Can colour make my hair thicker?

HAVING highlights is actually a clever cheat to achieve fuller-looking hair.

‘A minimum of two tones in your highlights will create volume, texture, definition and substance,’ says Fran Dixon, senior creative colourist at celebrity favourite Hari’s salon in London.

‘Adding colour automatically adds volume to the roots, allowing hair to have more free-flowing movement.’ To make your colour last longer and save money on salon visits, it pays to stick to products that have been specially formulated to preserve colour.
