Longer, stronger HEALTHIER!

The hairdressing world loves a rule. It’s spring, so you’ll be lightening up your hair shade, they say. You’ve crossed into midlife territory, so you’ll be getting a bob, they say.

FOR GROWTH

TRY SKINCARE FOR HAIR

Truly effective growth potions continue to elude us (I’ll be the first to shout about it and buy shares, when the day comes) but you can give your hair its best chance of growth with a skincare-like approach.

Aim to wash your hair like you cleanse your face, thoroughly but without harsh detergents. Charles Worthington Healthy Balance, £6.99, clarifies build-up without stealing natural moisture. Next, hydrate with clever overnight treatments that do their thing faff-free while you sleep and somehow stay off your pillow too. Kérastase Nutritive 8hr Magic Night Serum, £36, smooths, stops friction and smells like pure luxury.
