Right hair, right now: top stylists on the products they use themselves – and ones to avoid

[BreezyBison]

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.

Ugh I'm so guilty of ignoring my hair's needs like I never get trims, my hair is all dry and frizzy but I just can't afford to go to the salon every 6-8 weeks . I've started using coconut oil as a mask and it's actually working pretty well . And omg silver shampoo is life changing for me, my grey hair looks so much healthier now . I wish more people would listen to their stylists and invest in good-quality products, it makes such a big difference in the long run .

I'm so done with trying to change my natural texture it's all just too much work for me i mean who needs straight hair right? anyway back to these common themes they mention regular trims and embracing your natural texture are literally the most important things you can do for your hair. don't even get me started on how much cheaper it is to use good quality products over cheap stuff read more about hair care tips here: [https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty-advice/g3089/best-hair-care-tips]

Umm... I think regular trims are super important... no wait, maybe not every 6-8 weeks is necessary... some people's hair can be fine with just occasional trims? I mean, if you've got a lot of split ends and breakage like I do, then yeah, get in there every 4-6 weeks. But if you're rocking that full-on healthy 'do, why bother? On the other hand, investing in good-quality products is a total no-brainer... unless you live on a budget and can't afford fancy hair stuff, in which case... I don't know, just use what you've got, right? Silver shampoo for grey hair is def a game-changer, but have you tried using it with coconut oil as a pre-shampoo treatment? Game. Changer. And please, for the love of all things good, don't over-wash your hair... unless you've got oily roots, in which case, go wild!

omg u guys did u know that the average person loses around 50-100 hairs per day naturally? it's like, our body is just shedding old cells and making way for new ones anyway back to hair care... i'm totally on board with embracing ur natural texture and ditching those harsh chemicals lol. i've been using aveda's plant venom shampoo and conditioner and omg my curls have never looked healthier also, i've started using coconut oil as a mask once a week and it's like, completely transformed my hair anyone else try these tips?

Umm... I think regular trims are super important but like, not every 6-8 weeks? That can be harsh on the hair . What if you have really fast-growing hair or something? You might not need a trim that often . And on the other hand, too much trimming can lead to split ends and damage... so maybe it's all about finding that perfect balance .

I'm not surprised they're recommending regular trims... it's just a fact that our hair grows out, and if we don't cut it off, it'll just get tangled and ugly. And don't even get me started on those "natural texture" trends - most people are too stubborn to accept how their hair looks. I mean, who wants to look like they stuck their finger in a socket? Invest in good-quality products, yeah right... it's just gonna break the bank. And silver shampoo for grey hair? Please, that's just a way for companies to sell more stuff. Mark my words, the minute you stop buying all that fancy shampoos and conditioners, your hair will be back to normal... but probably not in the best way.

My sister's hair has been lookin' so healthy and shiny since she started doin' that. And omg, silver shampoo for grey hair is like a miracle worker ! Invest in good-quality products too, it makes all the difference. Don't over-wash your hair, or you'll be left with dry ends . Scalp health is key, fam! #HairCareTips #NaturalTexture #ScalpHealth

omg u guys i just got my hair trimmed last wk and it feels like a whole new me ! regular trims r literally lifesavers btw i was thinkin of tryin out silver shampoo for my grey locks but now i'm even more convinced

I'm so down with these hair care tips ! Regular trims are a must, I know someone who goes like 2 months without getting one and their hair just gets all frizzy . Embracing your natural texture is also super important, it's so easy to get caught up in trying to change it with products or treatments but honestly, you're just gonna end up looking like yourself anyway .

And omg, silver shampoo is a total game-changer for grey hair ! I know someone who switched from regular shampoo to this and their hair looked so much healthier. And don't even get me started on the importance of scalp health . It's like, your scalp is literally the foundation of your hair, you gotta keep it healthy for it to thrive.

I'm also a huge fan of hair masks and deep conditioning treatments . They're like a spa day for your hair! And can we talk about heat styling for a second? It's so easy to get caught up in using those tools all the time, but trust me, it's not worth the damage you do to your hair . Invest in good products and take care of your scalp and you'll be rocking healthy locks in no time !

I'm so glad these hairstylists are spilling the tea on how to really take care of your locks! Regular trims (every 6-8 weeks) is a total game-changer for maintaining healthy, shiny hair - I was always told that getting regular trims would prevent split ends, but it's not just about that, it's also about keeping your hair from getting too long and prone to breakage.

And oh my gosh, embracing your natural texture is SO underrated! It's easy to get caught up in trying to change our hair with styling products or treatments, but at the end of the day, it's just more stress for your poor hair. Plus, it's always more flattering when you're rocking that effortless, undone look.

Investing in good-quality products is also a total must - I was surprised by how much of a difference it makes to use shampoos and conditioners that are specifically formulated for your hair type. And don't even get me started on the importance of scalp health! Keeping your scalp clean and moisturized can make all the difference in promoting healthy hair growth.

One thing I would add is to be super careful when it comes to heat styling - those tools can really damage your hair if you're not using them correctly. And for goodness' sake, don't over-wash! Our hair has natural oils that keep it healthy and moisturized, so there's no need to strip it of all those good things just because you washed it yesterday.

Overall, I'm totally on board with these tips - they're the perfect guide for anyone looking to take their hair care routine to the next level!

I swear I had the craziest experience with my hair last year ! So I was trying out this new silver shampoo and it literally transformed my grey locks into something beautiful . But what really surprised me was how much of a difference it made in terms of maintaining moisture levels. My hair used to get so dry and brittle, but with the right products now , it's like a whole new me!

I've been taking care of my hair so much more now and I can already see the difference . From getting regular trims every 6-8 weeks to investing in good-quality shampoos and conditioners that suit my hair type, I feel like I'm doing everything right . The one thing that still bugs me is when people over-wash their hair - ugh, don't they know how damaging it can be?

I've also been meaning to try out some of the other tips mentioned in these interviews... getting a DNA test for hair loss sounds like a total game-changer . And hey, if I can help others avoid making the same mistakes I did with my own hair, then that's all good .
