Six questions about your hair — texture, scalp, history, and what you want from it. At the end you get a routine built around what your hair actually needs, with the reasoning behind it. Under a minute.
You’re on the list — here is your routine.

Repair
Your hair is asking for strength before anything else. Color, chemical work, and heat all break the internal bonds that keep a strand elastic — rebuild those first and everything else gets easier.
Wash less often than you think you need to, with lukewarm water. Once a week, swap your conditioner for a strengthening treatment and leave it the full time on the label. Look for bond-building and protein ingredients, and go easy on heat while your hair recovers — when you do style, use a precision instrument with real heat control, keep it moving, and finish on cool.

Hydration
Your hair is thirsty rather than damaged. Dryness makes hair look dull and feel rough, but it responds fast once moisture actually reaches the strand and stays there.
Condition every wash, ends first, and give it a minute before rinsing. Layer a leave-in on damp hair to hold water in, and seal with a light oil if your hair drinks it up. Look for humectants like glycerin and softening ingredients like shea — and rinse cool to close the surface of the strand so light bounces off it.

Balance
Healthy hair starts where it grows. Your answers point to the scalp — oil, sensitivity, or buildup — and to hair that wants a reset more than a rescue.
Wash with a gentle cleanser and actually massage the scalp — a full minute, fingertips not nails. Keep rich conditioners off the roots and on the lengths. Once a week, use a clarifying wash to clear buildup, then follow with conditioner so the lengths don't pay for it. If you wear extensions, give your scalp rest between installs and keep tension off the hairline. Consistency matters more than intensity here.

Definition
Your hair has a pattern that wants to show up — frizz is usually that pattern asking for moisture and less disruption, not a flaw to flatten out.
Detangle in the shower with conditioner still in, using fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Apply your styler to soaking-wet hair and scrunch upward, then stop touching it — hands cause frizz. Dry with a diffuser on low or air-dry, and swap your towel for a soft t-shirt. Refresh between washes with water and a little leave-in instead of restyling from scratch.
