Thick, coarse, or curly hair does not need to be shampooed as often. Deep condition your hair once a week, if desired. This is an especially good idea for dyed or damaged hair. Usually, it looks good if you have a hair color and skin tone that belong to the same color family. By design, warm skin tones look best in warm colors, and cool tones look best in cool colors. For example, if you have a pale or light olive skin tone, any cool hair colors such as Ash brown, Lavender, or Platinum Blonde are suitable.
If you must blow-dry you hair, use the low setting. The higher the heat, the greater the damage.
No need for a trip to the salon – do it yourself! Stick to the style you have; just clean up the ends.
