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

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’m 48yrs old and my hair has been falling out for over 27 years now accompanied with a terrible scalp itch. I am not bald or have any bald patches showing but my hair is thinning rather fast and this itch is with me all the time it gets worse when its warm, any advice would be much appreciated.

As we get older, unfortunately we will suffer from thinning hair and while normally I would recommend volume enhancing products and styling tips. I would suggest you pop down to your GP and check up on the irritation you mention.

I have used permanent colour for years - light ash brown - and have had occasional salon highlights. I have started to grow my hair out now; it’s a dark blonde with some grey. The previously coloured hair looks a bit brassy now as the colour fades. Could I use a home semi- permanent colour to tone and even it out as it grows? I have a lightly layered shoulder length bob. I try to take good care of my hair, but at 60 it has been through the mill! I chose you as my ’expert’ because I always wanted to tell you how good and reasonably priced your products are. They do what they say on the bottle and smell divine! Thank you for making such luxury affordable.

Thanks Chris, I really enjoyed your email - I love getting feedback about my hair care range, really pleased to hear you like it! It sounds to me like you want to go back to your natural colour, which is why I would try and stay away from even adding a semi-permanent colour to your roots. As you have high lights and quite ashy blonde hair I would recommend using my Poker Straight Dry Shampoo. This product is a light-coloured powder spray that can help to knock out the appearance of re-growth temporarily. This season’s trend of head/alice bands are another great way of covering the dreaded root area. Head bands are a fantastic way to get full on sophistication and glamour with very little effort. It’s a super feminine look that requires full locks and a lot of lift at the root. A variation of the 1860’s Bardot look, head bands can be used to create big hair and big sex appeal! The band acts to create the illusion of fullness at the roots pushing hair back away from the face, making the hair kick out from underneath. Headbands will automatically transform your look from plain Jane to va va voom volume!

Chris, I’ve come up with a great tip for creating a frizz free voluminous, high glamour look, which will draw attention away from any root regrowth. First off, put your locks in big velcro rollers when it is dry. Blast your hair all over with a hot hair dryer and leave in for twenty mins. Give your hair a fine mist of hairspray all over; try Hold Tight. When that has dried remove the curlers and brush it out using a product like Messed Up Spray Wax which stops your hair from frizzing and gives it a slightly messy look. You can also use Poker Straight Dehumidifier to stop fuzzy waves. To control flyaway hair, spray a comb with hairspray and run it through your hair or simply spray some Shine Head Shine Spray over your hair for the ultimate glass like effect. Then simply push the headband from the front of your hair to the back ensuring that it is set quite far back to open up your face and so it is less severe. Pull some strands out at the front to soften the look and to get that sex kitten flirtatious feel.

I have got a faux hawk mullet but I want to gel the sides of my hair so do I have the sides scissor cut? What styling product do I use I want it like Cristiano Ronaldo.

This can be cut using scissors or clippers and a wet look gel or a product called Fudge can help to create this look.

I have a couple of questions to ask as I can’t find reliable answers online. 1. I’ve heard that you can add mousse to the roots of dry hair to add volume, will this make the hair greasy? If not, what’s the best way to use it? 2. Is texturing spray the same sort of thing as ’sea salt spray’? If not, what is it? 3. I have naturally curly hair (the curls are not too tight but they do ringlet) & I have GHD sea salt spray. Will this help add a thickness to my hair? and if so, what’s the best way for me to use this product to create thick, curls?

Ok firstly applying mousse to dry hair can make the hair at the roots greasy so I would apply it to damp towel dried hair.

Texturising spay and sea salt sprays are very similar. They both will create a textured casual look and the best way to apply it is the same as above but try to let the hair dry as naturally as possible.

I have naturally wavy hair. It’s not frizzy. I’ve never had a problem with frizz, which is what many people recommend satin or silk pillowcases for. Satin pillowcases seem to make my waves disappear. What is the best kind of pillowcase to keep the waves in my hair while I sleep?

I hate having to shampoo it every day to revive the waves.

Always use curl and body enhancing products.

I have thinning hair and would like to get a perm to make it look thicker is that ok or a No No!

This is all very well but please try some thickening styling products before you have it permed to really see if you need to actually have it permed to create this kind of thickness.
