If you are having persistant problems, don’t hesitate to book a free consultation with us. Here is just a short list of a few hair problems and solutions we run into most weeks from clients:
End it all
Q: Despite having my hair cut every six to eight weeks. I still get split ends. Help! Mary 39
A: Unfortunately, the only way to repair split ends is to have them cut off – sorry! Split ends happen when the protective cuticle has been stripped away from the ends of hair fibres, and are more likely to develop in dry or brittle hair.
Typical causes of damage include excessive drying, vigorous brushing and over use of hair straighteners, so it’s important to treat your hair with care. Always use a wide-toothed comb on wet hair and don’t over-dry or over-brush your hair. Moisture is also a factor, so treat yourself to an extreme treatment in the salon.
Blonde’s have more fun
Q: How can I keep my highlights looking great in between salon visits? Lou 45
A: Use a blonde shampoo suitable for your shade, I like the Redken Blonde glam range. If your highlights tend to look brassy, opt for a violet-based conditioner that will remove yellow tones. Try and keep your hair out of the sun as this will fade the colour more quickly.
Damp Disaster
Q: Do you have any hints to help me limit how curly and frizzy my hair goes in wet and humid weather? Sharon 23
A: To prevent hair from fluffing up at the first sign of rain, use a moisture-resistant product such as Erekt by Fudge, it contains a humidifier gel that keeps out moisture and holds your style, while keeping it smooth and frizz-free.
Bed Head
Q: My hair is really fine and straight and I find that when I wake up it’s a real mess. Is it possible to have a hair cut that wouldn’t require me to style it each morning? Emma 36
A: With out a doubt, a stylish graduated bob that has been beautifully cut shouldn’t need styling every day. It will give you volume and fullness to your fine hair. One of the best ways to ensure your style lasts longer is to make sure you give the roots an extra boost when blow drying. To do this, take your hairdryer and blast the roots with warm air then set it with a blast of cold air. This simple technique will keep it looking fuller for days.
