Got a comment or a hair tip of your own?

Question: Hi I have fine curly shoulder length blonde hair. How or what would you recommend to add volume. I have tried mousse, volume hair spray, volume shampoo & cond. I use a hair dryer and rollers.

Answer: Hi, Try this for more volume: apply mousse all over then flip your hair upside down and blast with your hair dryer. Rollers will help also depending on the size you use; the bigger the roller the more volume. A good thing to remember too is this: less is more. Don't drown your hair with too much product as it can weigh the hair down and cause it to sit flat.

Question: I have fine hair but have damaged it by ironing and coloring it. So, for the past 5 months I have not colored or used the iron on my hair, I don't even blow-dry it, I just let it dry naturally. But it still gets frizzy from the humid weather and really puffy from the cold as well. What can I do to stop my hair from getting so puffy and big? Cheers
Answer: Hi, To stop your hair from puffing up you need to use a smoothing product and I would recommend a cream as using a serum based product can result in oily hair. To find the right product, I would suggest that you ask your stylist which smoothing cream is best for your hair as they can see your hair firsthand and make the right decision based on the texture and type of your hair. For best results when styling, always remember to apply a small amount of product into the palms of your hands and then rub your hands together before running the product through the ends of your hair only.
If you want to say goodbye to frizzy hair for the next 4 months, then you should seriously consider getting the Global Keratin Brazilian Smoothing treatment done.

Question: I’d like my hair to grow to a certain length. Is there a way to make it grow faster (without having to cut it?)
Answer: Unfortunately, the best way to encourage your hair to grow is by trimming it every 6-8 weeks. This will help it grow longer and healthier. Also, a healthy diet encourages the hair to grow quickly; and most importantly, patience is essential. So in sum, the hair will grow (of course) but regular trims and a healthy diet will encourage growth.

Question: I get my hair coloured and sometimes I get highlights, but it seems to get dry. I've tried using hair products for coloured hair, and I even use conditioner every time I shampoo. Also, my hair is fine. So I think my hairstylist is using bleach. Is there a way to get the same colour results without using bleach? Can you recommend anything please, like some special products etc?
Answer: Any chemicals in the hair (bleach or colour) might dry the hair out. If your stylist is using bleach, it's because she's trying to lift your present color and lighten it to a certain degree. Sometimes, depending on how much your hair needs to be lifted, it's hard to lighten it without using bleach.
Using shampoos and conditioners for chemically treated hair is a great idea, and we also recommend you apply a deep treatment at least once a week. This will strengthen the hair bonds and keep the cuticles smooth, easing dryness and frizziness. Daily moisturisers and serums are other good ideas because applying them daily also helps tackle the dryness problem. And remember: try not to straighten or blow-dry the hair too often because the heat used can dry your hair out more.

Question: I use my hair straightener everyday and need to know if using styling products alone will give me protection from the heat or if I should also be using a heat protection product?
Answer: Unfortunately, styling products alone do not protect the hair from the harsh heat of your straightening iron. So, the best thing to do is to get a thermal protection spray.

Question: My hair is a real gingery color. Do you have any suggestions for adding some spice to red hair?
Answer: Adding a slight change to ginger tones is great fun and you don't need to change the overall color to get a great result. Adding highlights and lowlights is the perfect way to add some spice and to enhance your naturally red tone. Try some very fine blonde pieces through the top or finer darker pieces throughout the hair in either brown or red tones.

Fight the Frizz
Control frizzy hair by getting the right cut (make sure you let your stylist see your hair in its natural form so they can give you a cut that works with your frizz), using a good shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for dry/frizzy hair, and smothering your hair with a heavy treatment once a week.

Wet hair wrecks styling products
Your hair should be almost dry before you apply any styling products. If it's too wet the styling products will have no effect because they'll evaporate as your hair's moisture dries off. Also, if your hair's wet styling it will take twice as long.

Avoid a big split
Avoid your hair splitting all the way up the shaft by snipping off split ends regularly. If you don't, your hair will break off faster than it will grow.

Turn up the volume
There's a trick to remember about volumizing products: always apply them to the roots of your hair. Why? Applying them to the ends will weigh your hair down- and that means no volume.
