Hair Texture and Behavior
The texture of your hair is a key factor in choosing a suitable style - some cuts just won't work properly with straight, fine hair, for instance, while others won't do for thick, curly hair. Consider, too, your hair's natural tendencies: how it falls, how it grows, where it parts. Though styling tools and products can help you get the look you're after, think about how much time and effort it will take to attempt to defy what Mother Nature intended.
Look at your hair in the mirror. Analyze the undertones of your natural hair colour and the condition of the hair. Now ask yourself exactly what it will take for you to become a flaxen blonde, fiery redhead, or toffee-toned brunette within the next hour. Answer?

In addition, some hair is more porous and will quickly soak up whatever product you put on it. This type of hair reacts well to products, but also absorbs humidity in the air. If your hair gets frizzy o muggy days and flat on very dry ones, it's probably porous. Coarse hair is often porous, as is any hair that has been permed, straightened, or permanently coloured. If you're not sure what hair type you have, just ask your stylist.
For strong and healthy - not just healthy looking - hair, protein is essential. If your hair feels dry or brittle, this tip is for you.
Protein Treatments
The easiest way to add protein is with a professional salon protein treatment. Your Salon Stylist can help you decide which treatment is best for you. After Salon care, there are leave in treatments that can help resolve the problem in-between appointments.
If your hair is really damaged, add protein up to three times a week for a couple of weeks. '
Then, decrease the frequency to once a week, then once every two weeks. It's possible to add to much protein to your hair and your hair will become coarse and snap, so be sure to wean yourself off these protein-rich products once your hair is feeling healthier.

Maintaining your cut
To properly keep up a good haircut, most stylist recommend a trim every four to six weeks. The reason is simple: on average, hair grows half an inch per month. By cutting at least a quarter of an inch, you eliminate the frizz and split ends that play havoc with good hair health and maintain your clean, stylish look.
