Most people have more than one hair concern. Your scalp may become oily while the ends feel dry, or your hair may be naturally curly but lose definition in humid weather. The trick is to identify which part of the routine needs attention.
Dry hair: focus on conditioning
Hair that feels rough or straw-like may need gentler handling and additional conditioning. Avoid rubbing shampoo aggressively through the lengths. After washing, use a conditioner and consider an occasional Almond + Shea Butter Hair Mask according to the label.
Frizz: reduce friction and improve styling
Frizz can appear when hair is dry, textured, damaged or exposed to humidity. Try blotting wet hair with a soft towel, detangling gently and applying a modest amount of Nourishing Leave-In Conditioner. For a smoother finish, a little Argan Serum may help.
Breakage: look at the habits
Short broken strands are different from full-length shed hairs. Breakage may be worsened by frequent high heat, tight hairstyles, rough brushing and chemical processing. Reduce those sources of damage and use conditioner after washing. If you regularly straighten or blow-dry, apply Hair Shield as directed before heat styling.
Flat hair: avoid product overload
Very fine hair can be weighed down by rich formulas applied too close to the roots. Concentrate conditioner on the ends, rinse thoroughly and use lighter styling amounts. Choose styling products according to the finish you want, rather than assuming a heavy product creates more volume.
Curls without definition: style while damp
Use a little Curl Romance Curl Lotion on clean, damp hair. Scrunch the lengths and allow the curl pattern to form. If you need more softness, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner first.
Colour-treated or chemically treated hair
Follow your stylist's aftercare directions and choose conditioning products that suit the treatment. Limit unnecessary heat and repeated processing. Products may help improve feel and appearance, but cannot undo all structural damage.
Excessive shedding needs a different approach
Sudden shedding, distinct bald patches, a sore scalp or progressive thinning may have causes that a cosmetic product cannot address. A dermatologist can help distinguish shedding from breakage and evaluate possible medical causes.
A simple rule: address the cause you can identify, change one habit at a time and give the routine a fair trial. Explore the LOCKS ’N LURE collection for targeted care options.
