Solving Your Hair Problems Is Easier Than You Think
Got some major hair issues after that long, cold winter? Pro stylist Justin German shares some tips and tricks for your best hair this spring.
“Not using conditioner is like putting your makeup on without moisturizer,” says Justin German, celebrity hairstylist and Pantene Consulting Stylist. However, 55 per cent of Canadian households still don’t use this product on the regular. The reason? They don’t think they need it: they’ve had a bad experience or they’ve picked the wrong products.
FIGHT FRIZZ
With warmer weather comes humidity, and that unfortunately means strands are more prone to frizz.
PRO TIP: Prep your hair with a frizz-fighting conditioner, and then use a cream-based product before styling to make hair more manageable. These products will not only smooth down the hair cuticle but also hydrate strands for a beautiful, shiny finish.
Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Sleek Conditioner “This features argan and avocado oils and fights frizz by hydrating the cuticle to get a smooth and shiny look that lasts.” MSRP $8.99
DITCH THE DRY
Got dry strands, split ends and breakage from winter’s cold weather? Undo the damage by using a nourishing conditioner and then safely detangle your hair with a leave-in spray that doubles as a heat protectant.
PRO TIP: To keep things really smooth, blow-dry with the nozzle facing downwards to prevent frizz and fly-aways.
Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner “It has micro-moisturizers that hydrate every strand for soft and manageable hair without weighing it down.” MSRP $8.99
LIVEN UP LIMP
While those with fine, limp hair tend to avoid conditioner because they think it will weigh strands down, it’s important that you don’t skip this step as conditioner provides protection against hair fall and breakage, especially when brushing. The key is to find a lightweight, volumizing formula that won’t weigh your hair down. Amp up the volume even more with a body-boosting mousse before blow-drying.
PRO TIP: Blow-dry with your head flipped upside down to get more volume and lift at the root. You can also try putting in some loose waves to add movement and body to your hair.
Pantene Pro-V Sheer Volume Conditioner “It gives thick, full-body hair that lasts all day! The lightweight conditioning in the formula gives instantly noticeable volume, lift and control.” MSRP $8.99
SHAMPOO ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH
