Drastic dye jobs? Ditch ’em. Chemical straighteners? Forget it. If you’re fighting the gifts Mother Nature gave you, it’s time to go back to your roots
The first rule of sculpting your dream body? Learn to work with what you got. There’s no point punishing yourself in pursuit of impossible goals. Same goes for your hair. “By trying to fix a so-called problem, you can sometimes exacerbate it,” explains Sally-Ann Tarver, a trichologist (fancy term for hair and scalp specialist). “Repeatedly straightening curly hair, for example, makes it drier and coarser, resulting in more of the frizz you’re trying to get rid of.” So we asked the pros for the biggest gripes – and insider tricks to solve them.
FINE HAIR

Scalp glinting through your strands would make anyone self-conscious. But according to regrowth treatment specialist Regaine, one in three women notice hair thinning or report hair loss after the age of 30. Yikes!
The quick-fix fail
What hair extensions give with one hand they take away with the other. They pull out hair at the roots, causing traction alopecia. And while you might think a ‘volumiser’ would add guts, adding too much can weigh down fine hair, leaving it flatter to the head.
