The legendary stylist shares some words of wisdom.
- Make the most of the selection on the shelves; ask your hairdresser for recommendations.
- The best hairspray should come out in a fine mist. Spray it on your brush for even distribution through strands.
- Hair today is all about individuality. It should always look as if you might have done it yourself.
- Colour is the new style, especially now that you can change your colour more often without damage; you don’t have to bleach it to get it back.
- When my baggage recently got lost, my improvised kit contained a Mason Pearson hairbrush, Pantene Pro-V Classic Hairspray and bobby pins. You can smooth hair down, or brush it out to make it big.
- Volume now is natural and touchable. Wash less or try products like Psssssst… or Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder to pump up the roots.
- Tap water can be very damaging to hair. The pH balance can be like perm solution. Showerhead water filters are amazing.
- Ionic hair dryers and irons are fantastic. I prefer Ghd and Babyliss.
