The Wash-Day Routine

When it comes to shampoo and conditioner I’m incredibly loyal to the Chronologist range from Kérastase. I’ve used it for at least ten years. Not that many people talk about it now but it’s an anti-ageing range and it’s so good. My hair is quite fine, so when I’m using masks, I only apply them from the mid-lengths to ends – too much richness towards my roots makes my hair go flat. The best I’ve tried is from Shu Uemura. It’s quite pricey but the results are incredible. A bit of hair oil through the ends keeps things soft and nourished.

The Extra TLC

At 51, I’ve definitely noticed a loss in density, especially around my hair line. The one thing that has made a real difference is adding a scalp serum into my routine. For years, I’ve avoided them but even my hairdresser has noticed it’s working (we can both see real baby-hair regrowth). I cycle between a few brands – Aroma Zone, Clarins and K18 – as I feel you can reap the benefits from the different ingredients. Finally, the Klorane dry shampoo helps me refresh my blow dry without using heat, plus it contains oat and ceramides to nourish and hydrate.

The Styling Must-Haves

I only blow dry my hair about once a week, twice if I have to, which has really improved its condition. I’m aiming to use as little heat as possible and always use heat protectant. For tools, I really like Hershesons – both the hair dryer and the tong. Hairspray is also a must – and Sam McKnight’s Modern Hairspray never goes crunchy. A final essential is the Color Wow root touch-up powder. I have grey roots and try not to colour it too frequently, so this helps me fill in those little bits and make sure everything looks neat and polished.
