Make sure to use a heat protectant spray to avoid potential heat damage from blow-drying your hair.

Expert Answer

Sulfates are widely used to create the lather in shampoos and act as the surfactant. They can be rather harsh on your hair.

Question

How do I keep it from drying?

Community Answer

If you’d like to keep your hair from being too dry, you can use a moisturizer and use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Also, keep your hair clean and make sure you brush it often. If you would like your hair to be wet all day from a shower, then keep wetting it with a spray bottle to keep it moist.

Question

My hair became curly after a bath, and I need my hair straight. What should I do?

Community Answer

Use a flat iron if you have one. If not, make two low pigtails in wet hair. Secure your hair all the way down with elastics until no hair is left. Let it air-dry and it should be straight again.

Question

When will my layered hair lose its layers and get back to (about) the same length again?

Community Answer

If all your hair is growing at the same speed, the long part of your hair will have to reach a point where it breaks for the layers to reach that spot. I recommend doing hair masks twice a month to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and soft, which will help your hair grow faster.

Question

I want to cut my layered hair into long bob. How is it possible?

Community Answer

Cut off the layers into a shoulder-length bob. You can re-layer your hair afterward if you'd like layers.
