In our rush for fashion and style, sometimes we forget the basics. Here's a little refresher so your hair always maintains an A+!

• Let it Go! Washing your hair daily strips it of its natural oils, aka PROTECTION. Best practice? Shampoo two to three times a week to keep your hair build up free without compromising its health.

• Long-Distance Relationship. Keep some distance between your hair dryer and your scalp. Six to eight inches is enough for your dryer to be effective without being harmful. Again, maintaining a healthy balance of natural oils is key to hair health.
  ​
• Use Protection! Unlike blow drying, there are some style tools that have to make contact to make difference. Invest in a proven hair protectant to stave off breakage. Village Parlor recommends R+Co's High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème, which serves duel purpose to protect while blow drying as well.

• Lighten Up! Sometimes our hair needs to take a load off as much as our minds do. Hair has a tendency to hold onto everything so find a clarifying shampoo that removes chlorine, mineral build up and dulling styling products so you can shine on! R+Co's Oblivion Clarifying Shampoo is safe for all hair types that could use a breath of fresh air.
  
  
• Work Hard, Play Harder. Are you having more fun as a blonde, or do you find it to be more work? Instead of playing catch up, keep it up with a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your special 'do! *Fun Fact: Shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for blonde hair like R+Co's Sunset Blvd Blonde Shampoo and R+Co's Sunset Blvd Blonde Conditioner help keep white and silver hair radiant, too. 

• Dial it Back. When your hair is losing its luster and no amount of smoothing serum is holding back the fly-aways, its time to get back to the real basics. It's time for a trim. Contrary to popular belief, trims don't really aid in hair growth - not really - but they do keep it looking healthy by nipping spit ends before they make a break for it.
