How-to Combat Your Hair's 5 Biggest Woes

As a Salon, Fashion Week, & Editorial Stylist with over 18+ years experience, Cutler/  Redken Stylist Jenny Balding shares exclusive tips that can overcome the five most common hair issues: 

1: Lack of Volume

 

Lack of volume could be caused by a variety of reasons but most common is using the wrong shampoo/ conditioner for your hair type, followed by using conditioner all over instead of just the mid-length to ends.  It’s an easy problem to fix and makes a huge difference – talk to your stylist about the best regimen for your hair.

2: Damage Control

 

An easy way to prevent damage is being gentle when detangling your wet hair.  Use a large toothed comb or a brush designed to detangle wet hair as wet hair is very fragile and most damage can be created at this point.

3: Dulling Hair 

 

Product buildup can cause dull hair when a lot of product is used constantly overtime.  Make sure to use a clarifying shampoo once a week to rid of buildup and this will bring back life into your color and bounce back into your hair.

4: Constant Split Ends

 

Even if you love to keep your hair really long, make sure you are having it trimmed every 8-12 weeks as this will really help to keep it in healthy condition as dry, damaged ends split, and travel further up the hair shaft if you don't remove them.

5: Straight Up, Healthy Hair

 

How can you make your hair more lustrous, thick and healthy?  It really makes such a difference if you eat a healthy balanced diet, drink plenty of water and take a multivitamin each day.  Like your skin, your hair represents what you put into your body.
