Hair Talk with JoJo 
the Haircare Expert
Q. JoJo, I have been wearing the Hair Botox in my hair for over 5 years and now my hair is long past the middle of my back. I pull it back and wear ponytails a lot and sometimes I curl or flat iron it. I admit that I don't like getting trims. I know you say we should get a trim every couple months, but I don't understand how my hair can grow if you always cut it off. My daughter thinks my hair looks terrible and that the ends are a mess, and I should cut 3-4 inches off. I feel that she's a little jealous because of my length of hair. Is trimming really necessary?
A. Yes, trimming is very important. As the ends split, they tangle. As you comb through the tangles, they break and thin more. The longer you go without a trim, the thinner your ends become leaving your hair long thin, bushy, and see through on the ends. Trimming those ends will make your hair look thicker and healthier.
Q. JoJo, are wigs still popular, and do lace front wigs break your hair?
A. Wigs are definitely still popular and offer the convenience of being able to go from short to long, straight to curly, or from black to blonde without damaging your natural hair. Wigs (girl friends) will be around for a long time. The adhesive used to secure lace front wigs have been blamed for breaking or thinning the front hairline, so cutting the lace off the front has been a popular option.
Q. JoJo, I've been wearing highlights since April, and they're almost gone. What colors would you suggest for the fall/winter season?
A. This is my favorite season. I love nature's colors on a woman's hair - the cognac's, mahogany browns, cranberry reds, and cinnamon oranges. These warm tones on a cool autumn evening are just what the doctor ordered!
