Did you know that Heat is the leading cause of damage in our hair?
A lot of us style our hair using heated styling tools such as hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons to tame or achieve our desired look. What we sometimes don’t realize is every time we touch one of these tools to our hair we risk a permanent physical change to the alpha helix in our hairs natural keratin causing it to melt away over time. Ultimately, this reaction causes the hair to look and feel, damaged, dull, dry and brittle until it’s finally splitting at the ends and causing breakage.

How do you know when THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR A HAIRCUT?
TIME FOR A HAIRCUT?
You may wondering why your friendly neighborhood stylist is so adamant about getting you in for a regular haircut. Truth be told, it’s one of the easiest and best services that goes a long way on your journey — to perfect hair.
Enjoy this small list of key benefits to having that regular haircut appointment.
Longer
As your hair starts to grow out it will naturally be susceptible to damage, weather from styling or brushing, heat damage, or even environmental factors like sun exposure. The ends, or oldest pieces of the hair, will start to split or unravel much like the a piece of yarn or fabric. If left alone these splits will travel far up the hair strand and create breakage and stunt your hair growth right in its tracks.
Fuller
Remember the breakage we mentioned? As this starts to happen you may notice that the fullness of your hair starting to diminish through the ends, leaving them thinner and even scraggly. By having a regular trim you can prevent this and have full, beautiful, healthy hair from root to ends!
Frizz & Detangling
Ever notice your brush getting caught through the ends of your hair? That’s because the frayed cuticle, or outer layer of a hair strand, can start to create a sort of “Velcro affect”, getting hair strands stuck together and making it harder to run a brush through. Not to mention that the same frayed outer layer will cause a dull lifeless look, while a healthy strand will produce a silky shine!
Styling
Key in all the previous factors and you’ll realize that styling will be a breeze when you get regular cuts. From the countless time saved detangling in the morning to the effortless shine and fullness. Keeping your hair healthy will ultimately make anything you do to it look that much better!
How often should you schedule an appointment?
For hair that is thick or often left natural 8-10 weeks is great. For hair that is fine or styled often with with a blow dryer or hot irons, it is recommended to get a haircut every 6-8 weeks. For shorter styles like pixies or above the shoulder bobs, coming in every 2-6 weeks depending on the length and freshness of the style.
Weather it be a chop, a trim, or a dusting off the ends, considering them as a part of your regular routine will have you reaping the benefits of strong healthy hair.
