FOOLPROOF AT-HOME HAIR

Until salons do open their doors, here’s how to DIY

The root touch-up

Have you seen Eva Longoria’s root cover-up video on Insta? If not, rectify that pronto, and watch in awe as she covers a streak of grey in seconds with L’oréal Paris Magic Retouch Spray, £8.99.

The cult classic treatment

Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer Treatment, £19, deeply nourishes, leaving hair healthier after just one use. Apply weekly and feel smug post-lockdown.

The if-you-must cut

Most pros advise against it, but if you are determined, make sure you’re trimming only, and never snip straight across. Instead, ‘Cut upwards into the hair to achieve a softer line,’ explains Bobby Collier, hair stylist at Larry King Salon.

The Zoom-ready style

As celebrity hair stylist Zoe Irwin says, ‘It’s all about making the front section look more done.’ Frame your face with a few loose waves and you’re good to go.
