Should I listen to Sally Beauty Rep?

[ChocolateSoda]

Hi all, semi newbie here (been lurking for months). Any-who...

I popped in to Sally's to buy some Aphogee treatment (shedding!) and the rep was telling how great the stuff is, which was fine. Then she asked me how often I washed my hair and I said 3 times a week (well mostly co-wash) and she told me "Oh no, you should cut back during the winter months."

The advice sounded reasonable until I looked at her head which looked like a bleached bird's nest. hmm... I'll take my advice from LHCF thank you. LOL

Does anyone slow down washing/co-washing during the winter? I'm in the Midwest so it's super cold and dry here.

Thanks!

You should wash your hair as much as YOU need too. For me, I wash between 2-3 times a week as I feel I need it. If your hair isn't suffering or showing adverse effects keep doing what you are doing.

If your hair is thriving then don't change a thing. If not, than maybe you could try cutting down on the washes.
I stopped doing as many cowashes once winter began just because I thought I should. My hair didn't like that, so now I'm back to cowashing about 3 times per week.

Nope, not at all!

I hear ya!

I used to have the driest flakiest scalp in the world - I could have done a dandruff commercial!!! Since I've been on this board I haven't seen not one flake!!

Sally rep vs your knowledge of your hair you win hands down.
The hardcore Aphogee though is only done every 6-8 weeks okay?

 

[Creatividual]

I say do what works best for your hair.

Birdnest lady prolly thinks you're washing with poo 3X per week.

And she is an authority on hair care because....?????

Basically...if it's working for you then stick with it.

Could she have been thinking more about you getting sick.....and not about your regimen?

 

[ChocolateSoda]

Oh, I didn't think about getting sick. I try not to go out with a wet head any way though. But I couldn't get past HER hair. LOL

I did the aphogee one time so far. It was very weird having such hard hair. Shedding slowed a teeny-tiny bit. I ordered this to try next:

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

I have slowed down on CW bc I realized that I lose less hair bc I am manipulating my hair less.

I'm in MI and I've been co-washing almost every day and my hair's been thriving like its no bodys business. I haven't seen breakage in I don't know how long!
