This includes overwashing, using harsh shampoos, conditioners, or styling products and opting for hair tools that haven’t been designed to help protect the hair.’ For healthier hair, there are a few things that can be done; the Bellissima stylists advise regular haircuts to start: ‘For shorter hair where you want to keep the shape and style, around six weeks. If you want to grow your hair longer eight-12 weeks or when you see split ends appear.’ And when it comes to using stylist tools, it’s important to protect the hair from heat damage. Gorka and Hannah said: ‘Always use a heat-protecting product – the ingredients form a thin film on the hair’s surface that helps provide a thermal protectant. Also opting for the right hair tools is crucial!’
