Anyone Need Hair Help????

hello!
erm, i have the most boring ever straight hair, the sort that no matter how much hairspray you apply, the curls still fall out within and hour or two and my hairdresser suggested getting it permed loosely... is this a good idea?
thankyouuuuuu in advance

Hello, I'm 15 and i'm getting my haircut on friday. My hair style is usually a fringe to the side and a side parting. I have brown, thick hair; on friday I was thinking to keep the same sort of style but have it quite abit shorter on the side than usual but still with a fair bit on the top (still a bit shorter than normal).
What do you think?
Thanks

Hello Scott

I have quite wavy, if not curly hair, and it is very dry. It was okay although hard to style but since I dip dyed my hair in a lighter shade it became very dry and thin. It brakes a lot and does not maintain the curl any more. I do not blow dry it or use any heat stylers as well as use shampoo for dry hair and rinse it with vinegar. Would be nice to know what would you say is best to help it look good. Thank you

Hi There,

It needs hydration, so I would recommend you get Lee Stafford's Hair Growth Treatment from Boots which should put some moisture back into the ends and prevent the breaking.

Also, if you don't already use one invest in a Tangle Teezer and use this to comb your hair out when wet, this will stop the breaking.

Another tip (to help your hair whilst it's recovering) would be to roller set it from wet and leave to dry. This will create soft curls and waves in your hair but without the need to use any heat. Combine this with the treatment and using the Tangle Teezer and you should find the hair begins returning to normal and still looking good.

Cheers

Hi Ryan,

I think I missed my reply before your hair appointment friday, but I think your idea of a short back and sides cut (with side parting) is good. This is a very contemporary look for guys so I hope you want with it. I think if you leave the hair longer at the front you can also quiff it if you fancy a change which gives the style a bit of flexibility.

Regards

Hi Scott!

I'm a 31 year old female and have very fine hair and not a vast amount of it unfortunately! I was wondering if there are any products/supplements/techniques you can recommend to encourage it to grow thicker, appear thicker or just grow more of it??!

Cheers! x

Hi Everyone,

As you know I give hair advice and try as best as I can to come on here and answer your questions. However, quite often I miss many of your questions because five get posted at once and I only see the first and last!

I'm trying to build a hair resouce on my website which will hold a wealth of information which people can just go onto and receive the answer they want.
Therefore (if you wouldn't mind helping me) I wondered if you could put your hair questions to me in this thread and I will a) answer them and b) use them on my site so you have access to them in the future.

The categories I'd really like questions on are:-

Style (cuts, home styling, perming, straightening etc)
Colour (all issues colour related)
Mens (Guys please send me anything grooming related and I'll help)

And anything else you can think of!

Again - sorry if I miss any of your questions - but hopefully if we can try and contain them within one thread I will have more chance finding them again.

Also - remember to join me on Facebook at 'Scott Cornwall Hair Expert' and on Twitter as I post updates and links to hair regularly on here too!

Kind Regards

Scott

Hi Swish, It's so difficult to recommend a product to make hair grow thicker because it could be genetic as to where you hair is fine and it may not be capable of altering. I used to find Collagen Sachet supplements gave good hair growth in my clients, but it's always trial and error and would take you a few months to see the results. Cod Liver oil capsules also help.

If you want the hair to appear thicker I'd tell you to keep layering to a minum and try to work with a bob structure (if shorter). I find too many layers in fine hair reduce it's body completely. Hairstylists always want to layer it up but I just think it reduces weight. Less layering enables a better shape and fullness.

What shade are you? A block hair colour is really unforgiving on fine hair as it displays the scalp (especially in darker colours). Having a few multi tones running through it creates depth and gives the perception of texture.

Also, nobody ever thinks of this - but try setting your hair on large volume rollers from very wet using a volumizing mousse. Then if you get yourself a hood dryer from Argos it will blast hair into the hair and root as you sit under it. When you remove the rollers the hair will look full and healthy. If you then use Batiste XXL Volume in between washes it will keep the set in place.

Try to reduce use of conditioner or restrict to just the ends, this can cause the hair to look flat and lank. Always use a volumizing shampoo.

I hope this has helped in some way.

Regards

Scott
