Why Your Hair Routine Isn’t Working (And How to Fix It in 3 Steps)
If you’ve ever felt like your hair routine “just isn’t doing anything,” you’re not alone.
Most clients aren’t using the wrong products, they’re using the wrong strategy.
Here’s how to fix that.
STEP 1: Identify your actual hair needs
Dry hair and damaged hair are not the same.
Fine hair and thin hair are not the same.
Frizzy hair and dehydrated hair are not the same.
Once you understand the root problem, everything changes.
STEP 2: Simplify your routine
Most routines fail because they’re too complicated.
Your hair only needs:
A quality shampoo
A nourishing conditioner
A leave-in
Serum
A weekly mask
Heat protection
If your leave-in has heat protection you don’t need the extra product. That’s it.
Everything else is optional.
STEP 3: Stop switching products too quickly
Hair needs time to respond often 2–6 weeks.
If you switch constantly, your hair never stabilizes.
Choose a routine and stick with it long enough to see results.
And here’s the big one…
Your stylist should always help you customize your routine.
