Q.  JoJo I’ve been sick and haven’t been able to do my hair in over 6 months. It’s in really bad shape. I don’t want any chemicals in it, and I don’t want to cut it off. Do you have any suggestions on what products I can use?
A.   Illness can be rough on our hair, and most medications have side effects that could thin or break your hair; so, choosing the right shampoo and conditioners is very important.  I’d suggest Influence Moisturizing Shampoo and Influence Multiplex Conditioner. This conditioner has the perfect blend of moisture and protein to add strength and body to your hair. Thermal seal hairdressing will add shine without the greasy feel.
