In a recent video, the 33-year-old mom revealed the warning sign that means a hairdresser might not be helping you achieve healthier, fuller hair.
Danielle, who co-hosts parenting podcast Keep it casualsaid: “Whether your hair is naturally thick or thin, healthy hair always looks thicker.
“If you have damaged blonde hair, dying it brown won’t make it look thicker or healthier.
“If your hairdresser tells you to go brown to take a break from blonde, that’s a red flag. Your hair never needs a break from blonde.”
Danielle also shared more tips to help get your hair in the best condition.
“If your hair is fine and damaged, stop putting so much heat on it, start oiling your hair daily, take a hair vitamin,” she said.
“Thin hair can appear thick when healthy. And guess what, having slightly finer hair is much easier to take care of.
“Almost all of my thick-haired clients wish their hair was thinner.”
And even if you’re trying to grow your hair out, you need to get regular haircuts to keep it from becoming loose and having zero volume.
Danielle added: “I like to give my clients what I call invisible layers. This is where I will take weight away from certain areas of the hair, even fine hair carries weight.
“It’s about shaping your hair so it doesn’t lie flat and lifts, giving the illusion that your hair is thicker and has more volume.
“You gotta do a little style [too]. You can’t let any hair have too much volume.”
Danielle previously revealed the big mistake people make when washing their hair – and it could be destroying your locks.
She said: “If you wash the ends of your hair with shampoo, you are doing it wrong.
“The shampoo is used to clean the scalp and hair roots.
“Washing the ends can cause tangling and possible breakage.”
She also revealed the three shampoo brands she trusts and always recommends to clients.
In addition to in-salon hairdressing services, Danielle offers online tutorials to help your fellow hairstylists perfect their coloring skills – in particular, bleaching and balayage.
The 4 phases of the hair growth cycle
Hair experts at Philip Kingsley have shared the four stages of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen.
Anagen Phase: Also known as the ‘Growth Phase’ or ‘Active Phase’, this is when the hair root cells divide more quickly, forming more new hair.
During the anagen phase, hair grows about half an inch per month [about six inches a year]and faster in summer than in winter.
This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.
Catagen Phase: After the Anagen Phase, your hair cycle enters a short transition phase known as the Catagen Phase, which signals the end of active hair growth and cuts off individual strands from the blood supply and cells that produce new hair.
Approximately three percent of all hair is in this stage at any given time and it lasts for about 10 days.
Telogen Phase: The third stage of the natural hair growth cycle is the Telogen Phase, a resting period in which strands remain in the follicles but are not actively growing.
An estimated 10 to 15 percent of your hair is in the telogen phase at any given time.
The Telogen Phase lasts about three months or 100 days.
Exogenous Phase: The final phase of the Hair Growth Cycle, when individual hairs are released from their follicles and fall out.
Now the whole process starts again.
