5 HAIR TIPS THAT REALLY WORK

(Copied from the pros)

Actually, there was a very serious piece planned here about work and career, but it's Friday so I wasn't in the mood for that at all. And neither were you, probably. So here’s my contribution of at least equal importance, namely: good hair.

Because I sometimes sit in the chair of a professional and I keep my eyes wide open. Voilà, my golden hair tips.

1. Blow-dry upside down

If you want more volume at least. By blow-drying against the roots, your hair will stand further away from your head. And everything dries better. It really works.

2. Spray hairspray on your hair

You need some help for this, but if you want to spray a lot of hairspray, it's handy if someone sprays it and gradually ‘blows it out’ over your hair. This way it won't get sticky.

“Voilà, my golden hair tips.”

3. Massage your scalp with your fingers

I always marvel at this when I sit in the chair of a hairstylist. They just go over my scalp with their fingertips for three seconds and suddenly my hair looks much more like Brigitte Bardot (in her good days, of course).

4. Powder

Or dry shampoo, that works too. Apply it to your scalp, rub a little, and voilà: volume.

5. Moroccanoil

My hope in desperate hair days. Good for combing through the hair and perfect for closing cuticles. Whatever you have left, apply it to your dry elbow.

Apologies for the high Jiskefet content, but it all works like a charm.
