I used to have straight thick hair but since I moved to a new house in front of the beach my hair has gone totally out of control, and now its horrible, I have curly (almost fried) hair and under that curly hair is the straight healthy hair I have tried a lot of products.

Try soaking your hair in a mixture of water and baby lotion this should add moisture to dry frizzy hair. Rinse well with warm water or even lightly shampoo this should keep things under control

My hair is black, thick thick, curly and frizzy, it reaches below my shoulders. I’ve tried colour streaks 5 years ago, I have not tried any treatments for my hair yet. Unfortunately my hair grows very slowly and it’s two or three years before it really looks long (because of the curls); right now it looks puffy and frizzy, though I use appropriate lotions. I have a medium forehead. Lately I am experiencing a lot of dandruff and hair loss problem. I am planning to go for straightening of my hair. Please advice.

If you are experiencing a lot of hair loss, please wait before having a straightening cream applied. Go visit a good quality salon for a professional consultation first so they can asses your scalp and hair.

It is not unusual to find "A lot "of hair coming out, you typically loose 100 hairs a day and this can seem quite allot when you have long hair.

As your hair grows slowly then it may be coming to the end of its life cycle which may explain the slow growth and loss.

As stated above, please visit a good quality salon, (go to a few for the consultation and choose the one that you feel most comfortable with and gives the best advice).

There is a great guy I know in USA called Nelson Chan who has a salon in Hollywood. See if you can visit his site for advice.

Good luck

I have got very bad frizz in my hair it actually developed after my use of Isotretinoin for 8 months for acne cure. I regularly use a good shampoo and a conditioner for dry frizzy hair but it isn’t helping me much. No hairstyle is visible in my hair due to this frizz. Could you please tell me some product that is the ultimate to take care of frizz!

Every other week add a little drop of baby oil into a warm bath. Bathe for a while and soak your whole hair in the water. Do not rinse out. When you get out the bath, towel dry your body and hair and comb through leave to dry naturally. This at first will feel strange because you will be left with a residue all over especially your hair and you may not feel clean, however this will add moisture not only too your now frizzy hair but also your body. Do this for about a month.

I have naturally blonde red hair which is unusually fine and not very thick. It is poker straight and sits flat even after blow drying with volume boosters and using straighteners at the roots to provide lift - also wind moisture etc totally flattens it out again. I use to have a great hair stylist who managed to cut a shape into my hair which meant it didn’t flatten within two hours (it lasted all day even in poor weather) and still held its shape when I went for my next eight week cut - however this stylist left the salon and they won’t tell me where she went! I have tried to explain to at least six different stylists at various country wide salons who charge a lot for a cut (which I am happy to pay if I get a good cut) that my hair needs shape cutting in - what term should I use. My old stylist use to "thin" my hair which gave more ummph - when I tell them this they use those texurising scissors on the layer ends which just makes it flyaway and this doesn’t give any lift or volume. Also after two weeks it’s sitting flat to my head again! Could you please tell me what technique I should be asking for - as the "senior" stylists I have come across appear to have a total lack of understanding/knowledge on how to cut my type of hair - I can’t believe I’m the only one! My hair use to be jaw length and cut up into the back to provide bulk and we would alter the longish fringe to the side depending on the mood and or define layers around the face - as styles changed. I am getting really desperate as I am a 43 yr old who can not afford to look like a drowned rat or disaffected teenager! Please help!!

I wish I could tell you that this was the first time I have heard this, but it could not be further from the truth.

Under no circumstances let a stylist attack your hair with texturising/thinning shears, it will make your hair FLAT and FRIZZY.

You will definitely get the best results with a soft razoring technique "internal diffusion" which gives you soft supporting volume to prolong the volume and lift you need.

In all my years this is the only technique that truly works.

Please ensure you use a very experienced stylist competent in this technique, as in the wrong hands it will result in your hair been thinner and flatter.

Good luck

What can I do for my frizzy hair? I’m really desperate about it?

Frizzy hair can be a real pain.

It all comes down to your hairs natural texture and your styling regime.

Please let me know what your hair style is like and how you go about styling your hair.

My hair is naturally curly and frizzy I straighten it every day and it can take me up to 45 mins as my hair is very thick but it never looks sleek. Also when I am on holiday and in and out the pool I never know what to do with it as it just looks a big frizzy mess and looks as though I have just got out of bed. Can you suggest anything that may help?

When straightening hair try taking smaller sections to help smooth out easier, also there is a process called the Brazillian blow-dry this blow-dry will help to eliminate frizz and smooth really well for about 3 months it is fairly new an can at the moment only be found in a few London salons good luck

I have 2 boys who will be starting school soon. They shower at night, and wake up with some serious ’bed head’ in the morning. Can you recommend a spray product that I can use to help tame their hair in the morning? Something that tames the hair, but does not leave a heavy residue would be ideal.

You need a spritz that dampens the hair without dehydrating the hair, which can then cause the hair to just frizz - I’d suggest using the Fudge 1+ as it’s a great unisex product that I’m sure you’re boys will love the smell of too. Just spritz the hair until its damp, then style and leave to dry naturally.

I have average curly hair but it is straight at the roots and gets curlier gradually. I had layers but they are growing out now and my hair is pretty thick. I was thinking of getting it relayered and maybe getting straight bangs but am anxious about the outcome. My hair is also pretty frizzy unless I use some sort of defrizzer.

Not sure what to do!

You should definitely have layers put back in as this will help reduce the thickness of your hair, and I would also invest in some high quality leave in conditioner to help with the frizziness.

As far as having a bang/fringe cut in, be aware that this could make your hair even more curly and difficult to straighten.

The son of a hair stylist told me that if you consistently get professional blowouts every month or so, your hair will start becoming naturally straight after a while. This seems highly implausible, but is this true to some degree?

I am afraid this is completely untrue. We do however have an amazing treatment called Keratin Complex which is being labeled "the three month blow dry". It helps smooth out 95% of frizz and makes it easy to blow dry and helps your hair to stay smoother for longer. You would need to book a complimentary consultation at our salons first and then you can join the revolution!

My hair is natural curly, with volume (really a lot of hair), frizzy, is thick and get dehydrates easily, is not so long just medium. My face is oval, I am short and skinny. What hair style should I get? What products are good for my type of hair? I usually use Potion 9-Sebastian. Thanks very much, I really need help!

Potion 9 from Sebastian is a great product, but I need to understand what style you are after.

If your hair is curly and you like to wear it this way then potion 9 on its own will not create what you are after.

Given that your hair is naturally curly I would have a weave cut throughout your head to allow the natural movement to cascade more freely which will help stop the "Big Hair" situation that happens as this opens spaces within your hair to allow more control. I would recommend L`Oreal Professional Tech-ni art cream curl products to help tame and control your hair.

Apply this with your fingers and comb through when wet, then allow to dry naturally keeping your curl in control, this will allow you to play with the style when dry without making it frizzy.
