My dry, brittle grey hair has become softer and smoother. I am delighted!
Michael
Charalambous, my brilliant hairdresser, advised me to air-dry my locks over the
summer. The over-use of heated appliances can cause hair to lose moisture
making it drier and frizzier.
Giving
up silicones and sulphates has definitely made a difference. My latest
discovery is Johnson’s Kids Curl Defining Conditioner Spray, which I recently
picked up at Boots. At £2.50 (on offer), it was worth trying. I was pleased
with the results. It left my hair soft and silky. Most styling products and
leave-in conditioners tend to leave it crunchy.
As you
age, your hair becomes drier and thinner. Having a healthy, balanced diet is
imperative if you want good hair. I eat plenty of oily fish such as salmon or
sardines. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that the body does not produce
itself and are, reportedly, beneficial for your hair. Drinking plenty of water, apparently, helps
as well.
I was
delighted when Michael noticed the change in my hair. Gone were the frizzy
curls. Now I had soft waves with hardly any fluffiness.
“Since Covid, hairdressing has changed,” says Michael. “Clients got used to doing their own hair and now want relaxed styles which are easier for them to manage. Waves are the most requested look.”
I was
pleased to hear that my hair is on-trend. I was also relieved to hear that we
did not need to go as short this time, as Michael said the condition of my hair
was better.
As always,
Michael likes to do a little tweak. This time, instead of curtain bangs, he
added a soft, feathery fringe.
I
loved the look, my favourite since I adopted my natural hair colour. I felt a
spring in my step when I left the salon.
I got
plenty of compliments from friends with the new look. What really made me
rather chuffed was when a couple of complete strangers stopped me while I was
shopping to say what lovely hair. An endorsement indeed!
