Your hair care problems, solved!
If your hair puts the 'tress' in 'stress' then look no further. We've answered your most common hair care queries so that YOU can show your problematic locks who's boss!
A. Remember that your scalp is a continuation of your face so treat it gently. Steer clear of harsh sulphates (SLSs) when cleansing, then 'feed' lengths with a rich, conditioning treatment.
We rate: Leonor Greyl's {Bain TS - Balancing Shampoo for Oily Scalp and Dry Ends} or Josh Rosebrooke's ultra-mild Balance Shampoo to restore equilibrium, followed by rahua's super-natural {Conditioner} through the lengths to fortify and grant a healthy 'swish'.
A: The result of 'ruffled' cuticles, Living Proof's amazing, multi-tasking {Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo) 'seals' each strand ahead of styling, before Cloud Nine's must-have The Airshot scatters water to smooth strands and fend off flyaways.
A: Minimise heat styling to give brittle mane's a break then add a treatment to your weekly hair care ritual. Philip Kingsley's cult {Elasticizer} works to strengthen fragile strands and increase 'stretch', while Briogeo's Don't Despair, Repair! Strength + Moisture Leave-In Mask infuses lengths with precious moisture and protects from daily stressors.
A: Hair health is intrinsically linked to wellbeing - stress, illness or a stint of eating poorly will affect the strength and lustre of your locks. A supplement (such as OUAI Haircare's Thinning Hair) can fortify and stimulate new growth, while frequent treatment masks will help to 'undo' daily damage. We love Olaplex's incredible {No 3 Hair Perfector} to instantly bolster resilience.
A: Chemical processing, straightening irons and weather extremes (hello winter!) cause even healthy hair to break. Use a leave-in treatment to shield strands from aggressors, then rake oil through the ends to add some 'weight' and lessen static.
We rate: Philip Kingsley's {Daily Damage Defence Spray} and Pureology's Strength Cure Split End Salve to repair and protect fractured fibres, then The Ordinary's {100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil} to keep things sleek and looking wonderfully glossy.
A: Tease tangles with a wide-toothed comb to prevent stretching strands irreparably, then use a moisturising mist to define curls while damp - use your fingers to coax ringlets into shape then leave to air-dry for smooth, shiny separation.
We rate: Sachajuan's latest {Curl Treatment} (a 15-minute MIRACLE mask for corkscrews), combed gently through your mane using the Wet Brush {TxturePro Wave Comb} to combat tats without snapping your strands. Follow with OUAI Haircare's {Curl Jelly} for sexy separation, or try Davines's {OI All In One Milk} to hydrate and enhance definition.
