You’ll never have to step out of the house with a bad-hair-day situation again! Here’s everything you need to know – and remember – about your precious mane:

• Use products that suit your hair type. If you’re not sure what to use, ask your hairdresser for advice. It’ll save money and frustration in the long run.
• Wash and condition your hair well – it will be easier to style and the style will hold for longer.
• Wash and treat your hair the day before a special event. Hairdressers agree that hair is more manageable the day after it’s washed, especially if you’re taking it up.
• Always rinse your hair well after conditioning. Unless the product has ‘Leave-in’ on the bottle, it should be rinsed out well. Your hair will look cleaner and stay manageable for longer.
• The same goes for styling products. They’re for styling hair and not for treating your scalp.
• Always rub styling products onto your hands before you apply them to your hair and use a tiny bit; you can always add more. Start the application from mid-length down, not from the point closest to your scalp.
• If all else fails, wear a hat or slick your hair back into a low ponytail and twist into a bun. Then forget about it all day!
