#  I think it's important to remember that your hair is dead…

![“I think it's important to remember that your hair is dead as soon as the follicle leaves the scalp. So if it's damaged by straighteners or products you can't 'heal' it with leave-in treatments. Those treatments will give it the appearance of shine immediately after but won't be long-lasting.” quote by Brad Mondo](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/54c/brad-mondo-8229_appearance_i-think-it-s-important-to-remember-that_2792583.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/54c/brad-mondo-8229_appearance_i-think-it-s-important-to-remember-that_2792583.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/54c/brad-mondo-8229_appearance_i-think-it-s-important-to-remember-that_2792583.jpg)
