How to get Hollywood style shine - winter edition

Winter can play havoc with your hair. We asked our experts in the salon for their top three tips for restoring order…

Invest in a moisturising hair serum

Colder months can dry hair out and a good hair serum is the fastest way to restore order. The best hair serums will work to smooth frizz while also adding shine, making your hair look as healthy as can be. What’s more, today’s best options come with a whole host of added benefits, from colour-protecting ingredients to nourishing actives and deep-hydrating extracts.

Try a weekly hair mask

Just like hydrating yourself with a glass of water, a hair mask puts moisture back into the hair giving it a new lease of life. It also helps weakened hair follicles to regain strength and elasticity, helping to avoid further damage.

Don’t neglect your scalp

Just like the skin on your face, your scalp can become dry and sensitive when it is exposed to the cold and central heating. Like your skin, you should treat your scalp to some extra TLC in the winter, using products that specifically address your issues.

For instance, applying a weekly soothing scalp mask is a great way to calm and moisturise your scalp. Daily hydrating scalp toners can also be very beneficial – a healthy scalp is key to hair growth.

How to repair dry hair at home

It’s going to be a hot one this weekend and lovely as the sunshine is, it can really play havoc with your hair.

So, how do you repair dry, sun-damaged hair? Here are our top tips:

Use protection

UV rays can damage your hair as well as your skin. Investing in a hair protector that has UV filters has the same effect as sun cream, shielding the strands from harmful rays (which can break down the structure of your hair as well as fade any colour).
