The Drybar Prep Rally Prime & Prep Detangler Coconut Colada Scent has changed my life! It makes brushing and styling my hair so much easier and it smells like a dream! Plus, the added volume and shine it delivers can’t be beat. It’s my go-to hair product and I can’t recommend it enough!

[natieP]

My favorite product right now is the color wow dream coat. It’s super humid where I live so this product helps my blowout last the whole day without frizzing up.

[Armentla]

#Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum

Tames and lots of shine!

[telephus]

I love using a lamellar rinse to get rid of product build up - it makes my hair clean but not stripped.

[faeriegirl]

Another tip is to consistently use a repairing treatment. My current favorite is K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 

[Guessgal]

@SephoraBIC Today’s tip is to never sleep with damp hair after a shower because it will result in going down with a cold the next day. Instead, wrap the Aquis Lisse Luxe Hair Towel Cloudy Berry around your hair to help your hair dry more quickly. Head to bed once hair is dry!

[GracieFirgau]

One of my tips for naturally curly hair is to make sure you’re using protein treatments, but not too often. This will make sure that your hair stays strong and doesn’t break. I really enjoy the adwoa beauty Blue Tansy Reparative Mask 16 oz/ 453 mg . It smells great, and it lasts a very long time! 

[CynthieLu]

Tip of the Day 🔥 if you heat style use a protectant. Damage from blow drying, flat ironing or curling wands is way less extreme if you protect your locks.  I use Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum 3 oz / 90 mL  or

Verb Ghost Jumbo Value Set with Ghost Oil™  well just the ghost oil but it won't let me add that 🤣

Use to add a layer of protection between styling tools and your hair

[Stephhall67]

The best thing for hair is to leave it as natural as possible. Reduce the use of heat and not to color it if possible.

[Basmae123]

I have really thick and curly hair. It can take up to an hour for me to wash it. So, to reduce the time I’m in the shower washing my hair, I love to use a oil treatment! Then, it only takes me about 30 minutes to wash my hair 

[notjustanyjenny]

Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil overnight once a week does wonders for my hair.

[EricaTbull]

I use a scalp massager nightly to bring circulation back to my scalp. It’s a great way to destress from my day! 

[emmersjo]

I let my hair dry most of the way naturally before styling with a round brush, less heat damage! 

[Easyice]

Use lukewarm water to wash your hair instead of hot water to avoid stripping your hair of it’s natural oils.

[Mel231]

IGK Mini Beach ClubVolume Texture Spray 1.7 oz/ 60 mL is a great multitasker. You can use it on wet or dry hair. You can use it to create waves or as a texture spray or as a dry shampoo, and it smells amazing!

[Lifewinks22]

I use a moisturizing hair mask once a week to keep my hair silky smooth and shiny.

[DianeEral]

I am an older woman and never had any problems with my hair.  Lately, I have noticed my hair is falling out when brushing or combing it.  When I take a shower and wash my hair there is hair in the clogged drain. Not just a few strands, enough to cover the drain. So, I have looked for shampoo and cream rinse that helps with thinning hair and hair breakage. I have found two shampoo products that have been working ogxbeauty.com  Anti-breakage keratin oil shampoo #OGX and #GarnierFructis Grow Strong shampoo and conditioner. I told my doctor about this problem and she stated some medications that I take do have an effect on the hair and skin. Hopes this helps someone.

[Mummypooh]

While showering, I began to wash my hair with #moroccanoilhydratingshampoo, I wash and rinse twice. Then I only condition my ends, and put in a shower cap for the remainder of shower. This avoids additional exposure to water that could dry and damage our hair! 
once I am done washing the rest of my body etc, I know take off the shower cap and rinse off my hair. It’s like a mini hair mask with regular shampoo while avoiding extra damage. 
tips from my hairdresser💜

[ccemm]

Every time I shampoo I use SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager. Not only does it feel great and gets my hair really clean, but it also keeps my scalp healthy and the stimulation helps my hair to grow quickly. This tip was a total game changer for me, helping my hair grow thick quickly. 

[CynthieLu]

@ccemm I want to try the SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager !

[Loretta55]

My entry from earlier in the week is on sale today as part of the hair deals Grace Eleyae Satin-Lined Knot Turban . Highly recommended! I will be adding a new hair tip later.
