Most people that come in for haircuts once or twice a year, come in with their ends thrashed and thirsty for nutrition and structure/shape. Whether your hair is natural and long, growing out longer, or frequently colored or highlighted, the most important thing is keeping your hair in great condition.
When your hair is manageable, it looks and feels softer, smoother and shinier!
Trim
Trimming the ends (even if only a little bit) will give them a solid edge that can continue to grow out healthy.
Otherwise, the hair gets scraggly and splits up the strand - in which case, you're never actually gaining any noticeable length!
Tailor
For clients in this situation, I usually prescribe a few simple maintenance products to nourish and repair their hair. After application, I see them return to the shop with healthier hair, ready for trims and new styles tailored to their face shape and hair type(now it's more obedient and feels so much better!). It becomes visibly healthier and is in better and better condition each time.
What's even cooler is that these products, shampoo's and conditioners are made with natural ingredients from plants, vegetables, nuts, and they also contain the appropriate vitamins that react beautifully with your hair's individual needs.
Davines
Here are 4 awesome Davines products that will bring your hair back to life and keep it in great condition:
Shampoo: NouNou Illuminating shampoo for colour treated and natural hair. It's made with chestnut milk and rice proteins.
