• I have mid back length, straight hair. My roots are white/grey and are touched up every 4 weeks, these are pre softened to take on the colour. I would like texture in my hair and was thinking about a soft perm for a tousled look. In a fashion magazine it suggested a square layered soft perm which is put through the mid length down leaving the roots but my hairdresser said I cannot perm my hair because it has been coloured too much. Is there anything that can be done to allow the soft curl to happen? • My afro Caribbean hair will not relax, I have used most recommended products on the market and they leave the hair in a non straightened state. The natural curl of the hair is loosened but not straight. Help me I do not know what to do. I have tried dark and lovely, Revlon realistic, motions tcb soft and beautiful botanicals, optimum, sunsilk, olive oil just about all of them, what can I do or which relaxer can I use that will actually straighten my hair as promised. • I recently changed to a cheaper hairdresser and am having problems. I have dark brown hair which has been highlighted with blonde/brown. I recently changed to a cheaper hairdresser. My old hairdresser used Loreal platinum on my hair which she said was much kinder as no bleach (which I wasn’t sure was true), but my new hairdresser uses 20 volume bleach. My hair feels really dry now, is it a result of the bleach and would I be better going back to the platinum? • 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. • I have really natural blonde hair and I want to use a spray or dye to semi dye it brown. I once had this spray which washed out in the rain and I can’t remember what it was. I wondered if you had any products which I could use to dye it semi and would it wash out. 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. |
