Tips on colouring your hair at home

If you’re looking to achieve quality results at home, first, you need to select the right colouring kit, and preferably one that is easy to use, dries within around 15 minutes and gives good dense colouring, which will often last for up to 21 washes! That’s the sign of a quality product, so always check how many washes will the colour withstand. Although it’s true that you have to also allow for the usual ‘wear and tear’ and exposure to sunlight. We know how easy it is to be overwhelmed by the many hair colouring products that are on offer in your pharmacy, chemists, and supermarket so to find the right colour you should match your hair to the switch panels on the side of the box and do not go more than 2 shades lighter or darker.

If you’re looking to enhance your base colour and cover just a few greys then you’re best to choose non-permanent colouring. If you want longer lasting results then choose permanent but be sure to read all the Instructions before you start.

Keep your hair looking great during the winter

With the wet weather and damp air ruining your hair as soon as you step outside the door, many of us give up on keeping up appearances during the winter months.

Don’t let winter stop you from looking glamorous, simply take the time to care for your hair like it deserves. The cold weather can make our hair become dry and brittle, so make sure you condition your hair regularly and consider trying an overnight conditioner if you have extremely dry hair.

With the windy weather, our hair can be a mess in an instant. Grabbing a strong hold hair spray is worth the money, as it will keep your hair in place for your day out.

You may want to give your hair a rest from light colouring solutions, so try opting for a darker tone and allow your hair to recover over the winter. Darker tones look great during the cooler months and compliment many autumn and winter wear.

Maintaining your hairstyle when travelling

Travelling is about new experiences and for many people it’s a new way of life whereby you live rougher than you would back home and don’t have the luxuries of high-end hair products or even a haircut from your favourite individual. You have to find ways to maintain a hairstyle yourself, and if you’re a guy this is actually quite easy. The slick back look is strong right now, and many people opt for this look or man buns so that it’s easy to control on a daily basis. For women with long hair, you may want to consider a bun on top of your head. It’s not the best look but it will keep the hair out of your face and make it stay fresher for longer, whilst tired highlights can be hidden in the bun so you probably look better than you would with it down! Simple but effective.

Why the slicked back look takes time

The slicked back hairstyle for men is certainly popular again right now, however, it’s important to know that it can take some time to craft this style. As an example, you will need a good few inches of hair to be able to keep the weight down when you style the hair by combing back. If the hair is too short, it will simply stand up, whilst thicker hair will prove even more difficult to maintain. If you visit your barber once or twice a month over the course of 6 months, they can ensure you get neat and tidy sides without reducing the length of your hair on top. They can also thin your hair so it’s easy to style, but don’t go into the barber one day expecting to get this look in a flash. It takes time for the hair to grow, and you’ll need to train the hair to fall in place properly.
