Q & A with Yolanda
Haircare
Q How often should I wash my hair?
A Shampoo routines are individualized and should be scheduled based on factors such as style choice, daily activity, environment, product use and the over all condition of your hair.
Q Should I chemically treat my hair at home (ie. relaxer, permanents, color, highlights)?
A When it comes to chemical or thermal (heat) treatments its usually best to leave it to the pro’s. Misguided application can lead to damage and in extreme cases permanent injury to your hair or scalp.
Q Aren’t the products in retail stores just as good as the products from the salon/shop?
A Hair product is only as good as its ingredients and its formulation of course. Ultimately you get what you pay for, but price isn’t everything.
