Thinning hair

What can I do to stop my hair from falling out?

First, find out why: see your doctor for a blood test if the shedding is new. Then be gentle with your hair, care for your scalp every day, and get a cut that makes the most of the hair you have.

Gray hair

How do I blend gray instead of covering it?

Switch from solid coverage to gray blending: soft lowlights and highlights that let your silver become part of the color, so regrowth is gentle and visits stretch to 8 to 12 weeks.

How often should I get a haircut?

Short hair every 4 to 6 weeks, medium length every 6 to 8, and long hair every 8 to 12. Come sooner if the ends feel dry or the shape stops falling into place.

Color care

Why does my hair color fade so fast?

Hot water, harsh shampoos, sun, and heat styling wash color out. Wash less often in cool water, use a color-safe shampoo, and protect your hair from heat.

Curly hair

What is the best way to care for curly hair?

Get a cut shaped for your curls, keep them hydrated, blot instead of rubbing, and never brush them dry. Let curls dry undisturbed, or use a diffuser on low.
