What’s the best way to beat the signs of ageing?
“Avoid the build-up of dead skin cells on the scalp,” says celebrity stylist Lee Stafford. “These cause hair to appear lifeless. Use a three-step regime of shampoo, treatment and conditioner every other day. And for best results, exfoliate twice a week.”
What’s the best anti- ageing hair product?
A favourite among our experts is the Kérastase Age Premium collection, which claims to combat the signs of ageing by protecting and reinforcing the hair and hydrating the scalp.

How can I make my dull hair shine? “Hair shines if the cuticle is flat,” says Richard Ward. “Use a natural bristle brush to condition the cuticle.”
