Five Sacred Hair Commandments After Leaving the Salon

There’s good hair.
And then there’s fresh-from-the-chair hair — that soft, polished, perfectly placed moment you wish could last forever.
Your stylist didn’t just dry it; they shaped it, sealed it, and protected it.
And yes, there are rules if you want to keep it that way.

1. Thou shalt not wear hats

Even a “loose” beanie or ball cap creates friction and flattening.
The result? Uneven texture and a style that looks like it skipped its coffee. If you must shade from the sun, choose a loose, wide-brim hat and remove it as soon as possible.

2. Thou Shalt Protect Thy Crown

Moisture softens your hair’s outer cuticle layer, which can lead to frizz, loss of shape, and dullness. Steam swells the hair shaft and disrupts any finish — smooth, wavy, or curly. That includes hot showers, boiling pots, dishwashers, ramen bowls, and saunas! Keep a humidity-resistant styling product on hand, we LOVE Color Wow Extra Strength. 

3. Thou Shalt Slay Daily 

Book that dinner, take that selfie, or just strut down the street like the main character. A fresh ‘do deserves an audience. Ps. Don't forget to reserve your next appointment so you never have to worry about not feeling 10/10 every day! 

4. Thou shalt Invest Wisely

You want the best lasting results for your color, extensions, or cut? You choose the best products. You wouldn’t buy a designer handbag and then store it in a garbage bag. Investing in professional-grade formulas today means fewer problems — and better hair — tomorrow. Please, love yourself (and your stylist’s work) enough to skip the 2-in-1. Your future self will thank you when you don't have to come back as frequently since your hair will LAST.

5. Thou Shalt Treat Thy Locks Kindly

Protect from breakage, frizz, and bed-head due to friction. Wear our luxurious silk scrunchies to bed, that thy hair may stay sleek and strong.

Bonus Wisdom: Hair Longevity 101

- Use dry shampoo before your hair looks oily — prevention keeps styles fresher longer.

- Brush gently with a soft-bristle or detangling brush to preserve your cuticle’s smoothness.

- Protect from UV just like you protect your skin — sun damage fades color and dries out strands.

Fresh hair is an investment in confidence and care.
Treat it kindly and it will stay soft, shiny, and salon-beautiful for days after your appointment.
