Last 5 Questions asked • I tried to dye my hair from delicate iced chocolate to radiant red and it has managed to go red at the top (which I am guessing is my original blonde coming through) can you give any advice on how I can get it a little more even? I originally wanted to go for a bright red but was aware that takes some prep. • I tried to dye my hair from dark brown to blonde but it went yellow/orange so I put another blonde dye on and its gone blonde/grey/greenish on the roots I don’t know what to do to get it to a light brown colour or blonde. • My toddler girl has curly hair only in the back the rest is straight. I love it but how do you think this happened and how can I keep it this way? Do you think I did it by accident somehow by laying on her back while asleep or is it how I dry it or just her hair! • I have very thick, curly hair that is frizzy and dry. You name it I have had it done in my battle to fight the frizz, chemical straightening, perming, Kerastraight etc - I have had it long and short, highlighted and my natural colour. I usually control the curls with a High Street mousse and it normally takes me an hour to wash mousse and part dry. I am now 42 and the grey hairs are appearing, I am also FED up with the hassle of styling, the itchy feeling mousse gives me and the time it takes - I don’t want to be doing this in my 50s! I am thinking of going back to short, with highlights and finding one of the hundreds of products out there that would be more suitable than mousse. Please can you suggest a style and product and should I have another Kera-Straight when I have it short - HELP! • I have 2 completely different hair types the front portion is straight/wavy while the back portion is really frizzy curls/afro texture. I am unsure of how to style my hair. I don’t want to use heat or chemical treatments such as relaxers. Can you tell me a way that I could style my hair? 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. New luxury product Orofluido Oil contains Cyperus Oil and a number of natural, exotic oils making Orofluido the ultimate conditioning hair product. With just a few drops, blow-drying time can be cut by up to 20% and hair will be restored with a luminous shine and lustre that Cleopatra herself would be proud of. http://www.ukhairdressers.com/store/details.asp?ID=OrofluidoHairOil Question My hair is so fine and when I am blow waving it, it tangles easily? 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.

Answer Unfortunately there is little you can do for this problem, HOWEVER, this is very common and a good sign of health after pregnancy. New hair is usually found on hair lines or crowns and a soft wax or serum can help to disguise unruly flyaway strands. http://www.ukhairdressers.com/store/search.asp?search=PC%BF70&text1=Styling Products Question I love my red hair, how can I keep the colour bright in between going to the Salon.

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 |
