You love your hair. Your hair loves BALANCE!

Are you ready for BALANCE 101? It doesn't matter, because your STRANDS are! Get ready for the balancing act your hair has been waiting for.

Bottom line. Forget your hair texture. It may be fragile, broken, overly course, curly, too fine, yada, yada, yada. The deal-e-o is as follows: We all want the same thing regardless of our current hair "situation." We want soft, we want shiny and we want BOUNCY! Hair commercials frustrate the heck outa the public. They tease you all into thinking, "wash-n-go, get THIS hair!" No, no, no! Do not wash-n-go. If you're a wash-n-go type of gal or guy, I've got another blog for you, another day. Okay, back to basics. Back to BALANCE.

Your hair has texture. Your hair has type. Figure out your texture. Figure out your type. Texture being course, straight, fine, blah, blah, blah. Type is oily, dry, or confused. Confused is when your hair doesn't know what it wants to be...so it's oily at the scalp, dry at the ends (:

Golden rule of BALANCE: Do not focus on texture only or type only! For example, if your hair texture is FINE/LIMP and your type is DRY, you need balance. By fine textured I mean stuck-to-yo-head looks like you've got the hair of an infant. Problem is this. You want bounce, maybe even extra volume. don't go out and buy the entire line of Paul Mitchel Extra Body products! You'll be neglecting your thirsty hair, creating a brittle and crispy, helmet-type WIG! The proper balancing act would be as follows: Sebastian volupt shampoo and conditioner. Here's where balance comes in. Use Whipped Cream by Sebastian from the mid-shaft down. Volupt spray at the root for an extra sexy-do. Whipped cream is a bouncifyin' cream whip loaded with super light conditioners. It's perfect for the fine textured hair types...it allows hair to be soft, shiny and smooth while still having BOUNCE. Bouncy locks rock because bouncy means HEALTHY! Do it (:

Here's the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae and the chip of the cookie! Whatever texture you have, start with the shampoo and conditioner that will benefit. Follow with 1-2 products MAX that will cure your type problem-o's! Shampoo is the foundation/base of your DO. It must be nurtured (: You'd be surprised how madly you can fall in love with your hair, regardless of your "situation." Hate your hair cut? Balance saves. Try it. Love it.
