faqs about salon treatments

  • depends on what youโ€™re dealing with. if your strands are thirsty, fried, or constantly complaining, aim for a salon treatment every 4-6 weeks. if you're blessed with good hair genes and minimal chaos, each visit should do the trick. and, if youโ€™re still not quite sure on which way to go, we recommend asking your hairdresser for advice.

  • weekly is the sweet spot for most at-home treatments. think of it as a sunday self-care ritual โ€“ your hair will thank you for the extra love. but if you have serious damage or a sad scalp, you might need to step it up to twice a week.

  • give it a week or so before diving into your at-home stash. you donโ€™t want to overdo it and undo all that professional magic. when in doubt, follow your stylist's advice โ€“ they know their stuff.

  • 100%. sure, you could do it yourself, but salon treatments come with expert hands, professional products, and a bouncy blowout. plus, the results are instant.

  • results can last up to a couple of months, depending on the treatment and how well you treat your hair afterwards. pro tip: use recommended aftercare products to stretch those benefits as long as possible.

  • sure, but be smart about it. donโ€™t mix a protein treatment with a hydrating mask in the same session. alternate them throughout the week to give your hair everything it needs without overloading your strands.

  • depends on the treatment. if itโ€™s a hydrating mask, go for it โ€“ just chuck something over your hair to avoid a messy pillow. but protein treatments or toners? nope. too much of a good thing can leave your hair feeling worse, so always check the label.
