Rain seems to make my hair look great. I have fine hair the rain gives it body. Why?

Your not the first person to ask me this question. I believe its the fact that rain water is gentle, it is completely different to the water you use to wash your own hair with, which has chlorine in it that can dry out your own hair, especially if your hair is already quite fine. The cool breeze that usually accompanies the rain then it dry with a natural kink that if you are after volume looks great. My own hair always seems to go quite curly at the ends if I have been out in the rain and I love it.

I am getting married in Jan and I can’t figure out how to wear my hair. I have an oval face and long straight hair. It’s going to be a formal evening reception and I do not want an updo. Could you please suggest something?

Getting a bit of Romantic Movement into your hair could be the way to go depending on your dress. A large tong or hot roller set will give you a great wavy result. Do have a practice with your stylist. There are some fabulous hair slides that can be used for some colour and sparkle and make sure your colour is fresh and brings out the best in your skin tone. Ensure the condition is tip top by having treatments and using the best products. Redken is a fantastic range and has products for all hair types. Good luck and enjoy!

I dyed my hair today trying for a light golden brown from a soft black. Only my roots took and the rest of my hair lightened, but stayed dark. Should I recolor to a dark again to cover the mistake? I think this happened because my hair was previously colored and the only natural part was what has grown out.

Yes that’s exactly what has happened. Also a tip: - tint won’t colour over tint. This would be a professional job at a salon

I need serious help! My mum used to be my hairdresser and she used to just do my hair for me and decide what colours and cut I would I would only give brief guide lines of what I wanted, but now she’s got very ill and can’t keep up with it now and we cant afford to go to a salon anymore so I just wanted to know if you could recommend a home colour brand for me and a colour for my hair? I have shoulder length hair which is platinum blond with a few honey blonde and light brown highlights and my roots are mousy brown, I have green/hazel eyes any help would be much appreciated.

I completely understand how you feel about your hair and what to do, however if you seek a local hairdressing salon and ask if they do student/model/junior/training nights (this is where the trainees of the salon practice) they should be able to fit you in an appointment to help you out with your colour at a more affordable price and it will also make sure you get the right colour rather than pick one from a shelf in the supermarket yourself.

Big issue I have Layered shoulder length dark blonde hair. It used to be very long and VERY dark. Almost black. I don’t have the means to go to a salon for professional hair colouring but I need to find out what to do at home. I have been told my hair "Pulls red" Turns orange when I try to dye it blonde. I need to get “Bleach with a blue/ violet base, problem is when I get blue or violet based it is never BLONDE ENOUGH. I want very light blonde. I’m having SO much trouble. What do I do?

You don’t need to spend huge amounts doing this, ask salons in your area if they do model evenings in their salon and book yourself in. This will be much cheaper and you should achieve a great end result.

Can you help me achieve the Bon Jovi hairstyle? Not just the cut, but the after-look. Thank you so much

Firstly you can only achieve this style if your hair is cut like this, secondly once you have this style the way to style it would be to use a soft-medium wax in front of the mirror and style until you get the desired look. It is really all about having the correct shape to start from.
