JUSTIN ANDERSON: We were born for this.

I've worked with celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, Gwyneth Paltrow, Margot Robbie, Kristin Cavallari, of course, my good friend. Even though we're all in quarantine right now because of the coronavirus, it's still important for us to feel our best because that keeps our mood lifted, our spirits high. Let's just go through a few things that you can do to keep your hair fresh at home. I'm a big believer that people shouldn't overshampoo their hair, but I realize we all want to have clean hair. So that's when our ACV-- it's the Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse by dpHUE.

It's an amazing product because it gently cleans your hair without stripping out the good oils. It's not going to mess with your color, but it's a great everyday shampoo alternative. Apple cider vinegar is a great product to use just in general. It's great for skin. People drink it. But it's really great for the hair because it seals the cuticle of your hair, and that's where you get all that nice shine that you want. Also, if you're not interested in using ACV on your hair, apple cider vinegar is not your thing, I understand. We also have the Color Fresh Shampoo and Conditioner.

It's a daily shampoo and conditioner that's super, super gentle. It's a great way to keep your hair clean, and it's not going to strip out your good hair color. Something a lot of people overlook is taking care of your scalp. So I think that once a week, people should do a scalp scrub to kind of clean any build-up or any product that's kind of sticking around on your scalp. And you want to make sure that your scalp is nice and clean because that's where healthy hair happens.

Within the dpHUE line, we have the Root Touch-Up Kit, and what that is, it's a kit that you can use at home to cover your gray hair on your own. You don't need the salon pro. We've included everything you need to be your own personal colorist. It's super, super gentle. There is no way to mess this up. You're just going in and touching up your roots exactly where you have the grays coming in. Leave the product on for 40 minutes, rinse it out, and you're good to go until the next time you go into the salon.

I understand that everybody could be a little bit intimidated by coloring their hair for the first time. But when you're just going in and taking care of your roots, don't be afraid. There's not much damage that you can do. If you're at all afraid of coloring your own roots at home, we also have the dpHUE Root Touch-Up Sprays. So what those are is a spray that you can spray directly on the roots. It covers the gray until you shower again.

Right now, because times are so scary and we don't know what's happening, I wanted to make sure that the hairdressers had a way to make money while they're not able to go to the salon. So right now, I'm giving all hairdressers 50% commission of anything that they sell on the dpHUE app. Your colorist or your hairdresser is going to have the app. They reach out to their clients, buy their clients products. The products get sent directly to the client, but the hairdresser makes the commission off of the product. It's a great way to make money while we can't be in the salon right now.
