The Ultimate Guide to Hair Care: Expert Tips from The Salon Project
At The Salon Project by Joel Warren, we believe beautiful hair begins with expert knowledge and daily care. Whether you’re looking to restore shine, tame frizz, or embrace a bold new look, this ultimate hair care guide is packed with tips from our professional stylists to help you maintain healthy, radiant hair year-round.
1. Know Your Hair Type
Understanding your hair type is the first step toward a personalized hair care routine. Hair types generally fall into four categories:
Straight – Prone to oil buildup and needs lightweight products.
Wavy – Can be dry at the ends and frizzy near the roots.
Curly – Requires extra hydration to define curls and reduce frizz.
Coily – Delicate, prone to breakage, and benefits from intense moisture.
Pro Tip: If you're unsure about your hair type, book a consultation at The Salon Project and let our experts guide you.
2. Build the Perfect Daily Hair Care Routine
Your hair deserves consistent love. A solid daily routine can make all the difference.
Step 1: Cleanse Gently
Use sulfate-free shampoos that cleanse without stripping your hair's natural oils.
Step 2: Condition with Purpose
Hydrate your strands with conditioners targeted to your hair type—think volume for fine hair and repair for damaged locks.
Step 3: Dry with Care
Ditch the rough towel. Instead, blot your hair gently with a microfiber towel and let it air dry when possible.
Step 4: Protect & Style
Use heat protectant sprays before styling tools and finish with a nourishing serum or oil to lock in shine.
3. Seasonal Hair Care Strategies
Each season brings new challenges for your hair. Here’s how to stay ahead:
Summer:
Protect your hair from UV rays and chlorine with leave-in conditioners and hats.
Winter:
Combat static and dryness with deep conditioning treatments and hydrating oils.

Use the lowest heat setting necessary when blow-drying or using hot tools.
For volume, blow-dry your roots upside down.
Always detangle with a wide-tooth comb while hair is damp and conditioned.
Embrace air-drying when possible to reduce long-term heat damage.
