When hair is wet it is the most fragile and vulnerable to breakage. Wet hair, should be treated with care almost like a 100 year old piece of lace, this is because your hair becomes much more stretchable and when tugged, it may cause healthy hair to turn into hair that is damaged and full of spilt ends—and who really wants to touch breakable hair? No one.

Color treated hair, should always be maintained and frequent in conditioning. Using a color treated repair shampoo and conditioner will not only maintain the color but also protects the color from the sun’s harmful rays with UVA protectant—Yes ladies, go the extra cents to take your hair to the next level. This also means staying away from the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner.

Getting out the shower… Females… Never “ put towel over your head and start rubbing against the hair” instead dab/pat or gently scrunch (for beach tousled hair) with your towel. A cotton pillowcase or towel may come in handy as it takes away static, which causes hair to frizz up. Putting some leave in conditioner can also soften and detangle the hair (but remember not on the roots!). Also, leave your hair to air-dry before going straight to the blow-dryer, doing your make up first will give you less heat time and more air time.

 Next time while in the shower think of these simple tips and it can take a huge difference in your hair’s strength, texture, color and volume. Happy scrubbing everyone!

After analyzing my hair, a Milbon expert determined it was texturally medium and a little dry at the ends. The Willowluxe three step system was recommended to me, and I’ve used the products over the course of a week. Here is what I thought.

Step 1, Shampoo: Not only does this shampoo smell amazing, but it makes your hair feel unbelievably clean. It works when amino acids in the formula fill the damage holes in your hair strands. After using, my hair was softer, shinier and less frizzy.

Step 2, Treatment: This everyday conditioner is the richest I’ve ever used, housed in the most gorgeous packaging. It works when lipidure attaches to amino receptors to deliver moisture inside your hair. When you blow dry, the lipidure changes its form to coat hair. After drying my hair, it felt and looked softer than it did when I used other conditioners.

Step 3, Nutrient: Even richer and more moisturizing than the everyday conditioner, this ultra-luxe treatment is to be used once a week in place of normal conditioner. It works in the same way as the treatment but overtime. This feels and smells amazing. After leaving it in my hair for three minutes, by hair literally felt like silk.

In addition to the three-step Willowluxe treatment, I was given an Aprou leave-in treatment. Perfect for delivering the moisture my hair most desperately needs, I used Water Gel on my towel-dried hair along with curl mousse before blow drying. Unlike a lot of other creams, this is not sticky and super easy to spread on your hair. After using, my hair looked smoother and less frizzy. It’s great for use on dry hair too if you need a quick touch-up.

Sienna Miller recently admitted a new form of hygiene that she practices. The actress has told reporters that she washes her face with shampoo. Really? I guess it’s all just to clean, but my gut says Sienna should head to a CVS and pick up a face wash and leave the shampoo to her hair. NYC dermatologist Heidi Waldorf agrees, saying washing your face with shampoo strips the skin of important nutrients.
