The Schedule Every Woman With Good Hair Follows

No matter what texture you have, there are a few hair golden rules that everyone should follow. So we tapped hair stylist from the Salon  .
advice about how to best take care of your 'do.

WHEN TO WASH AND CONDITION:

Fine hair: Every other day to every two days works best. This way it won't get too greasy, but you're still allowing your natural oils to coat and nourish the hair.

Medium to course hair: Anywhere from every third day to once a week. Thicker hair takes longer to absorb natural oils, and appears less greasy over time than finer hair. I typically recommend doing a deep conditioning masque once a week for 15 minutes or longer.

Chemically damaged hair: I would recommend washing your hair based on its texture, but leaving conditioner in over night. Tie up your hair and wear a shower cap while sleeping  this way you'll protect your pillow and your natural body heat will warm the conditioning treatment, allowing it to penetrate the cuticle layer and give your hair a really deep conditioning.It has lots of essential oils which are super nourishing without weighing your hair down.

How much product should you use?

Two quarter size helpings of shampoo will give you a good lather, and the same for conditioner. Work the product from your ends to your roots and let sit for a few minutes. Most people don't rinse their conditioner out properly, which can compromise the blowout. Add an extra minute or so to your rinse just to be sure you've washed out everything.

WHEN TO CUT:

Short or shoulder length hair: To maintain that precise length, you need to get a cut every 4 to 6 weeks.

Hair that falls past the shoulders: Every 8 weeks:

Insider tip: I've noticed a resurgence of women with long hair who avoid haircuts for fear of loss of length. But not getting a regular trim actually does more harm than good because the longer time between haircuts, the more split ends you'll accumulate. And split ends then begin to travel further up your hair folicle, causing more dryness and damage. To avoid damaging long hair, get a cut once a season or every 8 weeks. That way you can keep the length but the split ends never get that bad.

 WHEN TO COLOR:

If you have a single process:
Every 4 weeks.

If you have highlights: 
Every 6 to 8 weeks.

Insider tip: 
I love a little roots with highlights. I feel it adds some contrast to the hair while also protecting it from over processing. And if you're using hot tools (flat iron or curling iron), make sure to use a heat protectant serum or spray before you style your hair.
