Based on the interviews with 8 hairstylists/salon owners, here are some common themes and tips for hair care:
1. **Regular trims**: Most stylists agree that regular trims (every 6-8 weeks) are essential to maintain healthy hair.
2. **Embracing natural texture**: Many stylists recommend embracing your natural texture rather than trying to change it with styling products or treatments.
3. **Invest in good-quality products**: Stylists stress the importance of investing in good-quality products that suit your hair type, rather than buying cheap alternatives.
4. **Silver shampoo for grey hair**: Silver shampoo is a game-changer for maintaining healthy-looking grey hair.
5. **Hair masks and deep conditioning**: Regular hair masks and deep conditioning treatments can help to nourish and moisturize dry or damaged hair.
6. **Protect your hair from heat styling**: Stylists recommend using heat protectants when using heat styling tools, and limiting use of these tools to reduce damage.
7. **Don't over-wash**: Over-washing can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. Stylists recommend washing hair only when necessary.
8. **Scalp health is key**: Scalp health is essential for healthy-looking hair. Stylists recommend keeping the scalp clean and moisturized to promote healthy hair growth.
Some specific product recommendations include:
* Aveda Nutriplenish deep moisture conditioner
* Coconut oil as a natural hair mask or styling product
* Good-quality shampoos and conditioners that suit your hair type
Avoiding certain products and treatments, such as:
* Box dye, which can be difficult to come back from
* Cutting your own hair, which can lead to disastrous results
Some additional tips for hair loss, including:
* Getting a DNA test to determine underlying causes of hair loss
* Seeking professional advice from a specialist or trichologist
* Investing in good-quality supplements that promote healthy hair growth.
