In my line of work I need conditioners that meets the needs of a wide varity of clients. Really coarse dry or wiry hair needs special attention. Smooth Down by Redken is excellent, a little goes a long way in taming those tresses. It contains macadamia oil, candelilla wax, and cationic refiners and aides in replenishing oils. It provides long lasting smoothness and resists humidity. Next time your hair is Wilding out, Tame it with Smooth Down by Redken.

Also by Redken I love the All Soft line it is perfect for dry brittle hair. Infused with Avacado oil and the wonderful illuminationg silk-luxe complex. Hair is eveloped in softness and the body is incredible.

Mizani has a wonderful new relaxer system called Butter Blend. It contains cocoa butter, honey and shea butter for maximum conditioning and protection. There are 6 steps in the process: base, protect, relax, condition, neutralize, and condition again. Believe me you will love how your hair feels. Say goodbye to harsh relaxers and the dried out hair that goes with them. Say hello to Butter Blend, you won't regret it.

Should I wrap my hair at night?

Absolutely! It is absolutely imperative to implement this practice to keep breakage and tearing to a minimum. Hair is very fragile and constant tossing and turning on your pillow can cause damage.

Much like the issue that babies have when rubbing their little heads back and forth on their sheets or car seat. Baldness can occur. Have you ever noticed a woman with a neat silky ponytail only to see frayed edges around the hairline? Sleeping without a scarf is most likely the culprite.

I would suggest that you use a silk or satin scarf/cap instead of cotton. A cotton scarf/cap tends to be too harsh and will rob hair of vital moisture and natural oils produced naturally by your own follicle.

Also if you have a convertable or ride a motorcycle I would suggest concealing your hair in a scarf or cap as the wind is an enemy to healthy ends.

Regular trims are necessary!

Remember ladies, trims are paramount to healthy attractive hair!

There is nothing worse than seeing a woman with shiny, silky, lovely locks. Only to look at the entire hair shaft and see rough tangled split ends!

There is nothing attractive about dead ends, and there is nothing, no product, no miracle cure that will heal them. All one can do is remove the threat by having the ends trimmed away.

I recommend doing so every 6 to 8 weeks. The average amount of hair growth per month is a half of an inch. So in 6 or 8 weeks you should have approximately 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch of new growth every trim cycle. If you regularly trim your ends you will need to only clip close to 1/4 of an inch thus giving you approximately 3/4 to and 1/2 inch of new hair!

Doesn't sound like much? Well over a period of time it will add up. Better to do it in bi-monthly intervals rather than all at one time. This can make you feel cheated and change your look drastically.

Split ends make it impossible for hair to hold a curl. It is also impossible to look neat and well groomed with your hair sticking out like a whisk broom.

Find a stylist that has your best interest at heart, someone that listens to you. Someone that you can have complete confidence in and put your hair and trust in his/her hands.

Happy trimmings and here's to your hair!
