Love recommends adding dry shampoo to freshly washed hair (which is new to me) to add volume at the root and soak up oils before the oils have time to get the hair greasy. Giving your hair a break can result in less breakage (see what I did there). The less you wash your hair, the less oils are stripped. So, how does one refresh hair without permanently butchering your precious locks? Dry Shampoo “Hair trends online that are making me cringe are the people who are not professionally licensed trying to cut and color their hair! It almost always doesn’t come out as successful as you want, and you end up with more of a mess than what you started with,” she added. I say leave it to the professional when it comes to those two categories, but there are so many other things you can do to experiment with your hair.” Love explains. “There are many things I would recommend for people to try out with their hair while being quarantined, but coloring or cutting their hair is NOT one of them. When I asked Love the “dos” of coloring and cutting hair at home, her answer was simple: Don’t. So basically, she knows a little more about hair than me. Love has been in the industry for 10 years, has a casual half-million Instagram followers, and owns Larisa Love Salon in Studio City, CA.
While I’d like to think I know everything, I turned to Joico’s Larisa Love for some DIY hair advice. The box dye you once bleached your hair with in seventh grade is no longer acceptable, and cutting your bangs with kitchen scissors WILL ruin your life. That being said, 30-something days later, the trend of dying and cutting your hair at home is on the rise, and I for one feel like this must be controlled.
When entering quarantine, I knew that my skin and hair would thrive like never before.
