Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
Maintaining short hair can be a bit more high-maintenance than long hair.
But with the right care routine, it can be incredibly easy to keep looking its best.
To preserve the color gloss of your short hair, I recommend getting a gloss treatment every 4-6 weeks to keep the color looking vibrant.
To prevent damage to the hair, I recommend using a bond-building treatment every 4-6 weeks to help repair the hair.
A regular trim every 6-8 weeks can also help prevent split ends and breakage.
