The Long Hair Commandments: Wichita Stylists Say Thou Shalt Not Skip Deep Conditioning

Long-haired queens, gather 'round. Whether you’re rocking rich brunette, buttery blonde, or mermaid-inspired hues, colored hair comes with responsibilities. Not taxes-level responsibilities, but still — your hair deserves devotion. So, here are the sacred commandments for keeping your locks flawless. Violators may face the wrath of split ends.

1. Thou Shalt Deep Condition Like It’s Your Religion.

   • Once a week. No excuses. Your hair didn’t ask to be bleached to the gods and back, but here we are.

2. Thou Shalt Not Go to Bed with Wet Hair.

   • Unless you enjoy waking up looking like a tumbleweed. Silk pillowcases are your salvation. 🙏

3. Thou Shalt Worship at the Altar of Heat Protectant.

   • Curling iron? Straightener? Blow dryer? If your hair smells like toast, it’s already too late. Spray first, slay second.

4. Thou Shalt Trim Thy Split Ends, Not Thy Soul.

   • A “dusting” every 8–12 weeks keeps the ends crisp, not crispy. There’s a difference.

5. Thou Shalt Hydrate — Thy Hair and Thyself.

   • If you’re sipping iced coffee but your hair is drier than the Kansas wind, you’re doing it wrong. Drink water, babes. 💧

6. Thou Shalt Pre-Book Thine Appointments.

   • Don't play “Can I squeeze in?” roulette. Your future self deserves a fresh balayage, not roots for days.

7. Thou Shalt Embrace the Leave-In Conditioner Life.

   • It’s the lazy girl’s secret weapon. Spray, scrunch, slay.

8. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Friend’s Virgin Hair.

   • Yes, her hair is “so healthy” because she’s never colored it. But is it fun? No. You win.

9. Thou Shalt Air-Dry (Sometimes).

   • Your hair deserves a break from hot tools. A cute claw clip and some Moroccanoil leave-in? Chef’s kiss.

10. Thou Shalt Love Thy Hair Color Unconditionally.our post.
