Frizz: The Enemy

The other point of interest is the frizz in the crown area. When using ascorbic acid, it equalizes porosity and adds shine to the hair. The crown is the spot that takes a lot of the water pressure from the perspective of where most people stand in the shower. The hotter the shower the more blast to the crown area. The next thing you know the conditioner that was supposed to be softening the hair has run down the drain. The hair line and nape grab onto what is left and don’t get rinsed nearly as much as the crown!

With this in mind, wash with warm water. Rinse, shampoo then apply conditioner and place a shower cap over the conditioner to minimize product waste and unwanted heat to hair strands. Then you can turn up the heat to take a hot shower. The steam will increase your conditioner’s ability to do its work. This is awesome and allows for temperature control. I personally don’t like using cold water at the end of a service unless the customer has fantasy colors in their hair. Cold water closes the cuticle and doesn’t allow for subsequent hair care products to enter the strands.

At least once a week, I recommend turning around to face the shower head with you face towards the floor. Allow the water to rinse from the nape or base of your scalp to the top of your head. This will help with the flow of natural oils and build up to be removed with the water pressure.

It’s best to do a hard water remover and build up remover on the same day as a deep conditioner. The hair cuticle is prepped for receiving either a bond repair or an extra gulp of moisture. I recommend MalibuC Hard Water Remover every four to six weeks and deep conditioners alternately every third or fourth wash day.
