For my wedding I would like ankle length curly auburn hair. My hair is currently shoulder length. Do you know any salons who can do this and the cost? As I cannot find any so far!

Wow Katrina! Make sure you let your husband to be know in advance! I like a challenge. You need to find a hairdresser that can do good hair extensions. Colour your own hair to the colour desired then approach either PAK hair world or Hairaisers to find hair the length you need it. Or, you could get a long wig and attach hair extensions to that. As far as I know the longest weft you can get is 26 inches but I could be wrong. As far as salon recommendation I don’t know where you live so that makes it too hard. Have fun! And good luck.

I have thick curly hair but a thin face and I am wondering whether to get short hair or keep it just past my shoulders how it is!

Using the correct products in your hair should calm it down so it doesn’t drown you. I can recommend "Smooth" creme by Philip Kingsley to calm it down whether your hair is long or short.

I switched shampoos a week ago. At first the new shampoo made my hair almost waxy and I hated it not having any other shampoo, I continued to use it. tonight I used it for the third time and suddenly, my hair looks and feels better than it has in years. Why did it start out so awful and changed to being so great?

This could have been a number of things one being if your hair had already had products in to start with however if it seems to have worked then keep using it

If I use a 9 and 10.1 on a base 7 half and half with 20 vol what result would I get?

This could come out as a caramel/honey blonde however be careful with peroxide as it could also turn out a reddish tinge.

Good luck

I am at Hairdressing College and one of my work questions is why it important to consider natural colour skin tones when colouring hair?

The reason behind this is because some skin colours can make other colours look less attractive to the eye for example light pale skin with white or blonde hair can make someone look washed out.

I have always had long, thick hair but in the last few years due to illness and medication I have only half the hair I had. Despite using thickening products it is now starting to look noticeably thin. I would like some ideas of styles to make it look thicker. I am 39, have a round face and thanks to the medication (steroids) I am slightly overweight. The good news is I’ll be off the steroids and on something else which won’t make me lose my hair and put weight on shortly, so hopefully my hair will grow back. Currently, my hair is about 6 inches below my shoulder with some long layers. I have a semi permanent dye a few shades darker and warmer than my natural colour.

The best way to make your hair look and feel thicker would be to go for more of a just above the shoulders bob style, with just a few long layers in. The bob style will definitely give you the effect of thicker hair, while the long layers will help you achieve some body and volume.

I have really thick hair and a high hairline! I don’t know what the best hairstyle would be for me. I have it in a bob at the moment, but after about 3 weeks of getting it cut, it’s really thick again! I have a full fringe, do you think I should keep it short or try to grow it?

It’s always difficult to advise without seeing the person but I wouldn’t suggest growing your hair as this will make life harder for you because of the thickness.

What can work well with very thick hair is to have your hair layered. This will reduce some of the weight in your style and hopefully make it easier for you to style.
