Celebrity hairdresser Richard Ward shares his top five tips for hair that looks dull, dry, and damaged after the party season.
Deep Clean Hair
Treating hair with a deep cleanse after the party season is important to rid the scalp of excessive products that can build up over time. Try using a detoxifying shampoo like my Seasons Foaming Clarity Pre Cleanse (£23), which nourishes the scalp and leaves it squeaky clean.
Careful brushing
For hair prone to breakage, I recommend using the Tangle Angel (£14.99). This detangling brush not only looks beautiful, but it’s perfect for gently teasing away knots and tangles, leaving hair soft, smooth, and static-free!
Healthy Diet
We all know that excessive partying can damage hair, so a good diet is crucial to keeping it looking its best. A great tip is to snack on blood-producing foods like nuts, seeds, and dark berries, which help to encourage a good blood supply to the hair follicle, leaving locks glossy and healthy.
Weekly Hair Masque
Whether it’s blow-drying, straightening, or curling, the party season often means an increase in electrical styling. To combat the stress you’ve put your hair through, treat your hair to a twice-weekly hair masque during January. Simply apply to damp hair and leave for 15 minutes for instantly nourished, repaired, and shiny hair.
Visit your Hairdresser
Beautiful hair starts with a great base, so remember to visit your hairdresser every 6-8 weeks for a trim to keep tresses in tip-top condition. Hair left longer than 12 weeks can look dry and scraggly with no style definition.
