Graham Webb International has the know-how you need to keep you looking good. This week it's a high five of grooming advice.,/p>
1. If your winter detox regime neglected your hair, now is the time to make amends.
Suffering double by alternate exposure to the drying atmosphere in overheated buildings and the ravages of the cold, wet weather outside, it's high time to give your hair a break.
Vow to turn down the heat on your drier, even letting hair dry naturally once in a while - an on-trend beanie hat or natty woollen will keep you looking cool.
Invest in nourishing treatments and deep-penetrating conditioners that will rehydrate and reimbue stressed out, overworked hair with vital nutrients.
And resolve to always use a barrier spray or lotion on hair to avoid scorching. A couple of weeks of pampering will work wonders!
2. Yellow replaces purple as THE colour to wear this spring. But remember, the more eye-catching your clothes, the more important it is to balance with simple, understated hair styles, or you'll end up looking excess all areas!
3. Looking for a winter makeover? Then the key looks are all about more dynamic cuts, bolder lines and adding an individual quirk to a classic look.
Bobs are choppier, and fringes are hot news - asymmetric, broken up or blunt-cut, the choice is yours.
Katie Holmes, Paris Hilton and Posh Spice have all gone for the chop and the clever money is on getting yours right now so that by July you'll have grown it out slightly into a looser look for tying back or emulating the more casual vibe of summer.
4. And the colour code for winter is about imbuing hair with warmth and depth. Rich auburn, luxuriously chocolate brunette tones, or honey blondes will do the trick.
5. Safeguard your expensive salon colour with the correct homecare products. Clynol's id care range is ideal: Enrich Colour Protection shampoo and Restore Colour Protection conditioner will help colour retain its vibrancy and tone for longer. Promise!
