4. USE LUKEWARM WATER FOR HAIR RINSING If you already have a dry scalp or dry hair, steer clear of using very hot water in the shower. Especially for fine hair which can be quite delicate. Opt for lukewarm water for rinsing instead. Heat opens the cuticle (or surface layer) which can cause damage to already weak hair. Cooler water means the cuticle stays put giving a shinier appearance.
Best product for a smoother cuticle: Davines Love/hair smoother - Leave-on cream to smooth frizzy, unruly or wavy hair. The formula moisturizes in an invisible way without weighing it down. The hair is soft, easy to comb and shiny.
2. DOUBLE SHAMPOO - EXTRA TIME BETWEEN WASHES If you're daily shampooing, it's maybe time to stop. Less frequent hair cleansing leads to a healthier scalp and healthier hair. Daily hair washing means that its natural protective barrier is removed too quickly, which causes an excessive strain on both the strands and the scalps oil production.
Shampooing only 3 days a week is the goal. Leaving the hair that long sometimes means that it's harder to create a lather. If that's the case, do a preliminary shampoo to remove most of the oil and dirt. Then a second shampoo, with much less product, will ensure that a good lather and thorough cleanse are achieved. Better still book in and let your stylist do the rest!
Best product for double shampoos: Davines Nounou shampoo especially for bleached, permed or relaxed hair. The rich formula gently cleanses treated hair, giving it deep nourishment, hydration and restoring its natural softness.
5. DETANGLE YOUR HAIR GENTLY Detangling hair should be a slow and gentle process using the right tool. If the tool that you're using isn't smooth and scratches the back of your hand, it's time to upgrade it. If you're detangling wet hair in the shower, make sure that conditioner is applied to the lengths and ends to add extra slip. For very tangled hair, start with the end few inches and work your way up the hair.
Best product for smoother detangling: Seek professional advice on the right comb or brush for your hair has for example extra wide teeth for less tugging. Great addition to your spring hair care routine and to use all year round.
6. USE HEATLESS DRYING TECHNIQUES Hair that has become dry and brittle in the winter months will benefit from a break from blow-drying. Heated styling compromises the cuticle and over drying leads to moisture loss in both the scalp and the strands. Take advantage of the weather as it warms up and naturally air dry your hair wherever possible.
Best product for heatless drying: Microfibre towels which are super absorbent.
7. USE PROTECTION FROM THE HEAT Air drying not your thing? Luckily there are hair products that offer protection from the damaging heat of hairdryers. Creating a barrier between the cuticle and the hot air.
Best product for heat protection: Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze Brightening thermal leave-on fluid for blondes. Provides hydration, shine, and heat protection, it gives elasticity and vigour to the hair fibre, helping to extend the duration of the blow-dry.

3. UPPING PROTEINS AND VITAMINS Increased hair loss can be more common during spring, often due to a vitamin deficiency. An increase of your intake of B vitamins, zinc, copper, vitamin C and protein can help. If the hair loss feels excessive, it's worth investigating bigger issues that include hormonal imbalances, diet, air or water quality and stress. Protein and vitamins can be applied topically to the hair, too, as part of your spring hair care routine.
Best product for topical protein and vitamins: using treatment conditioner as a weekly hair mask will allow time for strengthen- ing ingredients to get deep into the hair strands.
So, there you have it – no need to hide hair under a hat this Spring. Have a Great Easter Everyone.
