Having cut down on the use of heated appliances, not
highlighting my hair and religiously applying hair masks a couple of
times a week has paid off.
It had been about 11 weeks since I had had my hair trimmed
by hair supremo, Michael Charalambous, who surely is one of the best cutters on
the planet. My ends weren’t fried and my tresses were in remarkably good
condition.
“We only need to take off a couple of centimetres and get
rid of the graduation at the back,” said the maestro. “We should keep it long
for the summer.”
Now, according to Michael, is the time to let your
hair grow. “If you are going to have layers in your hair they should be long so
that there is some movement. Don’t go overboard on product. For the coming
season hair maybe longer but there is no need to over style. What
you want is some understated spontaneity,” he said.
We may be thinking of kissing good-bye to the big bouncy blow-dry and seeing the return of
poker-straight hair, but Michael points out that it doesn’t suit everybody.
“It looks great if you are petite, but others need a bit of
bounce. Keep the sides straight and add a bit more body to the back
to make the style more flattering,” says Michael.
When styling your tresses, Michael advises against using metallic brushes as they can burn the hair. Instead go for natural bristle or ceramic ones as they will do less damage.

If you colour your hair, now is the time to go half a shade
lighter to make a gradual transition to summer.
My hair was amazing: sleek and shiny. A look any celeb would
be proud of on the red carpet.
