We’ve teamed up with Ivan Iovlev , Salon Manager / Creative Director of ColourNation to inject some life back into your tired and worn out hair. Here are a few tips to add a bit of life to those limp old locks!!
So we know that the less heat and styling we can do to our hair the better! Letting your hair dry naturally will reduce split end and breakage. However, there are times that only a blow dry will suffice. This adds shine, volume and luster to the hair. Before styling add a small amount of serum or oil such as Wella SP Luxe oil to the hair, comb through to distribute the product evenly and blow dry through with a medium heat and good quality brush. If any burning takes place it will be the oil burning off the hair and not the actual hair itself!!
Healthy scalp means healthy hair!! We’re all obsessed with having glorious unblemished skin and will apply copious amounts of product in order to achieve this. Well surprise surprise, the same goes for the scalp. If the scalp is in great condition, then it follows the hair will look great too. Wella SP produce a product called Alha Energy. This is a hair and scalp energiser. It contains caffeine which we now know is great for the hair and scalp. It evens out the moisture balance in the scalp and also helps improve blood circulation to the area. You will see fuller bouncier hair at every flick of the head.
Age obviously takes its’ toll over the years and as we get older we will usually encounter dryness and frizz regardless of how careful we are when dealing with our hair. Salon treatments can combat this as they can be cocktailed with other treatments this giving the best result for your individual hair type. Treat yourself to a luxurious in salon Wella SP repair mask. When heat is added the result will transform your dry unmanageable lcks into a flowing mane of loveliness that everyone will be admiring!!
It cannot be denied, a good cut will 9 times out of 10 revive tired hair. If your stylist is worth their weight, they will take into account your face shape, hair condition and lifestyle limitations before they get cutting to ensure the end result is precisely what is needed.
Hide grey roots. Yes.. it’s true, white hair is by it’s very nature age defining. So when those roots start to show, cover up with WOW hair mascara. You can buy yourself extra time between root applications jus by smudging over the root area with the product and blending t thru. Tell noone and it can just be our little secret.
There was a rumour that when Prima Ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn finally removed her high top bun, her face fell to her knees and her chin was on the floor!! Well guess what, hi ponytails and buns can give an instant mini face lift. Pull all the hair up to the crown area, secure with a covered band and hey presto.. a bang on trend ponytail that will slightly lift the forehead!! Can’t be bad.
Finally… when it comes to youthful looks, one word stands out from the crowd. Body!! Great shampoos and styling products will give the hair fantastic volume during the blow dry process. Once dried, tip the head upside down and give a bladt of hair spray into the root area. This will give hold where you require hold.. and win’t give you sticky unmoveable ends. For an extra boost blast a drier through the roots to give you that extra boost and away you go!!
