How do I take care of blonde curly hair?

Being blonde and curly are two things that need just that little bit extra attention when it comes to hair care.

How can I get shiny hair? Five products to get that glossy look

How do I get healthy, shiny hair?

TIP 1: PROTECT HAIR AT HOME

Use a hair mask to hydrate and reduce hair breakage and choose a volumising shampoo to make hair appear fuller. Apply from the middle of your head down to the ends to prevent flatness. Don’t forget to use heat protecting products when styling hair with straighteners, curlers and hairdryers, too.

TIP 2: LOOK AFTER COLOUR

Dying your hair can make it weaker, so be sure to wash it with colour-safe shampoo and conditioner - opt for ones that contain keratin as it makes chemically-treated hair stronger
