Hair Maintenance
You’ve
got an important meeting or you’re running late for work, when out of
the blue a bad hair day strikes. Suddenly your hair products have lost
their magic and your usual styling routine fails to tame your lively
locks. Fear not – help is at hand with the following tips. First
of all hair care doesn't just revolve around the hair, so it is always
important to look after the head from which it sprouts from. By
massaging the scalp with your fingertips you are stimulating the blood
circulation - the condition of your scalp determines how healthy and
shiny the hair is. Get a smart cutMaintenance
of the hair starts with a good cut, and a visit to the hairdresser for
some scissor therapy will get rid of dry and split hair. It’s the cut that counts, so get one that suits your hair type, face shape and lifestyle. Remember it is your hair, so don't be afraid to tell them you just want a trim. Hairdressers are trained to cut the minimum amount of hair to make all the difference to the condition of your overall style. Likewise, there’s no point in getting a high-maintenance style if you only allow yourself 10 minutes to do your hair each morning. Combine a suitable style with regular trims and you’ll be amazed at how much easier your hair is to manage. Hair-conditionerFind the right shampoo and conditioner. This sounds like a simple solution, but products can make or break a bad hair day. Products play a key role in keeping the hair nourished and shiny, so choose a shampoo and conditioner which are gentle and rich in moisture.
Try xxx, a conditioning treatment that re-seals the hair shaft, neutralising the Alkaline without coating the hair, and adding moisture and shine. Air-dryAs much as possible try and dry your hair naturally. Over-use of heated appliances can dry the hair out and cause split-ends. When drying, blot gently with a towel and detangle with a wide-toothed comb and allow to dry. If you have to use the hairdryer we recommend you face the dryer downwards, use a leave-on conditioner for protection and avoid long exposure of both hair and scalp to the strong heat. Try and blow-dry on a cool setting.Creative Colouring Your hair needs to be in fantastic condition to withstand the strains of colour treatments. When colouring virgin or natural colour hair start where the colour is darkest, usually at the nape of the neck nor at the crown. Never select a colour that is more than two shades darker or lighter than your current hair colour. Before swimming give you hair a rinse and apply a hair protection cream.

Handle with careWhen combing out your hair after shampooing, always start from the bottom and work your way up to the roots, minimising the chance of tangles and breaking hair strands. When brushing hair, to eliminate static, try spraying a small amount of hairspray on the brush before brushing. Rubbing just a little moisturiser between your palms and then running your hands through the hair adds nourishment.Smooth Styling To create that drop-dead gorgeous look may involve a bit of style creativity. When using styling products it is best to apply it to clean hair, but be careful not to over do it. To add volume, apply products to the roots of your hair. When curling hair while blow-drying, wrap the hair around a round brush, briefly blow dry with hot air, then let it cool for a few seconds before releasing the brush. This will ensure the curl is more defined and makes over drying less likely.
