Ever notice how your hair looks and feels amazing when you leave the salon\u2026 then, a couple of weeks later, it just doesn\u2019t seem to behave the same?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well\u2026 it isn\u2019t because your stylist has some secret technique that only works in the salon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s usually down to a few simple things,\u201d says\u00a0Frankie. \u201cHealthy hair, the right products and a few good habits at home can make a huge difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some easy ways to keep your hair looking its best between appointments\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest difference isn\u2019t the blow-dry. It\u2019s the condition of your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Healthy hair is much easier to style. That\u2019s why regular trims are so important, as they stop split ends travelling further up the hair. Professional colour services and conditioning treatments help keep your hair looking smoother, shinier and much easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf your hair is healthy, it naturally behaves better,\u201d explains\u00a0Frankie. \u201cThat\u2019s why keeping up with your appointments is just as important as what you do at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can be tempting to grab whatever shampoo is on offer at the supermarket, but not all products are created equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salon-quality shampoos and conditioners are designed to protect your colour, lock in moisture and keep your hair healthier for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you regularly use dry shampoo or styling products, try shampooing twice. The first wash removes product build-up, while the second gives your hair and scalp a thorough cleanse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And don\u2019t assume that using more product means better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUsing twice as much shampoo doesn\u2019t give you twice the results,\u201d says\u00a0Frankie. \u201cThe right product, used correctly, will always work better than lots of the wrong one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you use heated styling tools, don\u2019t forget to apply a heat protector first. Applying a pea size amount of Kerastase Nectar Thermique\u00a0only takes a few seconds but can help prevent damage every time you style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t need a complicated routine to keep your hair healthy between visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, it\u2019s often the small everyday habits that make the biggest difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of rubbing your hair dry with a towel, gently squeeze out the excess water and blot it dry. And try not to go to bed with soaking wet hair, as it\u2019s more fragile when wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turning your straighteners down a notch, brushing gently from the ends upwards instead of pulling from the roots and giving your hair a break from tight ponytails can all help reduce damage over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your ends are feeling dry or your hair is becoming frizzy, a hair oil such as\u00a0Wella Ultimate Smooth Miracle oil serum\u00a0can help restore softness and keep everything looking smoother between appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA lot of clients think they need a whole new hair routine,\u201d says\u00a0Frankie. \u201cUsually, it\u2019s just one or two small tweaks that make the biggest difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s be honest\u2026 your stylist has a little more time than you do on a busy Tuesday morning \ud83d\ude09. So rather than chasing that fresh-from-the-salon finish every day, focus on keeping your hair healthy and easy to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One simple habit that makes a real difference is using a weekly treatment, especially if your hair is coloured, highlighted or regularly heat styled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A treatment like\u00a0Kerastase Masque Extentionise\u00a0helps top up moisture, strengthen your hair and keep it feeling softer for longer. Think of it as a weekly reset rather than waiting until your hair feels dry or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every head of hair is different, which is why there\u2019s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
