8 Reasons you shouldn't wash your hair everyday

Want the secret to great hair? Well I have it for you. Stop washing your hair everyday! By now it's nothing new to hear from stylist or professionals to cut down on the amount of times we wash our hair. But is any one actually doing it?

I am and I can tell you it makes a huge difference in my hair. I try to wash my hair about 3 times a week and I have noticed that I have healthier, Shinier Hair and have also notices less frizz and growth. So Ladies and gents lay off the washing.

When I tell people that I only wash my hair 3 times a week most of them react "Ugh gross" especially my husband. However most people confuse not washing your hair with not showering. Which between you and me I might go every other day before showering :)

I know that a lot can depend on what type of hair you have. I you have overly greasy hair you can feel like there is no way you can go even one day with our washing. But let me tell you the 10 reasons that may help and also may change your mind.

1) It will make your mornings easier an faster. You wont be spending the extra 10 mins in the shower to wash and you also wont be spending 10 mins on drying it. Dirty hair is actually easier to style and hey who doesn't want an extra 20 mins of sleep right?

2) Dirty hair is best for braids. When your hair is clean it is often to soft and silky to keep a good braid in place. With Braids being a trendy look right now. Dirty hair will help you achieve that extra volume and full looking braid that will stay put.

3) Gives you natural texture. Embracing your natural texture is the best thing you can do for hair. If you have curly hair, but straighten it to death every single day, you're killing and drying out your hair. And if you have straight hair you're constantly curling, you're also hurting and drying it out. Now I'm not saying you can't style your hair with heat anymore, But when you let your hairs natural texture come out it is a good break for you hair.And when it's dirty, that natural texture is more likely to look amazing. Your natural texture can not usually be achieved using a hot tools

4) Keeps your hair healthier. Washing your hair too often actually strips it of it natural oils that helps your hair maintain its natural shine and also helps it grow.

5) It keeps your hair color longer. If you dye your hair you know you are always trying to find ways to make your color last. Well this is one less thing to worry about. Washing your hair is slowly stripping color and even if you use a color safe option in time it will dull it. 

6) You get to use dry shampoo! Kava H20 Dry Shampoo is my favorite. I love this product. It will dry up any excess oil and will give you amazing volume and texture as well. 

7) Saves you money. You will obviously be using less Shampoo and Conditioner and heat products that will help you save your money

8) Dirty hair is easier to style. Did you know the best up does are done with "dirty" hair? Your hair will keep the style much better then clean hair in general. And you can always add a shine spray to spruce up your look

So Let brake the mold and stay a little dirty, trust me you will love the results

Why should you use Taylor Maid Professional Product over Drug Store brands?

Everyone wants to know the difference between professional hair care brands and drug store brands. Well I'm here to give you the down low to help you achieve the beautiful hair you have always wanted and its not as expensive as you think.

I had roommates in collage that used the grocery store brands and I wanted to try them because I really wanted to know if there was a difference in quality. Well there is! After using the drug store brands I felt like I had to use a lot more product then usual and after I got out of the shower I was using twice as much leave in conditioner to get the frizz and tangles out. 
I have customers ask all the time what is the difference in the drug store shampoo and what Taylor Maid carries? 

INGREDIENTS MATTERS:

Unless you have allergies ingredients isn't always the first thing on your mind. But it is a good idea to know what is in your products. Rule of thumb, when reading ANY ingredient label the first listed is always the strongest and the last listed is always the weakest. 
A few ingredients to pay attention to are water, alcohol, and sulfates.

H2O: Is water the first ingredient listed in your shampoo? This usually means that the products is more diluted then others. So you may be paying less then Salon brands but you are also getting less products. One of my favorite professional lines is Kava which has tons of natural herbs and for best results it is to be used in small amounts because when combined with water (in your hair) it is activated and with lather perfectly.

Alcohol: We all know what alcohol does and when a product has high quantities of it it can be a one way ticket to dry hair. Although there are a lot of products that need alcohol to create the right consistency but in high amounts it can be damaging and you are not getting the proteins and nutrients from your hair care

Sulfates: I feel like sulfates are all anyone cares about right now and I am willing to bet that 90% of people don't even know what sulfates do. They can dry out the hair and strip the hair of color but they also play a huge part in helping a product get suds. Taylor Maid carries a huge variety of sulfate free hair care products and it is nice to be able to go into a store and have knowledgeable staff to help me get the right product. Sorry but drug store and grocery store employees usually aren't experts on Hair care.

PRICE
I know that price can be a big determining factor in your hair care but it truly is you get what you pay for. But at Taylor Maid they have products usually 25% less then retail all the time with coupons and deals on top of that. They carry every professional products that I love KAVA, Redken,  TRI Professional, Marrakesh , Purology, Paul Mitchel and so much more. My favorite sulfate free brand is Earthly Body (Marrakesh)
