What Is Your Hair Telling You?


Is your hair trying to tell you something? Hair needs a perfect balance of nutrients to be healthy and behave. Your hair can give you clues as to which nutrients you should focus on. 

We can add nutrients to our hair by eating healthy, drinking lots of water and taking vitamins. But sometimes our hair seems to be lacking something. Another way to add nutrients is through hair products like shampoos, conditioners,and treatments. 

Here are some tell tale symptoms and quick fixes:

My hair dries really fast and I fight static. 
Your hair is dry! A moisturizing shampoo and condition would help. Also, use a weekly deep moisturizing treatment until you notice improvement. 

Product Picks: 
- Usual: SuperRich Shampoo + Daily Intensive Moisture Treatment
- Weekly: DeepQuench Moisture Masque 
- Styling: Extreme Shine Treatment Oil or WickedGood Shine Spray  

My hair takes forever to dry and it's dull. 
Your hair needs protein! When your hair lacks protein, it can take longer than usual to dry. It's best to use a restorative shampoo and conditioner and a leave-in treatment when styling. 

Product Picks:
- Usual: Alternate ClearItUp Detox Shampoo + Baobab Shampoo Follow With Baobab Condition 
- Weekly: CrazySmooth Treatment Masque 
- Styling: Plush Locks Leave-In Smooth or Baobab Leave-In Treatment 

My hair is flat and life-less. 
Your hair needs a boost! A weekly clarifying treatment along with using a volumizing system will be your best bet. Hair can flatten from product build up, mineral build up from your water, or environmental build up from things like cigarette smoke and exhaust. 

Product Picks: 
- Usual: SuperPlump Shampoo + Condition 
- Weekly: ClearItUp Detox Shampoo
- Styling: LiftIt Foam Mousse 

Frizz. 
This is the most complained about hair woe. Frizzy hair needs oil to weigh it down, but you also don't want oily hair. The trick it to find the perfect balance of oil weight. A product with anti-humidity ingredients is where it's at. It's best to not suds up every day. Your natural oils are the best for fighting frizz.  

Product Picks:
- Usual: CrazySmooth Shampoo + Conditioner
- Weekly: CrazySmooth Treatment Masque 
- Styling: RadicallySmooth + HumidityRx 

Oily scalp.
Ah yes, over-achieving oil glands. Your cure is a balancing or light clarifying shampoo followed my a light conditioner. 

Product Picks:
- Usual: ClearItUp Detox Shampoo + SuperPlump Condition or PureRelease Detangle Spray
- Styling: DrySpell Dry Shampoo (Even after you freshly shampooed! The dry shampoo will soak up any oils throughout the day. Also use it before you go to bed to prevent the dreaded grease spot on your pillow.)
