hair facts & tips
- Did you know on average a person will loose up to 100 hairs a day?
- Salon products are better... professional products use gentler cleansers, they are also more concentrated, and have higher levels of ingredients to produce truer results
- When brushing hair, always start from the bottom and gently work your way up. This removes tangle without breaking.
- Hair is at its weakest point when wet
- Hair is a protein made up of hard keratin
- Drink lots of water to keep your hair and skin hydrated
- To get more volume, blow-dry towel-dried hair using a vent brush on the roots until it is 70-80% dry before you style the rest with a round bristle brush
- For a really polished finish, swap conditioner for an intensive treatment. It cuts down blow-dry time and gives a smoother, shinier result
- To achieve a textured, messy look, work the products between the hands and push through the hair first then pull down ends
- Mix your mousse with your conditioner before applying it to damp hair for more controlled curls and waves
- Natural bristle brushed glide smoothing through the hair, where as plastic or nylon ones can drag, stretch and break it
- Create edgy texture by rough-drying hair with fingertips
- Be surprised at the variations you can achieve by blow-drying your hair in a different direction
- Using gel or moulding wax, play around with your parting and choppy layers to create new shapes
- For a high shine result blow-dry hair downwards to allow the hair cuticle to lie flat. This will allow a better reflection of light
- Give straight hair body and texture by roughing up the layers with a small dab of wax for a natural effect
