Q. how often should i wash my hair?
A. this is really a matter of personal choice. some women prefer to wash their hair every day, others have been told that they should rarely wash it. hair rules cleansers allow you to wash your hair as often as you like, leaving it soft, supple and moisturized, not dry and frizzy like many conventional shampoos. daily cleansing cream can be used every day (fine textures may want to skip conditioner), and aloe grapefruit can be used as follows:

kinky - 1 to 2 times per month
curly - once a week
wavy - every day
 
Q. what makes your shampoos different from conventional shampoos?
A. hair rules cleansers, daily cleansing cream and aloe grapefruit, have been specifically formulated to gently clean all hair types without ever depleting the hair of the moisture and pliability it requires to yield a perfectly loopy curl pattern. because they are so gentle, they work wonders in maintaining vibrancy in color-treated hair. unfortunately, conventional shampoos don’t address the special conditioning needs of textured hair. more often than not, they actually dry out and strip textured hair of its natural oils. as a result, women with textured hair are always trying to get their hair back to the manageability it had before they shampooed.
 
Q. how often can i restyle my hair?
can i refresh the style without washing? A. with hair rules products you can re-style your hair as often as you like, with or without shampooing and conditioning. to refresh without re-washing, simply mist your hair and add a touch of nourishment to refresh the curl. hydrating finishing cream added to dry hair will also help to polish up your style.
 
Q. i have a lot of fluffy, bushy but fine curly hair. which styling products do you recommend?
A. the fact is bushy hair is a natural characteristic of textured hair if it is not cared for properly. to start, shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo such as daily cleansing cream. style with wavy mousse, a lightweight product that defines and holds without crunch. what makes wavy mousse so great is its ability to adhere to the curl without weighing it down.
 
Q. sometimes my hair looks good but i need to calm down the frizz. is there anything i can do to define and add shine to what's there?
A. hydrating finishing cream will eliminate your frizz and add shine.
 
Q. is there a trick to sleeping on my hair at night?
A. tie a wide satin hair scarf completely around the hair, mid-crown. wake up, fluff, work a bit of hydrating finishing cream through your hair, and off you go. a satin pillowcase is another great option for wavier types.
 
Q. i’ve been relaxing my hair for years. how do i go natural?
A. transitioning from a relaxed to natural style is not as overwhelming as you may think. simply stop relaxing it. here are a couple of ways to go about it. 1: for starters, you can continue to heat style without worrying about the damaging effects of your relaxed hair. it’s just play hair. 2: you can cut it and start over - and learn to love your natural hair! cutting your hair can be a very emotional experience. but i've found many women find it liberating. 3: or, if you’re not ready to take the plunge and cut if off, you can get a curly weave, closely to the texture you desire, and use wavy mousse as a lightweight styling solution. weaves are a great way to transition through the process.

Q. i have straight hair. can i use your products?
A. of course! my business partner has straight, fine hair and is addicted to these products. her routine includes aloe grapefruit clarifying shampoo followed by nourishment. on days she is in a hurry, she will opt for cleansing cream alone. she loves wavy mousse to help her build volume without weight.
 
Q. i color my hair every six weeks. i’ve been told that shampooing my hair every day fades my color faster. what do you recommend to keep my color from fading?
A. textured hair and color-treated hair both need a lot of moisture to keep them looking their best. i would recommend switching from your traditional shampoo to cleansing cream to help maintain the vibrancy in your color.
 
Q. the more humid it gets, the frizzier my hair gets, especially after i wash it. what can i do?
A. humidity loves dry, textured hair. frizz won’t stand a fighting chance against our nourishment leave-in conditioner, topped with a bit of hydrating finishing cream.

Q. after i shampoo my hair, it gets big and frizzy. what kind of shampoo should i be using?
A. conventional shampoos will dry hair, leaving it frizzy and out of control. daily cleansing cream will help tame frizz by infusing your hair with highly conditioning and softening ingredients like panthenol, honey and hops. for extreme frizz follow with quench conditioner.
 
Q. i have fine curly hair. conditioner usually makes my hair flat. what do i do?

Q. i have kinky hair and my scalp is dry. what can i do?
