Q. What’s the best hair care for after chemotherapy? Kay Gray; Victoria, TX A. In my limited experience with chemotherapy, I’ve found in all cases the hair was not the same color or texture as it was prior to treatment.

A great cut has everything to do with the right tool for the texture of hair. Razors (left and second from right) should be used with respect—preferably on thick, not fine, hair.

Caitland really wants to break up with her split ends, but the relationship persists. Throughout her consultation, my job as stylist (and therapist) is to ask the appropriate open-ended questions: How often does she shampoo? Does she condition? How long does she leave the conditioner in before rinsing? (FYI, most waste it by flushing it [...]
With spring here and my life getting busier with outdoor activities, I wanted a cut that was more wash, blow and go than my usual look.
