The Once-a-Week Routine That Will Save Your Hair

Sure, conditioning isn't rocket science. When you wash your hair, you probably include a hydrating helper, too. But one practice that needs to be reiterated? You should avoid the roots of your hair, because if too much product gets in the way, it will weigh down on the scalp.

An easy trick? Create a ponytail with your hands in the shower, and focus your conditioner on that tail section alone. Anything leftover on your hands should be pat onto the crown of the head. Leave on for five minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
