[[Hair Tips]]

• Back to basics. Take time washing your hair. Use only a dessertspoonful of shampoo and massage your scalp to improve circulation and stimulate growth. Always rinse shampoo extremely well, as any traces left on the hair will reduce shine.
  
• Don’t forget the conditioner! This will smooth down the hair cuticle and coats the shaft, acting as a de-tangler and protecting your hair from damage. When applying, concentrate on the lengths and ends of your hair rather than the scalp to avoid greasiness at the roots. And unless you are using a leave-in conditioner, make sure you rinse well, as any residue will leave your hair looking dull and weigh it down.
  
• Don’t dry out. Washing and blow drying your hair too often can strip it of natural oils and long hair is especially prone to becoming dry and brittle so allow hair to dry naturally when possible to maintain moisture levels. Give the ends of long hair extra attention by using extra conditioning cream or serum as these can be up to five years old and need as much moisture as possible to prevent splitting.
  
• Clarify your style. Styling products can leave a residue on your hair over time, so when necessary use a clarifying shampoo to remove any build-up. On short or mid-length styles that use lots of texturising waxes and gels, a clarifying shampoo should be used more regularly as these types of products build-up quickly.
  
• Intensive care. Take the time once a week to deep condition on your hair. These treatments contain more moisturising ingredients than regular conditioners, and work by penetrating the shaft to increase hydration. . Apply the intensive conditioner liberally to the lengths and ends of your hair, then use a wide-toothed comb to distribute evenly. Leave in for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. This will not only make your hair look and feel better, but also will keep moisture in, preventing split ends.
  
• Deep down shine. For an extra glossy finish apply your deep conditioner before relaxing in a hot bath or sauna. The heat will open up the hair shaft allowing the moisturising agents to penetrate deeper into the hair.
  
• Be gentle. If your hair seems to be breaking easily or falling out, it may be the result of rough treatment. Hard brushing or pulling, twisting the brush to tight when styling, snagging hair bands, chemical processing, chlorine and too much sun can all cause damage to your hair. Treat your hair gently especially when wet as it’s at its weakest. Always blot your hair with a towel, never rub it.
  
• Don’t overload your hair. Using too many styling products will weigh the hair down leaving it dull, lifeless, and difficult to style. With waxes, gels, and mousses, always apply the product to your palms first, rub together, then distribute as evenly as possible through the hair with your fingertips.
  
• Treat yourself to the right tools. Investing in good quality styling tools is essential in achieving a professional finish, and also minimises damage to your hair. Watch carefully the techniques your stylist uses on your hair, from the type of brushes they use, to how they direct the heat when drying it. This will allow you to recreate it properly yourself at home.
  
• Get it straight. Try using straightening irons for a smooth, glossy, professional finish to a straight style. Avoid damage by using them only on dry hair, no more than three or four times a week. Work on small sections at a time, being careful not to keep the hair clamped for too long or to go over the same section twice.
  
• The final touch. For natural looking hold that hides any split ends or broken hairs along your parting, spritz hairspray onto your palms first and then smooth onto the hair.
  
• Extra luxury. A rough cotton pillow can literally wear the hair away, so for extra luxury sleep on a satin pillow, which allows the hair to slide rather than being caught. It will also prevent your style from getting too out of shape during the night.
