There is now an in between step that cannot be missed. After shampoo and before conditioner, do not skip the Warren-Tricomi PureStrength hair repair that fixes the problem at the root, well more accurately, the cuticles. Damaged cuticles is the cause of any number of bad hair days – breakage, split ends and lifeless hair. This is not a conditioner, in fact, it is not very creamy or emollient at all, it’s a gel that targets the cuticles and works on contact to make the cuticles lay flat, which is what healthy cuticles should do. But regular daily life can cause the cuticles to lift and flake and that’s when you have dry, brittle and limp hair. The treatment penetrates the hair, then makes the cuticles lie down to lock in the product so you have maximum volume, shine and strength. I can tell that the quality of my hair changed instantly by the way it feels, it is kind of squeaky, that’s the only way I can describe it. Each hair shaft is smoother so altogether my hair has a polished effect that makes it very glassy. I followed up with the conditioner and again, I can feel the difference in the texture. I have very straight hair but I get fly aways and the ends tend to get frizzy and uncooperative when it’s not perfectly styled. I may spend a few more minutes in the shower with this extra step but if it means I don’t have to spend all that time blowing it out with special curlers and brushes and thus, damaging my hair further in the process, I say that is time very well spent indeed. At Folica for $25.
