1. Match your hair type. One of the best ways to boost your hair’s health is by using products specifically formulated for your hair type or current concerns.
2. Lift thin, lifeless locks. Pump up skinny strands by using volumizing formulas. Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Full Blown Volume Shampoo gently cleanses the hair while infusing each strand with volume. Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Full Blown Volume Conditioner provides maximum volume, from root to tip.

• Preserve hair color and highlights. If you highlight or color your hair, it’s best to lather with a color-safe shampoo. Products specifically designed for color-treated hair are typically the only ones that are up to the challenge of keeping these locks hydrated without damaging or fading the color. Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Salon Technician Color Care Shampoo sustains luster even after multiple washings and safeguards against fading caused by UV rays. Amplify your color-focused maintenance with Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Salon Technician Color Care Conditioner.
• Show off stunning shine. Forget messy egg and cold-water treatments to get shiny hair that only lasts a day or two. You can create luminous locks using a glossing shampoo and conditioner. Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Brilliant Glossing Shampoo and Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Brilliant Glossing Conditioner transform dull strands with an innovative olive oil complex, giving hair a beautiful shine.
• Fight off frizz. Some hair types need extra attention when it comes to controlling frizz, a job that’s easily handled using specially designed conditioners. Liquid Keratin Infusing Deep De-Frizz Conditioner manages frizz immediately and can be used on a daily or as-needed basis.

3. Reconsider conditioner. Not all hair types benefit from a conditioning formula. According to About beauty expert Julyne Derrick, women with hair that’s curly, processed or dry should use a moisturizing conditioner on a regular basis. However, women with thin, fine hair might not need conditioner. But if you’re having difficulty maintaining moisture and combing out tangles without it, add conditioner to your routine. Derrick suggests a spray conditioner, which tends to be lightweight and won’t weigh down your hair. Ojon Revitalizing Mist smoothes and detangles tresses. Rene Furterer Volumea Volumizing Conditioning Spray No-Rinse lifts locks, giving hair more volume.
4. Protect your hair. Did you know that your hair is just as vulnerable to sun damage as your skin? Plus, contrary to popular belief, cloudy days provide zero protection. According to Judith Reichman, M.D., a Today show expert, UV rays are in full force just as much with cloud cover and smog as with direct sunlight.

• Use sunscreen. Protect your tresses from UV rays with sunscreen specifically designed for the hair. Oscar Blandi Capri Sun Shield Spray helps shield strands from UV and even chlorine damage.
• Repair damage. Rene Furterer Repairing After Sun Mask softens hair with phospholipids and palm butter, restoring hair health and minimizing some of the damaging effects of the sun.

The key to salon-fresh hair is to use products formulated for your hair type (and any current concerns) and to protect tresses from damaging UV rays. Avoid using conditioner if you’ve got thin or fine locks, unless they’re particularly unmanageable or in serious need of moisture. By using the above simple tips on a regular basis, you might find yourself shelling out for salon treatments less and less.
