HOW CLEAN should your HAIR be?

If you’re coming in just for a trim, it’s helpful to arrive with your hair clean and styled how you like to wear it, says Michael. Then tell your hairdresser how you’d like to improve it. More body? A different fringe shape?

If you’re coming for a big change, ideally come with your hair clean and showing its natural texture, so your hairdresser can see what will work easily with what you have.

If you’re coming for a colour, definitely go with dirty hair, says Michael. It creates a barrier between all the chemicals and your scalp, so you’re less likely to get a contact reaction.
