Q) “My hair is like straw, literally, very coarse in texture. It was coloured seven weeks ago and for the last four has had no life whatsoever, it’s very dry – I would love a possible explanation or saviour!” – Glynis, QLD
A) “Hi Glynis. The key to your hair feeling better and getting back more lustre, movement and softness is MOISTURE, MOISTURE, MOISTURE. Any form of treatment, leave ins, conditioners, basically anything with moisture will slowly get it back. Overnight treatments, unlike protein treatments – which can leave your hair feeling like straw – are best and the good thing is you can’t overdose on moisture in any way. Consistently using moisture will slowly restore your hair back to its normal lustre. While colouring less and cutting down on blow-drying will help also.
