In part 1 of ‘Why to Take It Slow When You’re Going Blonde’, I explained what natural hair goes through and the amount of work it takes to get the hair to a lighter color. If the hair is naturally dark AND has box dye, it is much more difficult and more time is needed to remove not only the natural pigment, but the artificial dyes and extra...

Why should men use conditioner? Because as a society, we’ve moved past relying on the direction of your father’s personal grooming advice. Are you still wearing your dad’s underwear suggestions? No? Are we still asking what he thinks our next dance moves should be? Also, unlikely. Let’s put haircare on the same plane, unless of course he’s a client of Urban Betty, in which case he’s already heard this spiel. I’ll explain both the scientific...
