YOUR NEW REGIME 

Haircare is the new skincare - so tailor your routine.

Cleanse

Using the right shampoo is the first and most important step in haircare. It's common for hair to thin with age so inject body with Monday Haircare Volume Shampoo, £5, Boots. If you suffer from flakes, try Head & Shoulders Bare Soothing Hydration Shampoo, £9.99, Boots. It has a minimal, stripped-back formulation that targets dandruff without damaging the scalp.

Scrub

Not just for your face, formulas such as Arkive The Crown Scalp Scrub, £14, Boots, help exfoliate the scalp and prevent irritation. Or try a chemical exfoliator, which can treat flaky skin and remove build-up on the hair. The Inkey List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Scrub, £13.99, theinkeylist.com, combines gritty texture with intensive acids, leaving your head clean and clear.

Tone

Toners help to correct colour, especially if you dye your hair. To reverse brassiness, use blues and violets. Color Wow Color Control Toning & Styling Foam, £19.50, colorwowhair.com, comes in a violet for blondes and blue for brunettes. Matrix Total Results Dark Envy Neutralising Green Shampoo, £14.50, lookfantastic.com knocks out the red tones in deep brunette hair.

Serum

Take haircare to the next level. L'Oréal Elvive Hydra Hyaluronic 2% Serum, £12.99, Boots, will plump locks, while Kérastase Nutritive Nutri-Supplement Split Ends Serum, £41.22, lookfantastic.com, replenishes broken ends for two times fewer split ends.
