I always get people mentioning how nice and long my hair is. As soon as I get the compliment, they follow up with, "Don't cut it!" What's funny is that what they don't know is that I cut my hair often. No matter how many times I do, it sprouts right back out. I believe the reason is partly genetics but I always tell people a healthy foundation of cleansing and conditioning regularly makes a huge difference. I wash my hair every other day and spend a healthy amount of money on good shampoo and conditioner. One that I've recommended for the past 5+ years is Biolage normalizing shampoo and Biolage detangling solution. The normalizing shampoo literally feels like it pulls out all of the grime and dirt while the detangling solution conditions and makes your hair feel silky smooth. It smells great too! As far as regular day to day products, I use either olive oil or wild root cream if I plan on wearing my hair up for the week.

Here are a few tips on taking care of your hair:
- Avoid harsh chemicals if possible - Relaxers, perms and straightening systems are hard on your hair.
- Limit use of heat - after washing your hair, let it air dry rather than blow drying. Roll your hair or wrap it at night so you don't have to curl it or straighten in the morning.
- Don't over-wash - Shampooing daily is drying to your hair and scalp. Aim for two to three times a week - and on off days, rinse with water and condition only your ends.
- Deep condition - Deep condition at least once a week. You can add a mask or oil to your hair, wrap your head with a steamy, hot towel and sit for 30 minutes. It works wonders for your hair.
