​Hi there! Kami here from Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Today I sat down to write my first blog post ever, and I decided to go with something that I have had
a lifetime of experience with – thick hair. My love/hate relationship with my frizzy, thick hair started at a young age, and since then I have done just about everything to it (from bleaching it, to shaving it, my poor hair has seen it all) – however, no matter the length or colour, my favourite hair care tips remain the same.

• ROUTINE: This means figuring out your hair wash days (and times) ahead of schedule. For us thick haired people, this takes the panic out of waking up in the morning, greasy, and knowing that if you try to just ‘hop in the shower quick’ before work- you’re going to end up looking like a miniature lion with a wet nape section at your 3:00 meeting with the boss. ROUTINE has literally saved my life as a thick haired gal.
• SULPHATE FREE SHAMPOO AND QUALITY HAIR PRODUCTS: Although this may sound obvious, it really is one of the best things for managing thick hair. Sulphate free shampoos maintain the natural oils on your hair and scalp, leaving your hair with more moisture and less frizz.
• DETANGLING SPRAY AND A WET BRUSH: Pain free out-of-shower hair brushing, need I say more?

There we have it; those are my top 3 tips for embracing the blessing in disguise that is thick hair!

Until next time hair friends:
