A couple of weeks ago we told you all to mix your hair products before applying, not only will it give you some extra benefits, it gets rid of the massive amounts of product that can cause some grease in your hair.

Though people still say to mix the products, I do have to warn you that there are some precautionary things to take note of. For one, never, I repeat, never, mix relaxers, perms, permanent hair colors, semi-permanent hair colors, or bleach. Never! And another side note, you can mix shampoo and conditioner, but your better off not doing it. When the two form a mixture a salt forms that prevents the conditioner from working.

Tip: Mix everything and observe for a couple of minutes before you apply. If the mixture looks weird then I wouldn’t try it.

Sometimes to get the hairdo that’s right on the money you need a ton of products to get there. We’re talking gel, mousse, anti-friz cream, and iron guards. It may be just a bit too much product for our locks to handle, and before you know it, your freshly cleaned hair is already looking greasy and overdone. So what do you do?

To my surprise I’ve never heard this tip before, which is odd because it seems awfully simple, and well, pretty obvious. Instead of applying a layer of each of your products, pre-mix all 0f your products and then apply!

When we gave you our ten “Summer Beauty Must Haves“, you may have noticed a few products by Belegenza. But the hair company’s SpotLite Shine and RoMANce Deep Conditioning treatments aren’t the only thing to rave about. When the company first launched, they were on a mission. Any natural products that had already been released were a trade-off; you were giving up luscious locks to go green, something everyone wanted to avoid. So they tackled the dilemma. Bringing everyone high-quality beauty products that didn’t kill your hair or the trees. All of Belegenza’s products are 100% natural and give you that super-silky head of hair that you’ve always dreamed about.

Look for more on Belegenza coming soon, including an interview with the founder.
