Danielle asks:
I wanted to ask for some advice. I have thick highlighted hair which is just below shoulder in length. It is not dry or damaged but can get greasy on scalp. Is dark blonde with light blonde highlights through. I can not for the life of
me find any shampoo or conditioner that work. I just wandered if there was any that could be recommended?

Hi Danielle
The answer to your problem may not be just the shampoo that you are using, but could also be the way you shampoo your hair.Try not to use your fingertips when shampooing , use the palm of your hands as though you are massaging the scalp. Scrubbing with your fingertips can stimulate sebaceous gland which will cause more sebum(oil) . Give this a go and maybe use Kerestase Bain Clarifant Shampoo for oily scalps. I hope this works for you …
Stephanie asks:
I have been transitioning out of relaxed hair for a little over a year. I want to make sure that my hair is as healthy as possible so it can grow long. I would like to know if it would be better for my hair to straighten it once every two weeks (and forgo washing and styling in between) or to get box braids every 5 weeks and washing as needed. I would want the braids to be on the smaller side to be easier to style and I would get an extra foot of synthetic hair added.
I put my hair in protective styles like a french braid or pull it up with a scrunchie, so I there is not much damage in between washes when it is straight. But I imagine there are trade-offs. The heat from straightening can’t be good for
hair. On the other hand, the tension of the braids on the scalp and slower distribution of sebum down the hair shaft is likely not healthy either. Short of wearing my hair naturally curly, which would be better for my hair?
Thank you!

Hey Stephanie
Yes you are quite right there are trade offs in both. Straightening your hair once every 2 weeks is great as long as when you shampoo you also use an intense treatment when shampooing, along with a product to protect the hair from the heat of the straighteners. Maybe try Redken’s Pillow Proof Express Primer Cream. This will help save time on the blowdrying and also give you a heat protection of up to 450 degrees. You could also use its sister product Pillow Proof blow dry 2 day extender: this is a dry shampoo which will refresh your look and absorb any unwanted oils. Your other option is braiding. The tension can affect your hair although if your hair is strong it shouldn’t matter so much. With both you need to make sure you get your hair trimmed on a regular basis. I cannot say which is better however, I would be tempted to look after it with treatments and loose braids. Healthy long hair will be yours soon as you have thought about all areas best of luck.
Aman asks:
Over the last 7 months my hair has thinned dramatically and seems to break off very
easily, especially when I take a shower. I haven’t used any harsh products and have always used a blunt plastic comb rather than a brush. I wash my hair once a week and my scalp feels a bit dry and itchy. My hair is now medium length and I would like to grow it long. How can I make my hair strong?
