Hair You Love Starts With What You Do Every Day

Salon treatments and professional color are a big part of the picture, but what you do at home plays a huge role in the health of your hair. At Painted by Julia, we believe in a holistic approach to hair care. The right habits can help you extend the life of your color, reduce damage, and enjoy stronger, shinier hair every day.

Here Are 5 Healthy Hair Habits to Start Now

1. Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase

Switching from cotton to silk or satin can help prevent frizz, tangles, and breakage. The smooth surface reduces friction, so you wake up with fewer knots and smoother strands.

2. Shampoo Less Often (But Better)

Over-washing strips your scalp and hair of natural oils. Try washing two to three times per week with a salon-recommended shampoo that supports your color and moisture balance.

3. Protect Before You Heat Style

Always use a thermal protectant before blow drying, curling, or straightening. Heat damage builds up over time, so even one missed use can set your progress back.

4. Schedule Regular Trims

Trimming your ends every 8 to 10 weeks keeps split ends in check and helps your hair grow longer and stronger. It also keeps your style looking fresh and intentional.

5. Deep Condition Weekly

Give your hair a boost of hydration with a weekly treatment or mask. This is especially important if you color your hair, heat style often, or spend time in the sun or pool.
