Seen Amy's latest feature in AOL's StyleList? Check it out here: The Biggest Hair Truths & Myths. Here are a couple of excerpts from the article:


"Do I need a full 15 minutes for a deep conditioner to work?"

NO. "Any amount of time you can dedicate to deep conditioning is good. It's better than nothing -- just like exercise," says Amy Abramite, Creative Director of Chicago's Maxine Salon. Wrapping hair in a warm damp towel "will open the cuticle so your hair accepts the conditioner quicker," says Abramite.

 

"So many hair products claim to repair split ends. Can they?"

NO. No product on the market can actually repair split ends, although some can temporarily fuse ends together for a smoother look. "Harsh reality: the best way to treat split ends is to cut them off," says Abramite.

   
 

"Can I wash my hair with conditioner, and skip shampoo?"

YES, BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE COARSE HAIR. Abramite says, "Just conditioning curly or coarse hair will prevent frizz. An occasional wash will prevent product-build up.
