Best Hair Tips

Everyday ESSENTIALS

1

‘If possible wash hair daily - think how dirty your face gets by the end of a day, and you take your hair to the same places.’

2

‘A mini daily scalp massage is great for hair; spend two minutes gently kneading the scalp to improve blood flow as a healthy scalp = healthy hair.’

3

‘Rubbing hair with a towel is one of the most damaging things. After that it's over-heating the hair with driers, curling wands and straightening irons.'

Style SECRETS

4

‘Stop blowdrying once hair is dry; it’s using it on already dried hair that does the damage.’

5

‘Throw away your dryer nozzle, you don’t need it plus it can lead to excessive damage.’ 

6

‘On wet hair use a wide tooth comb and always gently ease out knots from the ends upwards.’ 

7

‘Take a look at your hair before you automatically shampoo/style it, often a blast of dry shampoo or a little hairspray will mean that you don't have to restyle that day.’

8

‘Just as you select your moisturiser to suit your skin type, you should select the right kinds of styling products for your hair to look its best.’ 

9

‘Dry, split ends make hair look dull and lifeless and having them trimmed off is the fast way to getting hair in good condition.’ 

Supermodel STYLE

10

‘For that swept supermodel fringe, blow dry it all forward and quite flat down over your face.Then push it all to the side to finish the look.’ 

11

‘If you want to get real supermodel hair like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or Gisele, rough dry the hair and then take random sections and wrap around big tongs, the secret is to leave the roots and at least an inch/half-inch at the ends and just tong the middle section.’ 

12

‘Hot or warm hair can be molded into any shape or style; to create perfect waves at home, simply twist hair up into a tight bun straight after blow-drying and leave to cool for as long as possible. Let it down once cool and you’ll have natural waves with no effort!’

13

‘For wild sexy hair, blow-dry with your head upside down using your fingers to tousle and add texture.’

Colour Me BEAUTIFUL

14

‘Book a conditioning treatment when your colour is done or use an over-night deep conditioning treatment soon after.’ 

15

‘Always have a consultation before you have your colour done. Take in tear sheets of hair colour that you like and also the colour you don’t want - aim to take five you love, five you hate.’ 

16

‘With a new colour you need to be fully aware of what you are committing to - if you want to go very blonde you can’t use straighteners every day, also how often will your roots need doing?’ 

17

‘If you love your colour – take a lot of pictures so your hairdresser will remember on the next appointment.’

Be a DIY EXPERT

18

‘Use a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week, it only takes 60 seconds to apply and it makes a huge difference.’

19

‘For an easy, at-home concoction for healing scalps and increasing shine mix 2 tablespoons each of almond, olive and coconut oil, massage through from the ends of the hair to the roots and leave in for one hour. Wash thoroughly after'

20

‘For the perfect at-home blowdry, always use a leave-in conditioner or blow dry lotion as a heat protectant and cuticle smoother. Use a root booster/volumiser on the roots and comb through to give lasting volume and hold, then use large round brushes and blow-dry section by section.’ 

21

‘Use a hair mask then cover with a plastic shower cap and add a little warmth from a hair dryer to get the treatment to work deeper into the hair. Always rinse well and finish with a blast of cool water to ensure maximum results.’ 

22

‘For a great DIY blowdry, rough dry your hair to about 90% and then for the last 10% only, dry the hair with a brush for a smooth finish.’
