A Friendly Rebuttal: Lie #4 explained

We continue our series of rebuttals to refinery29.com's article, "10 Lies Your Hairstylist Tells You" with rebuttal-less agreement. Today, I applaud and appreciate refinery29.com and professional Nora Croft.

Lie #4: Fine-Haired Women Should Always Go Short
The truth is beauty is subjective, as mentioned yesterday. What's important is finding a style that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident even if it's not by definition "the right look for your (insert descriptive feature here)". I especially appreciate Croft when she says "Nobody should 'always' do anything". Each individual is just that; an individual and there truly is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to beauty. What's truly beautiful is seeing yourself positively. 

refinery29.com gives great advice in saying "If you do want to grow out fine hair, take extra care of your locks: deep conditioning, frequent trims, and skip the heat styling as often [as] possible".

Personally, I do not see heat-styling as an enemy. With the right products, you can maintain healthy hair AND heat-style on a regular basis. I recommend Sojourn Thermal Protection Straightener as a prep for all heat-styling. Do not be fooled by the name. When applied to the mid-shaft and ends before adding curl or diffusing naturally curly hair it won't weigh-down, flatten, or otherwise straighten those curly tresses.

What makes this product so incredible is that the pH is 4.5-5.5; the same pH of your hair and skin. What does this actually mean? By having the same pH as your hair, it helps close the hair-cuticle holding in and maintaining moisture which results in smooth, shiny, healthy hair.
