Should I be rinsing with cold water?

Let’s Start at the beginning

Your hair’s cuticle (the outermost layer of the hair shaft) is the secret to smooth, shiny hair. It is composed of overlapping, scale-like cells that form a protective layer around the inner structures of the hair. When these layers lie flat and are properly aligned, they reflect light, resulting in luster for your locks. However, when the cuticle is raised or damaged, hair can appear frizzy, dull, and more prone to breakage.

How to Smooth the Cuticle

After washing and conditioning your hair, a final rinse with cold water flattens the cuticle, sealing in moisture and adding sheen. If a cold hair cool plunge sounds like torture, try the cold shot from your dryer once you have completed your blowout.

Professional Treatments

Looking for a more intensive solution? Salon treatments can help. A glossing treatment adds a clear protective layer to the hair, enhancing shine for up to 8 weeks. Maintaining your cuticle is essential for achieving healthy hair. By incorporating cold rinses or gloss treatments, you can ensure that your hair is protected from damage and that you shimmer every day.
