When Should You Wash Your Hair Twice?

Rachel Ward on April 12, 2023

Hair washing is an essential aspect of personal hygiene, and many people follow a regular hair-washing routine to maintain the cleanliness and health of their hair. However, there are times when one wash is not enough, and you may need to wash your hair twice to achieve optimal results.

How to wash your hair twice for optimal results:

First Wash: Use a Clarifying Shampoo to loosen up product and oil buildup.
Second Wash: Use a Shampoo tailored to your hair type to clean your scalp and hair shaft.
Condition Your Hair: Use a Moisturizing Conditioner, apply midshaft to ends.

The decision to wash your hair twice should depend on several factors, including your hair type, your lifestyle, and your hair’s current condition. Here are some scenarios when you may need to wash your hair twice:

If You Go 3 or More Days Between Washing.

If you go 3 or more days between washes you could benefit from washing your hair twice. Depending on the level and nature of your daily activities, cleansing once will in most cases not fully clean out all of the buildup. Our hair collects product buildup, dust, dirt, sweat and oils. Cleansing twice will allow the buildup to wash away leaving your hair fresh and clean before conditioning.

If You use Dry Shampoo Regularly.

While dry shampoo is a convenient way to refresh your hair and absorb excess oil without the use of water, it’s important to understand that it does not actually clean your hair or scalp.

Dry shampoo works by absorbing oil and other impurities from your hair, which can build up over time if you rely on it too often. Washing your hair thoroughly is important for removing dirt, sweat, and buildup of oils and products from your hair and scalp. This can help prevent clogged hair follicles, scalp irritation, and even hair loss.

So even if you use dry shampoo, washing your hair twice at least every few days or as often as recommended by your hair type and lifestyle. This will ensure that your scalp and hair stay healthy and clean.

If Your Hair Gets Very Oily.

If your hair gets very oily, washing it twice can help to remove excess oil and buildup from your scalp and hair. The first wash will help to break down and remove the excess oil, dirt, and product buildup that can accumulate on your scalp and hair. The second wash allows the shampoo to fully penetrate your hair and scalp, ensuring that all traces of oil and buildup are removed.

However, it’s important not to over-wash your hair, as this can strip your hair and scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. The frequency with which you should wash your hair depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and individual needs.

If you have very oily hair, you may need to wash it more frequently than someone with dry hair. It’s also important to use a shampoo that’s formulated for your hair type and to avoid using too much conditioner or other hair products that can contribute to oil buildup.

In conclusion, washing your hair twice can be beneficial in certain situations, but it’s not necessary to do so every time you wash your hair. Pay attention to your hair’s condition and adjust your washing routine accordingly. With proper care and attention, you can maintain healthy and beautiful hair.

The Best Blow Dry Products

Rachel Ward on February 17, 2023

Blow drying your hair can be a fantastic way to achieve a polished and professional look, but it can also be a real challenge if you don’t have the right products. Fortunately, there are a number of high-quality blow dry products on the market that can help you get the perfect blowout every time. Let’s take a closer look at some of our favorite blow dry products and what makes them so effective.

1. Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner

To get a perfect blowout you must start with a clean and smooth canvas. Shampoo and conditioner are important for a blowout for several reasons. First and foremost, they help to cleanse and hydrate your hair, which is essential for creating a smooth and polished finish. When you shampoo your hair, you remove any dirt, oil, and product buildup that can weigh down your hair and make it harder to style. Conditioner, on the other hand, helps to nourish and moisturize your hair, making it softer and more manageable.

Kevin Murphy Blow Dry Wash and Rinse: Features anti-breakage technology to help strengthen and nourish hair. Designed to extend your blowout for a long lasting style.

2. Heat Protectant Spray

One of the most important blow dry products to invest in is a heat protectant spray. These sprays are designed to create a barrier between your hair and the heat of your blow dryer, reducing damage and breakage. They’re easy to use and can make a big difference in the overall health and appearance of your hair.

Ever Smooth Blow Dry Spray: Smoothing, heat-activated style extender creates the ultimate silky, smooth blowout with softness, volume and humidity resistance for a frizz-free finish.

Ever Bounce Blow Dry Spray: Lasting hold, heat-activated style extender creates smooth body with bounce and humidity resistance for a frizz-free finish.

Ever Lift Blow Dry Spray: Volumising, heat-activated style extender creates smooth volume and lift for a blowout that is soft to the touch and humidity resistance for a frizz-free finish.

Ever Thicken Blow Dry Spray: Thickening, heat-activated style extender creates thicker, fuller hair and humidity resistance for a frizz-free finish.

3. Volumising Moose

If you’re looking to add volume and body to your hair, a volumizing mousse can be a great option. This product is designed to be applied to wet hair before blow drying, and it works by lifting the hair at the roots to create a fuller, more voluminous look.

Body Builder: Volumising mousse that creates beautiful body without any sticky crunches, just flexible fullness and hold.

4. Smoothing Serum

For those with frizzy or curly hair, a smoothing serum can be a game-changer. These products are designed to help tame frizz and flyaways, leaving your hair looking sleek and polished. They’re typically applied to dry hair before blow drying, and they can also help protect your hair from humidity and other environmental factors.

No Frizz Vanishing Oil: A fast-absorbing oil that vanishes into strands to hydrate and block humidity, leaving hair smooth and shiny.

In conclusion, the best blow dry products are those that help you achieve your desired style while also protecting and nourishing your hair. Whether you’re looking to add volume, tame frizz, or create a sleek, polished look, there’s a product out there that can help. By investing in the right products, you can get pro Do Blow Dry Bar-worthy results.

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

Rachel Ward on November 23, 2021

Here at pro Do blow dry bar we specialize in blowouts and hair styling and our clients often ask us “How often should I wash my hair?” There isn’t exactly one specific answer. It comes down to your hair type, your activity level, and personal preference.

How to Determine When to Wash Your Hair

Everyone’s hair type, style preferences, and lifestyles are different. If you work out and sweat everyday, telling you to wash your hair as little as possible just won’t fly. Or if you color your hair, telling to wash your hair more often may lead to fading your color faster. It’s important you take your own personal habits and preferences into consideration to find a hair washing schedule that works best for you. If you have a feeling that you want to or should wash your hair, then do it! It’s your hair — so it’s important you’re comfortable with how it looks and feels.

Why is Washing Your Hair Regularly Important?

Shampooing helps remove dirt, oil, debris, and odors effectively from the hair. Excess oil and product buildup plugs up the follicles and can slow your hair growth, not to mention making your hair look and feel dirty.

Scalp Massage Benefits

Your hair health starts from the roots. Scalp massages while washing your hair help reduce product buildup and remove dead skin cells, stimulating hair growth by promoting blood circulation. A regular scalp massage routine boosts your hair’s natural beauty by supporting the health of your scalp and hair. To level-up your scalp health game, follow a regular scalp regimen.

Hair Types

The type of hair you have will determine the type of care your hair may need and the products required to maintain your hairs health.

Fine hair: Fine hair tends to be more delicate and fragile on the ends and can become oily on the roots. If you have this hair type, shampoo more frequently on your roots with a gentle shampoo and moisturize the ends well. ANGEL.WASH is a volumizing shampoo that will nourish and transform fine, fragile hair to soft healthy locks. Use a light detangler that won’t weigh your hair down.

Coarse Hair: Coarse hair is porous, with more of an open cuticle, especially if it’s curly. Wash your hair less often and keep it moisturized. Use a shampoo and conditioner that’s rich in lipids, to give your course hair more shine and keep it elastic. SMOOTH.AGAIN.WASH. will nourish and refine thick, coarse hair, delivering all-over softness and a stronger, smoother, shinier-looking finish.

Oily Hair: If your hair often feels greasy in a few days, you may have oily hair. Shampoo when your hair feels like it’s getting oily and building up. Give your hair a much-needed detox with a detoxifying shampoo. MAXI.WASH removes the build-up of unwanted products and oils from the hair and helps to purify for a clean, clear and refreshed scalp. Maxi wash is meant to be a pre-shampoo so follow up with your favorite shampoo.

Colored Hair: If you color your hair, stick with color safe shampoos and conditioners. Living Proof Color Care Shampoo is a sulfate-free, silicone-free color care shampoo that gently cleanses, nourishes and protects against UV, hard water and damage (which can cause color fading).

Blonde Hair: If you bleach your hair or have blonde hair use repairing shampoo and conditioners. REPAIR-ME.WASH. helps restore damaged hair and enrich it with powerful proteins and amino acids. You can also add a purple shampoo to your routine that will help maintain your hair’s brightness. BLONDE.ANGEL.WASH. this color enhancing shampoo takes on all tones – from creamy to platinum, and helps brighten and rescue dull color. If your ends are dry or damaged apply a small amount of hair oil daily.

Now that we’ve shared our basic knowledge about hair care and washing, you get to decide whats best for you and for your hair

How to Prevent and Repair Chlorine Damaged Hair

Rachel Ward on August 17, 2021

What are the effects of chlorine on our hair and skin?

Chlorine is used in pools to protect us from waterborne illnesses and various skin infections. While it is overall a good thing to have in pools, it does have its drawbacks. Your hair needs its natural oils to remain smooth and healthy. Chlorine can remove these natural oils from your hair and skin, leaving them feeling dry and rough. It can also cause a chemical reaction in your hair, making your color dull and “green tinted”. Don’t worry though, because there are ways to protect your hair from chlorine and to repair damage.

How to prevent your hair from being damaged by pool water..

Wear a swim cap or clip your hair up to keep it dry.
If you do get your hair wet, rinse your hair right after swimming.
Use a detangling spray on your hair before brushing.
