 MAINTAINING YOUR HAIR 
It is critical to have a hair routine; read Washing your Mane to learn why it is important not to wash your hair every day. There are numerous factors that can harm our hair, causing it to dry out and become brittle, as well as reduce the amount of hair that grows from our scalp. Here are some examples of what not to do.
  1. Using products right after you shower, or adding dry shampoo. Styling your hair with products right away doesn’t allow your hair follicles to breathe. If you must add products right away, have one or two days a week where you allow your hair to dry out without products.
  2. Do not dry your hair with a blow dryer or straighten your hair everyday. If you must, make sure to use heat protecting products and try to limit the amount of time you use heating tools.
  3. Do not just brush your hair, exfoliate it! Scalp massage brushes are amazing to use before shampoo or Jack dean Military Brush  when it's dry to help avoid dandruff and help drag your natural oils to the rest of your hair. This also helps to maintain the amount of oil you have on the roots of your hair. Too much oil clogs up, which is what we want to avoid.
  4. Believe it or not, but a shower filter is an amazing tool to have. Protects your skin and hair from dryness and irritation by eliminating chlorine and chloramine from the water. Chlorine is an agitator of a host of skin problems, exacerbating blemishes, acne, and also your hair.
