Use a richer conditioner

Apply a nourishing mask once a week

Turn down the heat on showers and styling tools

Choose silk or satin-lined hats to reduce frizz

Give your scalp a little extra care

Book a trim to remove tired summer ends

Refresh your colour with warmer, glossier tones

Greasy roots by lunchtime? Try these hair-saving tricks👇

You know the story: freshly washed hair in the morning, oily roots by the afternoon. Before you reach for the shampoo again, try these simple changes.

Rethink your washing routine
Over-washing can leave your scalp feeling stripped. Try spacing out washes and choosing a gentle, balancing shampoo.

Wash strategically
Focus shampoo on your roots, where oil builds up, and keep conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends.

Clear the build-up
Styling products, oils and dry shampoo can accumulate over time. Add a clarifying shampoo to your routine occasionally for a fresh start.

Hands off!
Constantly touching and brushing your hair can spread oils through your lengths. And don’t forget to regularly switch out your pillowcase.

Use dry shampoo before you need it
Try applying dry shampoo before bed rather than waiting for greasy roots to appear. It can absorb excess oil overnight, so you wake up with fresher, fuller-looking hair.

Bored of your fringe? Try these three easy styling tricks

A fringe can completely transform your hair—but wearing it the same way every day can get a little predictable.

Before you start growing it out, switch things up:

Go sleek — Blow-dry from side to side for a smooth, polished finish.

Try curtains — Part a longer fringe in the middle and sweep it away from your face for that effortless, face-framing look. Channel your inner Sabrina Carpenter.

Embrace your texture — Got waves or curls? Put down the straighteners and let your fringe follow its natural movement.

One fringe, three completely different looks. Which are you trying first?

The back-to-school is officially a thing…

Forget January — is the month that really makes us want a fresh start.

After a summer of sunshine, heatwaves, holidays and swimming, your hair might be ready for one too. Think dry ends, faded colour and grown-out layers that could do with a little love.

And while the kids are heading back to school, why should they get all the new-term excitement?

A trim, fresh layers or some subtle face-framing can instantly revive tired summer hair. Or, if you’ve been contemplating that bob, fringe or bigger chop, consider this your sign.

The best new-season haircut? One that works with your natural texture, suits your lifestyle and doesn’t require 45 minutes of styling before you’ve even had coffee.

Plus, an hour of uninterrupted peace, a head massage and a professional blow-dry? We’ll take that as part of the September reset.

Faster hair growth👇

Longer, stronger, healthier-looking hair: it’s the beauty goal that never really goes out of style.

And while our feeds might be filled with miracle oils, scalp serums and supplements promising inches overnight, the reality of hair growth is a little less dramatic — but thankfully, much easier to navigate.

It all starts at the scalp
Consider scalp care the skincare of the hair world. Keeping your scalp clean, balanced and free from excessive product build-up can help create a healthy environment for your hair. Adding a gentle scalp massage to your wash-day ritual? Even better.

Protect those precious lengths
Here’s the catch: sometimes the secret to “faster” hair growth is simply holding onto the hair you already have. Heat styling, aggressive brushing, chemical treatments and ultra-tight hairstyles can all contribute to breakage, leaving your ends playing catch-up.
