The good news is, you’re not alone. Everyone gets fuzzy hair, whether it’s from over-styling, excessive hairbrush yanking, too tight ponytails, menopausal hair thinning or even fragile post-baby hair.
The even better news is, you can fix it with these five anti-frizz products…
Apply it daily to freshly washed hair, and leave in all day to protect and nourish. Simply twist your hair into a bun or slick it back. Rinse off at night and style as normal.
Sea water won't do much damage to your hair overnight but chlorine will, especially if your hair is coloured. In fact if your hair is dyed, swimming in the pool could change the tone of your colour so keep hair tied up when taking the plunge.
Holidays are the perfect opportunity to relax your haircare regime. That means messy plaits, headbands or just tying it back in a simple ponytail.
We like L'Oreal's Elvive Extraordinary Hair Oil to keep our hair frizz-free. Buy it here.

Yes, it sounds simple, but protecting your strands with a hat is an easy way to keep hair healthy.
We love L’Oreal Paris Power Moisture Hydrating Shampoo and L'Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System Moisture Conditioner. Talk to us in the salon about our L’Oreal range of moisturising shampoos and conditioners.
Hair styling tools can be damaging at the best of times, but when the heat is on, give your hair a break by letting hair dry naturally.
Emma says: “You can’t repair split ends with any product or treatment, but you can prevent them. Trimming your hair regularly will keep your hair free of split ends.
“You can also reduce damage by avoiding drying your hair with a towel, as this can cause breakages. Instead of rubbing your head with a towel, apply pressure to gently squeeze out any excess water.”
Emma says: “Applying heat to hair can help straighten it, but the downside is that it dries it out. So the answer is to invest in a good hydrating treatment.
“Also let your hair dry naturally, but if you are using a hairdryer, avoid touching the hair with the nozzle as direct heat can cause frizziness. Instead, position it just above the hair and brush.”
Emma says: “We recommend that you get a trim or cut every 6 weeks, more often if you have a bob or shorter style to keep the shape.”
Emma says: “It depends on your hair type, but frequent washing can strip the hair of its natural oils. If you have dry hair, shampoo a maximum of two times a week, oily hair may need washing every day on the other hand. Normal hair should be washed once or twice a week.”

Hot weather. It’s great, but it puts your hair through hell!!
Protect against humidity with these 6 leave-in conditioners...
Heatwave hair care
As the heatwave this week sends temperatures soaring, try our top three tips for keeping your hair well protected and nourished.
Shampooing with a formula that’s too harsh for your dry hair, or washing too often can strip away your hair’s natural oils. On the other hand, you really can’t use too much conditioner — it’s dry hair’s best friend! So choose a shampoo that’s designed for dry hair like Elvive Extraordinary Oil Dry Hair Shampoo. These are usually creamy rather than clear, and they may contain ingredients like aloe vera or apricot kernel oil that help dry hair retain moisture. Then opt for a leave-in conditioner (we like Aussie Miracle Recharge Moisture Infuser Leave-in Conditioner) or Matrix Biology Keratindose Renewal Spray, available to buy now in the salon, to really hydrate the hair.
Up-dos are the best option in the heat, keeping your neckline fresh and cool. Channel Kim Kardashian and brush your hair into a low ponytail for a modern look, or roll into a messy bun like Meghan Markle for a timeless classic. Use a light serum to smooth flyaway hairs.
If high humidity levels are playing havoc with your hair, keep a vial of oil like this L'Oreal one in your handbag for an instant de-frizz solution. Another tip is to give your hair a cold rinse post-shampoo - it'll not only keep you cool but also shut off the hair cuticle to prevent hot-weather frizz.
