It’s important to understand all the factors that go into a fabulous hair day. Because not only is our hair regularly impacted by our internal environment, like hormonal fluctuations which can lead to thinning hair1, we also have to worry about external stressors. Everyday factors like pollution, linked to hair loss and build-up, or the regular use of heat tools which strip our hair of hydration, are common culprits of frizz, fly-aways, and split ends. Luckily, we can address these hair concerns with a simple and restorative hair care routine! Bonus tip: How often you should wash your hair totally depends on your hair type, but be wary of washing your hair everyday. Ironically, overwashing can lead to an oily scalp, while causing your hair cuticles to become dry and brittle.
Shampoo & Conditioner Bars Bonus tip: If you’re regularly dealing with scalp build-up or oily hair, there are a few simple tips you can practice. When you condition, work the conditioner into your ends while avoiding your roots. Make sure you regularly clean your hair tools, which can distribute build-up throughout your hair—and try not to touch your hair as often!
The Cleansing Scalp Scrub Bonus tip: To protect thinning hair, choose styles that are gentle on the roots of your hair. Watch out for tight ponytails or buns that could tug on your roots, and get yourself a silk pillowcase to take it easy on your strands while you sleep!
GRO Hair Serum Bonus tip: While heat tools are often the culprit behind damaged hair, sometimes they’re necessary to achieve the look we want. When using straighteners, curling irons, and the like, use the “one and done” rule. Only use your tool one time per section of hair to reduce damage to the cuticle.
Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask Bonus tip: To show your hair and scalp a little extra love, embrace a natural style at least once per week. Use your hair oil to keep things hydrated, but allow your hair to air dry and skip the heat tools to give your scalp a chance to breathe.
