Live from Zhane: To Trim or Not to Trim

Nov 1 09

Having been a hair designer for…yes many years, I want to give you a few of my thoughts on healthy hair.
Let’s start in the right direction from the beginning. Ok, so to trim or not to trim…that is always the question.
Yes, TRIM, TRIM, TRIM! Even if you are growing your hair long, you should still always maintain healthy ends. Let me tell you why. Everything we do to our hair, combing, brushing, styling, and even the environment, all have an effect on our hair. If we do not trim the ends and they become broken or damaged they can split and travel back up each strand. This leads to even more damage and tangles. Then, at this point your hair will continue to split and not get any longer. In fact, over time your hair will actually become shorter as it breaks. If you are afraid of losing length, here is my tip: ask your hair designer to just “dust your ends.” This is what I do for my guests, and then we are both happy. I know because of my maintenance, your hair is healthy and growing and in return you can make your way to long beautiful healthy hair. 

Now, let me give the scoop on the product that I am currently in LOVE with for growing your hair long.

Aquage Sea Extend strengthening shampoo and strengthening conditioner. They are filled with all the technical stuff that most of us don’t really care about, however they are amazing. Let me explain in simple terms…they are sulfate free and have sunscreen protection so they start immediately by not allowing any more damage to happen.

The shampoo gently cleanses with an intensive blend of sea silk proteins, and healing sea botanicals. This improves hair strength up to 36% and helps prevent future breakage. The conditioner then follows the same path but also protects against and thermal styling with exclusive Thermal-V complex. Tip: shampoo gently, rinse and follow with strengthening conditioner. However, with the conditioner, apply and then finish your other shower habits so the conditioner can stay on for 5 minutes. This will allow the product to penetrate properly and give your hair ultimate shine leaving it tangle free.

Enjoy these treats and happy growing till your next trim……….just a dusting!
