Meet Lesley: Your New Hair Agony Aunt
Does your hair routine feel a little overwhelming? Between frizz, split ends, and a lack of luster, we all have those days where our hair just won’t cooperate.
That’s why we are so excited to introduce you to Lesley, our Global Head of Education and your official Hair Agony Aunt! With years of industry experience, Lesley’s mission is to simplify your routine and provide expert advice to help you tackle your biggest hair dilemmas.
To get things started, Lesley is sharing some of her "holy grail" tips for achieving salon-quality hair at home.
Lesley’s Top Tips for Incredible Hair
1. The Cold Rinse Secret
The secret to incredible shine might be simpler (and colder) than you think! After washing, finish your shower with a quick, cool rinse.
Why it works: The cold water helps seal the hair cuticle. This locks in moisture and leaves your hair with a smooth, light-reflecting shine.
2. A Clean Cut Saves Length
It sounds counter intuitive, but if you want long hair, you need to cut it!
Why it works: By removing the weakest parts of your hair regularly, you prevent breakage higher up. This keeps your hair looking thicker and healthier as it grows.
3. Intense Hydration with Masks
Standard conditioner is great for daily use, but for real results, you need to go deeper. Lesley recommends using a deep conditioning mask 1–3 times a week.
Why it works: Masks penetrate deeper than regular conditioners, delivering the intense moisture and strength your hair craves. Plus, well-hydrated hair is your best defence against external humidity and frizz.
4. Extend Your Colour Between Appointments
We all love that fresh-from-the-salon glow, but why let it fade? To keep your shade looking vibrant for longer, incorporate a colour treatment mask into your weekly routine.
Why it works: These masks do double duty by deeply nourishing the hair while depositing a fresh hint of pigment. Whether you’re neutralizing brassy tones or boosting richness, it’s the ultimate way to maintain your "expensive" colour between salon visits.
5. Your Overnight "Guardian Angel"
If your hair is prone to breakage and frizz, your pillowcase might be the culprit. Swap the friction for a silk cap and prep your hair with Guardian Angel before you hit the pillow.
Why it works: The silk cap allows your hair to glide smoothly without snagging or snapping, while Guardian Angel acts as a protective shield for your strands. It’s the perfect duo to ensure you wake up with smooth, manageable hair instead of a morning "hair-mare."
