• 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? • 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. • I am at Hairdressing College and one of my work questions is why it important to consider natural colour skin tones when colouring hair? • If I use a 9 and 10.1 on a base 7 half and half with 20 vol what result would I get? • 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? More common FAQs QUESTION My hair is very fine, it seems to be getting worse and my scalp is beginning to show. I don't know if it is getting thinner or if I am losing my hair. I am getting quite paranoid about looking bald. Is there anything I can do to make my hair thicker or make my roots appear thicker so my scalp doesn't show through? I have to wash my hair every day, will this be making it worse? I have considered extensions but don't really want any high maintenance styling also I have heard they are expensive to have done! ANSWER If you don't colour your hair you might want to think about making it darker if it's on the light shade, being darker it will give the illusion of being thicker and the colour will give it more body. You might also like to consider a hair loss concealer such as DermMatch available in various shades. QUESTION I have mid-length fine hair and recently it has been getting really greasy. I wash my hair every morning as I suffer from really bad bed head. I have tried loads of different shampoos and refrain from using conditioner. I am becoming very conscious that people will notice the greasiness! What steps can I take to stop it getting so greasy? ANSWER A really simple and effective way of helping stop this is in your routine when washing your hair. On your final rinse (after rinsing out the shampoo) turn the water to cool or cold if you can stand it. This will help cool down your scalp. Ensure when you are washing your hair that you only apply a light massaging technique when shampooing as if you are too heavy at this stage it will only stimulate your sebaceous glands and promote more oil production. Lastly try using a spray in conditioner through the mid lengths and ends to avoid the conditioner coming into contact with your scalp. If you follow this then you should notice a reduction in the natural oil on your scalp keeping your hair easier to manage. QUESTION My hair is falling out like crazy! I straighten my hair 5 days a week, and for about a year and a half it has been fine. About a month ago, it started coming out when I brushed it, straightened it, showered, and it will not stop! What can I do, besides not straightening it? Is there even a solution? ANSWER Straightening your hair without the correct products is not going to help your hair condition but it certainly would not cause your hair to fall out! Are you under any stress at the moment? Generally speaking, your hair will only fall out excessively if you have had a shock or under any stress. Did you know that on average we lose about one hundred hairs a day?

ANSWER I do not think you would achieve the result that you want with the perm. Try using a volumising lotion before you dry your hair like Hair Volume Lotion by J F Lazartigue After drying try curling your hair with the straighteners, take approximately an square inch of hair, clip it with the irons and twist 180 degrees then gently slide the irons down slowly so you will create a strong curl, do not worry if its a bit to curly to start with as it would soften through the day. Alternatively after you done this you can pin your hair with Velcro rollers upwards, until its cool and then gently take them out, do not worry if your hair, again, is too curly as it would become softer, sometimes the lasting of curls in your hair could depend of the length and hair cut of it, try a few layers. QUESTION Why is my hair so greasy? Answer Firstly invest in a specific oily scalp shampoo and always wash your hair with luke warm water and not hot as this makes the scalp produce more oil. http://www.ukhairdressers.com/store/search.asp?search=Oily%20Hair%20Shampoo Also try having some colour through your hair because this tends to prevent your hair going greasy as quick. Highlights would probably be the best thing! Question Help I would love my dry and frizzy hair to be shiny and straight? Answer Hundreds of years ago, the great iconic figure of seduction and alluring beauty, Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra, used a precious essential oil called Cyperus which gave her silky, velvet like hair.

Answer Eliminate this problem at the conditioning stage. Apply conditioner and, before rinsing out, use a wide-toothed comb taking care not to tug at the hair as this causes it to break easily. When ready to sculpt and style, use a combination of serum and gel which will increase your hair’s manageability and give extra definition and shine.

Colour treatment, specially designed for coloured hair Question About 4 months ago I finished an intense 6 month chemotherapy treatment. Luckily I did not lose all of my hair but it did thin down. I have naturally curly hair but prior to having chemo I had it chemically straightened and coloured (this is before finding out about my cancer). Now my hair seems to be neither here or there. If I do not use styling mousses or leave-in conditioners it looks horrible, very frizzy and the top part is the new hair coming through and it looks wavy the bottom half is straight but looks very dry, when left out it is below shoulder length. I have tried numerous amounts of products recommended by hairdressers here in Australia, but none have helped. It is very depressing as prior to having the chemo my hair was extremely long (1/4 up from my backside) and plentiful. Any help that you can recommend will be greatly appreciated. Answer I am sorry to learn of your illness and subsequent problems with your hair. I have just set up a website called www.mynewhair.org which gives details of exactly what happens to your hair during and after chemo and explains what to expect. In your case you have been lucky not to lose all of your hair. Have a look at my website and I am sure you will find reassurance. May I suggest that in the short term you have your hair cut to perhaps bob length, treat it to lots of conditioning treatments, eat healthily and basically you will find in no time it will look and feel better. Good luck |
