Gone are the days when hair care merely consisted of just washing and then drying your hair.
With all the hair care products that are on the market today, choosing which products would
work best for you hair type can be a bit confusing.

Basic Hair Care Tips

Use a wide toothed comb, instead of a brush, when combing wet hair. A brush can cause hair
to break.
Brush hair daily. There are several different types of brushes that are on the market, choose
one that works best for your hair.
Get regular hair cuts. By keeping your hair trimmed, not only do you look better, but your hair
remains healthier. By trimming your hair, you are removing split ends that can cause the hair to
dry out.

Hair Care Tips For Dry Hair

Wash hair 2 to 3 times a week. The oil that builds up on your hair serves to protect your hair.
Washing your hair too much can strip your hair of the natural oils that are designed to protect it,
resulting in breakage and frizzing.
Use a wide-toothed comb to brush your hair, whether it is wet or dry. Brushes can cause the
hair to break.
Use products that are specifically designed for dry hair. Use products that are designed to
moisturize the hair.

Hair Care Tips For Colored Hair

Color your hair no often then every 6 weeks. It is recommended that any color application done
before that time, simply be a touch up.
Use products, such as J-Life Xtreme Colour Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner, that are
designed for color treated hair
Once a week, use a conditioner that is designed to seal in and bring out the color

Hair Care Tips For Curly/Permed Hair

Curly hair tends to dry out faster then straight hair.  Wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week.
Use a wide-toothed comb as opposed to a brush to avoid breaking and frizzing
Use products that are designed for curly hair, such as J-Life Catch A Wave Curl Defining Shampoo and Conditioner or
J-Life Perfect Wav Defrizzing Curl Definition Styling Product


Hair Care Tips For Straight Hair

moisture, use a product that is designed for your hair type, such as J-Life Dead Calm Straight
Shampoo and Conditioner

Hair Care Tips For Children

Children have a tendency to be more “tender-headed” then adults, so take care when brushing
or combing their hair
Wash a child’s hair just as you would an adults. Every 2 to 3 days should suffice.
Avoid using hair care products that have added chemicals.
For girls with longer hair that tends to tangle, use a detangling mist to help remove the tangles.

Hair Care Tips For Men

Most men have shorter hair. Keep it trimmed to keep a neat appearance. If you have longer hair,
get it trimmed once a month to remove breakage and split ends
Use a styling gel that is designed for men to help tame fly-aways.
Wash hair 2 to 3 times a week.
Use hair care products that are formulated for men.
