4 Steps to Shiny, Healthy Hair
by Rachel Hayes, Daily Makeover
The key to creating any gorgeous hairstyle is to start with healthy, shiny hair. Guest editor and NYC salon owner Sam Brocato shares his best beauty tips on how to score healthy hair even after months of winter abuse. Sam and his team have worked with countless celebrities including Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, and Claire Danes.
Step 1: Lather Up Gently
Basic winter hair care starts with a gentle shampoo that won’t strip hair of moisture.
Try to shampoo less than 3 times a week and use a dry shampoo in between washings.
If you simply can’t part with a favorite shampoo or daily wash, blend two parts shampoo with one part conditioner for added moisture.
If you’re ready for something new, try a conditioning treatment that has a mild foaming agent like my Brocato Constructor.

Hey Karen! I tried the ‘continue reading’ button to read the rest, but it brought me to a different article?
Oops! My bad. Thanks for letting me know, Tiffany. It’s fixed now.
Same thing happened to me! I’m super curious because I was JUST thinking about haircare… nooo the suspense! 😛
And the Daily Makeover site doesn’t seem to have a search box?! What’s up with that?
Anyway – here’s the link. I found it on google:

Hi, Heeyeon. It should point to the right place now.
Have a great hair (and otherwise) day!
I like that tip about the hair mask … giht give it a try!
The thing I cant do is not wash my hair everyday — its bad for my hair I know but I just cant do the greasy look at all. 🙂
Hi Nina,
When I’m working out consistently I have to wash every day too (can’t stand a sweaty scalp). One thing I like to do is skip the shampoo and wash with water or a light conditioner (in place of the shampoo) instead. It really helps with cutting down the dryness.
My cousin told me thats what she does — shampoo every other day and conditioner everyday … im going to give that a spin this weekend and see how it goes! 🙂
Thanks, Karen!
Great tips! I usually can’t go one day without washing my hair because it get’s so greasy(SO annoying) Even dry shampoo does not help!! So I try to be extra diligent in the other categories!
Hi Devs,
I have to get better about using a hair masque. Have you found a good one? Which one’s your fave?
I’ve been using Aussie 3-minute miracle about 3x a week and it’s been really moisturizing without weighing down my hair.
Oh, I love how that smells! Takes me back to college. 🙂
