03 Jul 3 Reasons You Should Be Going To The Salon

Somewhere along the line, salons became the place to go mainly for specific styles and chemical services rather than natural hair care and maintenance. You go to the dentist twice a year for cleanings and to check on your oral health even though you brush your teeth every day, and to the eye doctor yearly to make sure your vision and eye health are still in check even when you *feel like* nothing has changed. The truth is you are not a licensed professional, and you should always be sure to get the best care possible, so the same applies to your hair. Even as a naturalista with all the tips and tricks, you should still be going to a stylist occasionally to check in on your hair health and boost your growth. Natural, permed, or somewhere in between, salon visits can provide more than just a cute style and will benefit you in a few ways.

1. Proper Trims

If you asked us why your hair isn’t growing, it wouldn’t take us long to guess – you’re not getting it trimmed enough. Regardless of whether you’ve researched the topic endlessly and tried to DIY this service at home, you may be missing a spot or two. Trained stylists determine whether you need a trim or a cut to stimulate hair growth again. Getting rid of those dead, split, and damaged ends can help you start to see those inches – and we all know you can’t really reach the back of your head.

2. Safe Styling

There are a lot of styles that you can DIY, but others you should leave to the professionals. Heat styling is like walking a tight rope and can quickly lead to heat damage when done improperly. Trained hair stylists know how to go about doing silk presses on natural hair while preserving your curly tresses, whereas going for it at home could lead to high heat or too much heat on one area. Other chemical processes like highlights or chemical relaxers should also be left to the professionals. Your scalp is sensitive and can become easily damaged by these chemicals when not properly applied or removed. While you may think that it’s enough just to read the instructions on the box, your hair will be its healthiest with help from a professional.

3. Professional Advice for Growth and Care

With modern technology, you have all the knowledge and products you need at your fingertips – literally. But none of that helps if you don’t know which products to use, when to use them, how to use them, and in what order for your specific head of hair. Meeting with a stylist every once in a while may help you gain insight on the products and techniques that work for your hair based on porosity, hair type, and more.

Your natural hair journey is highly individualistic, and you may have it figured out, but sometimes it’s good for you and your hair to get a full treatment. Salon appointments promote relaxation and can give your mind some time to rest, especially with Salon Brazyl. Book an appointment for a trim and treatment to revitalize and refresh your curls.
