It’s also an opportunity to start over and take better care of your ends and scalp. That way, if you choose to grow out your strands, you’ll have a fresh start. Although, you may love your shorter ‘do and prefer to keep your new healthier length.
If you’re chopping hair that hasn’t been dyed, consider donating your locks to an organization that creates wigs for those in need. It’s the perfect way to literally lift some weight off your shoulders, while giving someone else happy hair days.

Take Good Care
From the city you live in and your workout routine to how often you wash and detangle your hair, down to the pillow where you lay your head to rest, there are many factors that can lead to damage. Too much heat, over-dyeing and -processing can cause long term damage to our strands and scalp that can result in dry hair, split ends, and other major issues. Minimizing the amount of stress our locks go through daily will ensure your hair and scalp are healthy and strong. A great way to start is by using the right products and ingredients to protect when heat styling, coloring, and constant exposure to geo aggressors. Making sure you are eating a well balanced diet with enough protein and nutrients also helps promote healthier strands.
