Long-term smooth

Why have you developed an ever-mushrooming aura of frizz? It’s complicated. that aforementioned lack of oil makes hair brittle, which looks wirier anyway and encourages breakage. throw in roughed-up cuticles – the cumulative damage of many moons of colouring and heat styling – in goes any humidity in the air and boom! one million mini wispy bits waving around. if your hair’s coarse and you want reliable long-term smoothing, consider a Brazilian blow-dry. don’t be put off by outdated scaremongering around chemicals, 72 Hair Smoothing Treatment, from £100 at Toni & Guy Salons nationwide, leaves hair in better condition than it finds it by sealing in a gel-based keratin, which you then leave in for three days

(you can’t see or feel it), leaving hair entirely frizz-free for up to 12 weeks. it doesn’t knock natural curls out, simply smooths, and those in the know are addicted. if your frizz issues are on the mild side, L’Oréal Professionnel’s new Powermix, from £10 nationwide, is a low-key option that takes five minutes at the backwash but fills hair with pro-keratin to smooth down cuticles for instant effects.
