Ever experience this? You can't quite remember when your last haircut was, but it's definitely been a while. You look into the mirror and suddenly realize your hair is screaming for attention. You rush to call your salon—only to find out it's all booked that week!

Which brings us to the question: When is the best time to book your next hair salon appointment?

The answer: Before you leave the salon on your current appointment.

The timing of your next salon visit depends on the length of your hair, your hairstyle and your hair type. Some people may need to come in every month, where as others will only need to come in every 2 months. That's why it's best to book your next appointment right after you get your hair done, so your hairstylist knows exactly when your hair will need another maintenance. You'll also have more scheduling options since you're booking it further in advance. We'll also call you for a reminder as the day approaches, so you don't have to worry about forgetting.

So, book your next appointment before you leave the salon. Avoid the chaos later.

What causes dandruff and how to get rid of it

Let’s face it. No one likes dandruff but hiding under a hat ain’t gonna fix anything. Get to know the different causes of dandruff and how to treat it.

To start off, did you know that there are two types of dandruff?

1. Dry dandruff

2. Oily dandruff

Let’s take a look at each one in detail.

Dry dandruff

This is one of the most common types of dandruff. When your scalp is dry, the bond that holds your skin cells together begins to weaken, thus causing dead skin cells falling off from your scalp. The dryness comes from several reasons. It could come from external factors like the winter dryness or irritation caused by your shampoo. It could also come from health diseases like thyroid disease and diabetes, as well as internal factors like lack of estrogen or vitamin A.

Oily dandruff

This type of dandruff is essentially caused by a combination of these 3 factors:

1.    Accumulation of sebum oil secreted from your scalp.

A lot of times, improper or irregular shampooing habits can lead to this. If your scalp isn’t clean, the sebum combines with all the dead skin cells and dirt forming itchy flakes.

2.    Malassezia

Malassezia is a fungus naturally found on your scalp. But when there’s excessive oil on your scalp, it serves as food for this fungus, thus helping them grow immensely. This in turn, produces an increased turnover of skin cells, causing unwanted flakes.

3.    Lack of immunity

So, now that you know the different causes of dandruff, here are a few hair care recommendations to treat it.
