Take Care Of Your Hair With Tips and Advice From Anthony James Hair Salon in Halifax

At this time of year it’s traditional to focus on love! At our Halifax hair salon we’re not going to offer you advice on your relationship, but we can give you advice on how best to care for your hair.

Your hair is the most important accessory you have, after all, you wear it every day! It makes sense to invest in the health of your hair, not just for a Valentine’s Day, but throughout the year. You will reap the benefits not just in the way your hair looks, but also the way having beautiful hair makes you feel. 

Show yourself and your hair the love you both deserve! Here are our top tips for caring for your hair...

Book a Hair Treatment

A salon treatment can truly transform your hair. The right can breathe new life into dry, dull and dehydrated hair, repairing damage and protecting from future wear and tear.  

Visit our Halifax hair salon for a hair restoring Joico treatment. These treatments are renowned for its ability to transform even the most dry and damaged hair. We recommend that our clients add Joico Defy Damage to all hair colour services, as they strengthen and protect the hair during the colouring process.

Defy Damage can also be used as a standalone treatment for damaged hair, with visible results in just one treatment!

Whatever your hair concerns, there is a specific treatment available to improve the look and feel of your locks. Speak to your Anthony James stylist who can advise you on the best treatment for your needs.

Use A Heat Protection Product

We all love the look of freshly styled hair, but using heated styling tools is one of the leading causes of hair damage. Heat can leave unprotected hair broken, parched and frizzy so do your locks a favour and invest in a quality heat protection spray.

We have a wide range of products available in our salon and via our online shop to choose from, including the KMS Therma Shape Hot Flex Spray. Simply spray it onto your damp hair directly before you blow-dry, straighten or curl your hair with heated tools. This is a super lightweight formula, so if you have curly hair it won’t drag down your curls or make them feel limp. 

Book Regular Hair Appointments

If your hair is damaged and has split ends, book an appointment at our Halifax hair salon as soon as possible.

Split ends and broken strands of hair can’t be repaired, and if left untreated, they will just continue to split up the hair shaft, causing further damage. Booking regular trims to cut out the split ends is essential for healthy hair. This applies even if you are trying to grow your hair, in fact it will help your hair to grow longer as it will be in better shape.

When it comes to maintaining your hair colour, we recommend booking a colour refresh appointment every 4 – 8 weeks, although this will depend on the condition of your hair and how quickly it grows. The longer you leave between colour appointments, the more work will be required to deliver your desired look!   

Use Salon Quality Hair Products 

Supermarket haircare brands may look like a bargain but they can often be full of unwanted ingredients which, in the long term, can do your hair more harm than good. 

Products which contain a lot of silicones make your hair look superficially shiny can be very problematic for the health of your hair. The silicones in these products result in a waxy build up on the hair and can lead to dandruff, hair breakage and other concerns.

The Anthony James hair specialists can assess your hair and your styling needs to recommend the best professional hair care products for you to use at home between salon visits. 

Be Gentle With Your Hair

Washing your hair every day can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, frizz and fragile hair that is prone to break. If your hair is lank and greasy, it could be because you are washing it too much, your hair is working hard to counteract the dryness caused by over washing. Washing your hair too often can also strip or fade your hair colour too, meaning more trips to the salon. 

We recommend washing your hair every 2-5 days, use dry shampoo or clever daily styling tricks such as braided looks or perfect the messy mum bun. When you do wash your hair, be gentle! Don’t scrub it, rub with a towel to dry or tug at it when detangling, which can cause breakage and frizz.
