Whether it’s from extreme heat, wind, pools, cold, or coloring, our hair can take a lot.

Truthfully, best if you don’t wait till you’re unhappy with your strands and make it a part of your routine. Depending on your hair type, you can start with once a week and observe the results; two to three times would be preferable if you have very dry or damaged hair, or in the summertime with all the humidity and days spent at the beach.
