• Always choose a shampoo that will benefit your hair type.
  Oily hair can be washed most days using a mild shampoo, remember your hair is never really dirty, so a little shampoo once is all that’s needed, also if you have dry ends from colour treatments a small amount of conditioner helps to smoothen the hair shaft.
• Dry hair can be washed less frequently, so as to help the natural oils come back into your hair. Surface conditioners that help to smoothen the cuticles on the hair shaft can be used, and these can be used at every wash.
  Hair conditioning treatments are more intensive and should be used once a month when you have some free time as these are left in longer and penetrate deeper into the hair.
• If you have hair that gets tangled easily apply conditioner and comb through before rinsing. Afterwards, pat dry and comb through from the bottom up.
• Conditioners or treatments cannot cure dry or split ends so a good trim is necessary.
• Hair grows approximately half an inch a month so one inch cut off is one month of growth.
• Excessive use of gels, mousse, waxes and hairsprays can cause a build-up on the hair shaft so a shampoo that removes this should be used at least once a month.
• Your hair tones, for example, tinting or highlighting should vary with the seasons.
  In summer time colour changes can be brighter, so when the winter comes you can tone your hair down a few shades.
• Hairbrushes that have melted or damaged teeth cause split ends.

Brushing Up On Dandruff Facts
Dandruff is a persistent scalp condition in which dead skin cells on the head shed excessively, looking like small, white flakes. Stress, illness, hormonal fluctuations can contribute to the development and worsening of dandruff.

Medicated dandruff shampoos are widely available which help to remove the dead cells. I would recommend you brush your scalp first to loosen any flakes or dead skin.
