FAQS

What are the best practices to achieve healthy hair?

• Know your hair: Identify your hair type (curly, straight, thin, etc.) and browse Ulta Beauty's extensive range of hair type-specific products. Take Ulta’s hair care quiz to get personalized recommendations.
• Wash smart: Ditch the one-size-fits-all approach! Find the perfect shampoo formulated for your hair type from Ulta Beauty. We offer gentle cleansers for color-treated hair, volumizing options for fine hair, and nourishing formulas for dry hair.
• Condition love: Replenish moisture and restore shine with regular conditioning. Explore Ulta's range of deep conditioners, hair masks, and leave-in treatments specifically designed to address your hair's needs. Focus on applying conditioner to the ends, where hair tends to be drier.
• Heat styling: Use heat protectant spray) and low heat settings whenever possible.
• Be gentle: Minimize breakage with the right tools! Use a gentle detangling brush from Ulta to remove knots, especially when your hair is wet and more vulnerable.
• Eat healthy, stay hydrated: A healthy diet and proper hydration are crucial for healthy hair growth. Pair a balanced diet with hair-nourishing supplements.
• Trim regularly: Split ends can travel up the hair shaft, causing damage. To maintain healthy hair growth, get regular trims (every 6-8 weeks) to remove split ends. The Salon at Ulta Beauty offers hair trim or cut appointments that can be conveniently scheduled online.

How often should I wash my hair?

The ideal hair wash schedule depends on your hair type and scalp condition. Here's a quick guide:

• Oily hair: Might benefit from daily or every other day washes with a gentle shampoo.
• Dry hair: Likely needs less frequent washes (2-3 times a week) with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
• Normal hair: Consider a happy medium of 2-4 washes per week.

Listen to your hair! If it feels greasy, it might need a wash. If it feels dry or straw-like, you might be washing too often. Experiment and find the routine that keeps your hair feeling clean and healthy.

What is the order for hair care?

Here's the general order for a hair care routine:

1. Wash: Start with a shampoo that addresses your hair type (oily, dry, etc.).
2. Condition: Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the roots.
3. Hair Treatment (Optional): If you're using a deep conditioner, hair mask, or leave-in treatment, this would typically come after rinsing out your regular conditioner. Follow the specific instructions for the product you're using.
4. Detangle: While your hair is still damp, gently detangle it with a wide-tooth comb to minimize breakage.
5. Style (Optional): Apply any styling products you desire, like mousse or gel.
6. Dry: Let your hair air dry whenever possible. When you do blow dry your hair, apply a heat protectant beforehand and use the lowest heat setting possible.

Remember, this is a general guideline. You can adjust the order based on your specific hair type, products, and desired results.
