Q. How often should I get my haircut?

A. This question could have various answers. As a rule, hair can grow 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch per-month, so the shorter your style is, the more noticeable the extra hair growth will be and the quicker your style will lose its shape. I advise my clients with shorter styles to cut their hair between four to six weeks. Clients with hair styles past their shoulders should maintain their style every six to eight weeks. Anything more than ten weeks and hair will begin to dry out at the ends, and split & break. Always care for your hair with shampoos & conditioners specific to your hair type.


Q. Why are the ends of my hair so much darker than my root area when I buy the same box of color every time?

A. It sounds to me that you are applying your hair color from the roots throughout to the ends, even if you are only running it through for ten minutes. The color has ammonia in it and is building up throughout the previously colored area. Permanent hair color should be applied to the new growth only. A non-ammonia color glaze should then be applied to the previously colored areas. This will add shine and refresh your entire color without damage or build-up.
