Hi, When shampooing, we only need to use enough to rub through the scalp, because as you rinse, the shampoo will pick up any dirt through the ends. If you have been shampooing only your scalp, then you do not need to change the amount of shampoo that you currently use. If, however, you shampoo the rest of your hair as well as the scalp, then you are definitely using too much and need change the amount of shampoo that you use to focus only on the hair through your scalp.

Hi! I need serious help! I have Lupus and Vasculitis of the central nervous system so I am on a LOT of medications. I am on continuous chemo and prednisone by mouth not to mention all the other meds. I also regularly take have to go to hospital and take the chemo and steroids through an IV so my hair is in constant danger. Here's the thing I've finally got my hair grown out and I don't want to lose it. My hair is fine, medium thickness, light brown to dark blond. It was all one length until about six months ago and now there is light layers and I cut my bangs so they are long enough to push behind my ears again. I have blond highlights too. My problem is this all the sudden no matter what kind of conditioner, how long I leave it on I just cannot get a comb through it! I even use a detangler to no avail and it just looks almost like horse hair or something....please help I don't want to have to cut it all off. Is there a way to put something like low lights in for winter instead of highlights? My hair gets really blond in the summer but kind of dingy looking in the winter. Hey thanks for all your help!! I just found this site and I LOVE it!!! It is just a blast and so packed full of information on every subject!

Hi, To help you get a comb through your locks, try trimming the very ends to get rid off any split ends which may be causing it to tangle hence finding it hard to comb. Also, try using a protein spray regularly to help keep it smooth. Make an appointment with a hairstylist to have a professional consultation in regards to having low-lights put through your hair. This way, they will be able to assess your hair personally to give you the best results. I hope I have helped with your question.

Hi, Recently my hair has been very oily- almost sticky- right after I wash and blow it dry. It doesn't happen all the time and varies on frequency; however I have tried a million different things to try and pinpoint what variable may be causing this. I have switched shampoos and conditioners, only conditioning the ends, not conditioning at all, changing brushes and combs, showered in different showers with different water (literally from one side of the country to the other!), yet there doesn't seem to be any kind of discernible factor that leads to the oily roots. My hair is very long, and I haven't treated/colored it in over a year. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I'm out of ideas. Help! Christie

Hi Christie, There are a few things that can cause oily hair, and believe it or not, washing your hair can be one of them so I'd like to ask how often do you shampoo your hair? Every second day should be normal; however, some people need to shampoo their hair every day. If you find that your hair is getting oily after one day, then you should be shampooing it every day. Another question I have is whether you are shampooing once or twice. I recommend that you do shampoo twice as doing it once will not always give you a total clean and can still leave oil on your scalp. Make sure when you are washing your hair that you scrub your scalp and focus mainly on this. When you rinse your hair out, the shampoo will then run through your ends and pick up all the impurities and wash them away when you rinse. Give this a go and see if your hair improves. I hope I have helped. Regards, Sarah Koessler THS Hair Consultant

I have fine hair but have damaged it by ironing and coloring it. So, for the past 5 months I have not colored or used the iron on my hair, I don't even blow-dry it, I just let it dry naturally. But it still gets frizzy from the humid weather and really puffy from the cold as well. What can I do to stop my hair from getting so puffy and big? Cheers

Hi, To stop your hair from puffing up you need to use a smoothing product and I would recommend a cream as using a serum based product can result in oily hair. To find the right product, I would suggest that you ask your stylist which smoothing cream is best for your hair as they can see your hair firsthand and make the right decision based on the texture and type of your hair. For best results when styling, always remember to apply a small amount of product into the palms of your hands and then rub your hands together before running the product through the ends of your hair only. I hope I have helped. Regards, Sarah Koessler THS Hair Consultant

Question from: Bunny // Added: 04th August 2009
I have very damaged hair! It's waist-length. I have no bangs. I haven't had a haircut in almost 4yrs. I'm just a busy mom. I do straighten it about 2-3 times a month, and think this may have caused the damage. Without straightening it, my hair is natually course & frizzy. I want to lose some length, add layers, and maybe some highlights. My color is med-drk brown w/some grays. II really want movement and some volume. Maybe a long bang that blends in w/ rest of hair? Have round face, I'm short and in mid 30s. Fair complexion. I can't afford anything for upkeep. I'm too poor and too busy. Just want something that I can touch up every couple of months.

Hi. For a correct assessment, the best advice I can give is that you see a hair stylist in person as they will be able to see what the tone, texture, elasticity and condition of your hair is up close and give you the best course of action. Thank you. Serah Schuster, THS Hair Consultant.

Hi Lucky Girl! I can tell you that there are almost endless possibilities with what you can do to your wonderful hairstyle. Changing shapes, lengths, textures, and colors can make a person feel completely different, new, and refreshed. But here's the thing: before making any of these changes you need to consider important features such as you face shape, hair type, maintenance requirements, and of course your complexion, in relation to any color change. So with out me knowing any of these details I could be giving you the wrong advice. I would suggest that you upload your photo to our website and try on all the different hairstyle and color combinations starting with "wavy long" as your search criteria. You could also invite me to see any favorites using the MHYS function as one of your friends where I can actually comment on your makeovers, as well as make my own changes, suggestions re. your hairstyles, or even choose complete new looks for you. Pretty cool? Welcome to THS! Regards, Roy Caccamo THS Hair Consultant.

I recently found a great new hairstyle and color on your website. I have a question though: will my hairstylist be able to make my hair look the same, especially in terms of its color? I really like how the color looks against my photo.

That's a great question because it's such an important one. TheHairStyler.com, a virtual hairstyling website, is the best way of showing your stylist what kind of hairstyle and color you'd like to achieve. To make the most out of TheHairStyler.com make sure the photo you upload is naturally lit and realistically reflects how you actually look. Once you've done this, the information you will receive is invaluable. Why? Since you can print your photo with your new virtual hairstyle and color, it's extremely hard for your stylist to misunderstand your request. Will your stylist be able to make your hair look the same as your virtual hairstyle? Not all styles are practical for all hair types, so your stylist will explain whether it's possible to mold your hair to the shape you want. In terms of colors, these days most salons make their own. This means that getting one similar to what you are seeking should be quite simple. But in the same way that certain shapes are more suitable for certain hair types, your stylist will also explain that certain colors may or may not be suitable for your hair condition (there may be some difficulty, for example, if your hair is damaged and/or already colored). So remember: TheHairStyler.com will give you lots of great ideas to help you effectively find a style that suits you, but it's up to your stylist to work out whether or not that style is practically achievable. Good luck! Regards, Roy Caccamo THS Hair Consultant

My hair stylist told me to comb my curly hair once a week only. He said to comb sections at a time and to start from the bottom and work my way up. However, I'm still not sure if I should do this when my hair is very wet, damp or dry. Can you tell me which is best? Thank you! Chris

Hi Chris, It's best to comb curly hair when your hair is wet or damp, definitely not dry. Always use a wide tooth comb as the hair is in a fragile state when wet and a wide tooth comb will not rip at the hair cuticle. Do not use a brush when your hair is wet as that will rip at the hair and cause breakage. I hope I have helped. Regards, Serah Schuster THS Hair Consultant

Hi my natural hair colour is black, however for the last twenty or so years ive had it dyed all sorts of colours. For the last 3 years my hair has been browny underneath with blonde on top. The problem is because my hair is so dark natuarly dying it blonde is difficult it appears to go through the different colour changes but ends up very brassy my hairdresser applys a tonner on top and this appears to work, but not for long. I use silver shampoo to reduce brassyness and conditioner. I have statred to get more grey hair but it is still sparse. I would like my hair ash blonde all over but my hairdresser is reluctant to do so. Could i do it myself. i would be really grayefull for your input. thanks

Hi Kate, To answer your question as honestly as possible I would have to say No No No dont do it your self! That would end up in disaster for sure! Seriously, your hairstylist is having trouble getting the brassiness out of your hair in a controlled environment, using their expertize and knowledge in hair coloring, you would not stand a chance of making it better. Your hair throws gold tonnes because its so dark to start off with. The only way to get around this is to bleach your hair as light as possible and then tone it. The problem here is that this is rather damaging to your hair as the more yellow pigments you disperse out ( through bleaching) the weaker your hair becomes leading to breakage and split ends. www.thehairstyler.com/features/articles/hair-color/best-hair-color-permanent-bleach-tint So maybe your best options include hair pieces and wigs or simply a new color choice? Good Luck Roy Caccamo THS hair Consultant.

I get my hair colored and sometimes I get highlights, but it seems to get dry. I've tried using hair products for colored hair, and I even use conditioner every time I shampoo. Also, my hair is fine. So I think my hairstylist is using bleach. Is there a way to get the same color results without using bleach? Can you recommend anything please, like some special products etc.? Thanks, Jose

Hi! That's an interesting problem. Any chemicals in the hair (bleach or color) will dry the hair out. If your stylist is using bleach, it's because she's trying to lift your present color and lighten it to a certain degree. Sometimes, depending on how much your hair needs to be lifted, it's hard to lighten it without using bleach. Using shampoos and conditioners for chemically treated hair is a great idea, and we also recommend you apply a deep treatment at least once a week. This will strengthen the hair bonds and keep the cuticles smooth, easing dryness and frizziness.Daily moisturisers and serums are other good ideas because applying them daily also helps tackle the dryness problem. And remember: try not to straighten or blow-dry the hair too often because the heat used can dry your hair out more. There are many products available for chemically treated hair. I would recommend visiting a hair salon and asking for products and treatments specifically for your hair type. That way, the stylists can assess your hair personally and make sure you get the correct products. I hope I've been some help, and thanks for using THS. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Question from: Jose // Added: 30th July 2009
I have naturally black hair and I used to have ash brown highlights. About a year ago I decided to dye my hair back to its original black color. But recently I thought I'd like to lighten it again. First of all I tried to lighten it to a light ash brown using a 30 volume developer. The problem was my roots only lightened to a reddish brown and the rest of my hair remained dark. After that I tried lightening it with a stronger developer (a 40 volume developer), but it still didn't work. Why? I don't understand what I need to do to lighten my hair to a light brown or chestnut brown. Can you please email me some tips?

Hi! There's a simple reason you're having some trouble lightening your black hair. A rule of thumb to remember is this: artificial color cannot lighten another artificial color. In other words, if you already have artificial color in your hair, trying to lighten it with another artificial color will be useless. In your case, you dyed your hair back to black using an artificial color. That means that by the time you decided to lighten it again, you only had a couple of inches of untreated hair at your roots (virgin color). Artificial color will only work on untreated hair, and that's the reason your roots were the only areas of you hair that lightened to a reddish brown. So no matter what strength developer you use (30 or 40 volume) it will only work on those areas of your hair that haven't been colored (your roots). I strongly suggest you make an appointment with a hairstylist for a personal consultation. That way they will be able to closely assess your hair color and advise you about the best way to lighten your hair in its current state. I hope I've helped with your question.

I have naturally dark brown hair (with some greys) and 3 weeks ago I had a full head of blonde foils done on my hair. I don't like it and already have regrowth and my hair is really dry. Is it okay to go over the blonde foils with a permanent brown color? Thanks

Hi, Unfortunately when it comes to correcting blonde colors you cannot just cover the color over with another color. Pigment needs to be added back into your hair first; otherwise the end result will not be a nice color. Covering over the blonde foils with a darker color is also not going to fix the condition of your hair because even though you have covered over the foils, the damage from them is still there. I would recommend that you see your hairstylist so that they can get your hair back to the right condition and use the right color to cover your highlights. Although you might not have enjoyed this experience with foils, I suggest that you don't rule them out completely. Grey hair tends to stand out more with darker hair colors and using foils is a great way to disguise them. And if the dryness still concerns you, you can always try just a few foils through your top section rather than foiling your entire head. I hope I have helped.

Hi! Bleaching may be necessary because your hair needs to be light enough for a vibrant red to show through. Putting a red color over the top of your faded black will not result in the desired red as it may still be too dark. I would not recommend this be done at home as it is a complicated process. I suggest that you make an appointment to see a professional hairstylist and ask them for a personal consultation, that way they can see exactly what condition your hair is in and you can show them exactly what color you desire and they'll be able to offer you advice on how to achieve it. They can also do a strand test that involves coloring a small section of hair (usually behind the ears) to test your condition and to see what coloring techniques would be the best option. I hope I have helped. Regards, Serah Schuster THS Hair Consultant

Hi, Adding a slight change to ginger tones is great fun and you don't need to change the overall color to get a great result. Adding highlights and lowlights is the perfect way to add some spice and to enhance your naturally red tone.

Before setting, spray your hair with setting lotion (not hairspray) and then roll in your rollers, leave for approximately 15-20mins or until your hair is completely dry, and then unwind.

I had blonde hair and my roots grew out so I went to my stylist for a touch up and she used a color to try to lighten my roots, and although it went light, it also went real brassy/orange looking. She tried a beige toner and a violet toner, but it didn't work, so a few days later I came back in and she foiled in some bleach to break up the brassiness, which did work, however it was still too orange for me so a friend suggested using Shimmer Lights shampoo. I did and it left some purple/gray in the lighter parts of my hair. How do I get rid of this? Norma

Hi Alison, When you use color shampoo to tone your hair there is always a chance things may not go your way and it sounds to me like the purple tones in your hair may have been caused by too much toning from the Shimmer Lights shampoo. This can sometimes happen and can easily be fixed with a few washes from a different shampoo. If this doesn't fix your color, I would suggest going back to your hairstylist so that she can take a look at the current tone, texture and elasticity of your hair in person and advise you on the right products to get the best results. I hope I have helped. Regards, Paola Fioramonte THS Hair Consultant

Hi, The short hair that you have described sounds like broken strands of hair and can be tamed by spraying a very small amount of hairspray through your top section to smooth your hair down. Remember to use only a small amount to stop your hair from ending up with a crisp finish. Because your hair is curly, I would recommend combing your hair only when it's wet and never using a brush as this will cause your hair to break further and give you frizzy ends. To keep the breakage from re-occurring, I would recommend that you do a regular moisturizing treatment because curly hair is naturally very dry and needs more moisture than other types such as straight hair. The better condition your hair is in, the less breakage you will get. Regards, Sarah Koessler THS Hair Consultant

Hi, I would suggest trying shorter layers through the top to take weight off. That way you'll be able to sweep off that middle part. You can also try blow-drying your hair into place and spraying with hairspray to hold. Another option is to attempt a very soft perm which will not create any curl but more volume. You can do this by having the perm rollers placed on the side where you want your hair to part. Side bangs will only sit well depending on the how the hairline naturally grows, for example, if you have a widows peak or cowlicks through that front hairline area then it will be very difficult to achieve side bangs. I hope I have helped. Regards, Serah Schuster THS Hair Consultant

That's a great question- one that most of us can identify with I'm sure! Unfortunately, the best way to encourage your hair to grow is by trimming it every 6-8 weeks. This will help it grow longer and healthier. Also, a healthy diet encourages the hair to grow quickly; and most importantly, patience is essential. So in sum, the hair will grow (of course) but regular trims and a healthy diet will encourage growth. Hang in there! Regards, Serah Schuster THS Hair Consultant

Hi. I am a 44 yo female with long, dark brown, wavy to curly hair. Although my hair is fine, I have a lot of it! I have never had bangs in my entire life and recently bought some clip in bangs to see what I would look like. I really like the look (I looked much younger!), but the clip-ins are a bit too heavy for my face. I am thinking of having my stylist cut long side swept bangs, but due to a strong cowlick in the front, I'm concerned they won't lay correctly. I live in a dry climate and have great success with my Sedu flatiron when I want to go sleek, so I think I can the bangs how I want them, but I'm a bit nervous. Question 1: should I give them a try? Question 2: if yes, how should I have them cut? Question 3: how long would they take to grow out if I didn't like them? Thanks much! Alex

Hi agerrity, In regards to having bangs cut, you will need to understand that with a strong cowlick in the front, you will definitely have problems trying to get it sitting right. Also remember that the shorter you go, the less weight there is so the more problems you will have with it. And if you do decide to have them cut then realize you want to grow them out, you might be waiting a while as hair grows approximately half an inch every month. I would strongly suggest you make an appointment with a hairstylist so they can assess your hair personally and give you a more accurate solution. I hope I have helped. Thank you for using THS.

Hi Debbie, There are 4 main ways of changing your hairstyle, 1) Change the shape with shorter or longer layers throughout 2) change the length cutting it off shorter or growing it longer. 3) Change the color to something different partially or all over, and 4) change the texture from straight to curls or the other way around. So you are doing the last one already, good! now you should talk with your stylist and see what they can do about changing the shape (layers) while leaving the length. Remember. this new look must suit your face shape, lifestyle, and hair type too! So get talking with your hairstylist ASAP! Roy Cacccamo THS Hair Consultant.

I need to look smart for work but cannot spend hours blow-drying and styling my hair as I have two small children to sort out in the mornings.

Hi, It is impossible for your hair to grow out only a few days after being thinned so it sounds to me that when your hairstylist styles your hair, it is smoother than when you do it and makes your hair seem thinner. Unfortunately there is no shampoo that will make your hair thinner. Do you have a straightening iron? If you do, running it through your locks every few days will help to smooth your hair out and shouldn't take too long when your hair is dry and can even be done at night as it will stay straight while you sleep and leave you with more time to get ready in the morning! I hope I have helped. Regards, Sarah Koessler THS Hair Consultant

Question from: sui-zhen // Added: 03th August 2009
I recently tried a bob and like it. It's chin length and only slightly layered. I have an oval face with a high forehead and naturally wavy, thick-ish hair. I don't want to have to straighten it every day - - I would prefer to scrunch it and bring out its natural texture. Right now, my hair looks heavy and lacks movement if it's not straightened. I want to change things for my next haircut. I still want a bob but I can't decide which bob variation to go with - - layers, concave, graduated in the back, height at the crown, etc, or a combination of something. What would you suggest for someone who wants a trendy and modern bob, that works with wavy hair (and yet can still be straightened occassionally)? Thanks.

Hi, Your oval face shape will suit any bob cut whether it has layers or not. I would suggest you sit down with a hair stylist for a thorough consultation to see which cut will work best for you. You can also register and upload your photo to thehairstyler.com to try on different hairstyles as we have a variety of "bob" cuts that will suit you. Thank you for suing THS. I hope I have helped.

What is the difference between the razor and thinning scissors (with the jagged teeth)? My hair is thin, however the density is medium. Should a hairdresser ever use thinning scissors on my hair? Would it be recommended to get a razor cut to add texture to a cut, rather than the thinning scissors on my hair type? Kyoko
Hi Kyoko, For your hair type I definitely wouldn't use the thinning scissors as they will purely thin your hair out (as the name suggests). Inst...

Hi Kyoko, For your hair type I definitely wouldn't use the thinning scissors as they will purely thin your hair out (as the name suggests). Instead, I would recommend asking your hairdresser to use a razor as it will definitely add texture to your hair type. I hope I have helped. Regards, Sarah Koessler THS Hair Consultant

Hi, If you are talking about sebum (which is the hair's natural oil) then it is fine to have a little in your hair because it will help to stop the hair from drying out. Hair can become weighed down from too much oil, however, so it is a good idea to wash when you feel it is necessary. I hope I have helped. Regards, Sarah Koessler THS Hair Consultant

Hello, I'd like to know how can I make my hair like this: http://www.vna2z.com/data/media/13/Dan%20Truong%2001.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm50/nminhlaidt/2006/IMG_2576.jpg I am willing to pay too.

Hi Daniele. The hairstyle that you want to achieve is known as a wedge cut, where the back is cut short and tapered up to just below the ears. Then it becomes almost all one length from the top. The sides are cut short just above the ears (almost under cut) and then left all one length too. If you were to comb it forward and down you could say it was like a bowl-cut, but with shape and graduated layers. I recommend taking this picture to your hairstylist, and also try it on using your photo . His hair is wavy, but straight hair will sit the way you want. BTW: you will need to have long layers on top to achieve this look. Roy | THS

Is there a product you can recommend for my front hair and to make my hair thicker? Please help. thanks.

Hello Andrea. Firstly are you loosing your front hairline because of the hair straightening? If the answer is yes, then this breakage should stop once your stop applying the harsh straightening chemicals to your hair. Breakage can occur for lots of reasons such as incorrect, harsh, or straightening products that are too strong for your hair type, and for other reasons such as bad application or processing. What ever the reason, you should definitely stop using chemicals and let your hair grow back naturally. Now a good balanced Shampoo and Conditioner should be used to keep your hair in optimum condition and along with lots of massaging on your scalp to keep the blood circulating to the hair follicle. Vitamins such as Fish oil have also be known to work for thinning hair? Good Luck! Roy Cacccamo THS hair Consultant.

Hello Kathy, Well scene hair can be anything that's a little different, unusual, light and dark and emo looking. So this is more about a change in attitude from your end, how you feel about looking a little different and people seeing you that way. You are obviously not sure, so why not try uploading your photo and trying on our alternative wavy and curly looks for a visual reality check. Something else you could do is change how you style your hair. Make it messy, a little in your face and scene looking, by teasing and combing it out and using styling products like spray gel and wax. Then if you start to get into the "groove," you can consider color and hair cutting changes like eye-level bangs and unusual shapes that accentuate the look. I recommend leaving the cutting until last, because it's not reversible like simple styling changes. Have a go! It could be fun. Roy | THS

Hi, Try this for more volume: apply mousse all over then flip your hair upside down and blast with your hair dryer. Rollers will help also depending on the size you use; the bigger the roller the more volume. A good thing to remember too is this: less is more. Don't drown your hair with too much product as it can weigh the hair down and cause it to sit flat. Hope that helps! Serah Schuster THS Hair Consultant

Hi Kelvin. If your face shape is diamond it means that it's long with a pointed chin- but with wide cheekbones. It's best to avoid hairstyles like a Mowhawk because the height on top will make you face look longer. Instead, a trendy looking mullet will add some width to the sides, therefore suiting your face shape better. Good luck! Roy Cacccamo, THS Hair Consultant.

Hi There Gabriella. That's a good qusetion and a very imporatnt one for anybody considering any hairstyle change. Face shape consideration is so important when changing or selecting a new hairstyle. I wrote an article about all 7 face shapes what suits them in variuos lengths. http://www.thehairstyler.com/features/articles/hairstyles/the-right-hairstyle-for-your-round-face-shape Give this article a read, and you will see that there are some things you need to do to get it right for your round face shape such as: A middle part helps divide faces into two longer portions, while the absence of bangs doesn't compromise any vertical length. You need height or length to make your face less round! Just above the shoulders side layers works well for straight to soft wavy hair types too! My advice is to do our consutation and try on your results! Seeing is believing after all!

Hi! I have very thin hair and it's about to my shoulders. I want something completely different and I can't decide between cutting it to below my ears or letting it grow out and getting hair extensions to make it thicker. I also wonder about color.

Hi Karen, That's a great question- one that most of us can identify with I'm sure! Unfortunately, the best way to encourage your hair to grow is by trimming it every 6-8 weeks. This will help it grow longer and healthier. Also, a healthy diet encourages the hair to grow quickly; and most importantly, patience is essential. So in sum, the hair will grow (of course) but regular trims and a healthy diet will encourage growth. Hang in there! Regards, Serah Schuster THS Hair Consultant

Hi. Using heat protection products before and after styling your hair with a blow-dryer or curling iron should help reduce damage to your hair. However you should ask your hairstylist to take a look at your hair and offer you some specific advice as the condition of your hair will also affect the rate of damage caused by heat appliances.

Question from: paigebrown // Added: 23th November 2009
Hi, I recently went from long hair (the shortest cut I've every had was shoulder length and that was due to my grandmother getting overzealous with a pair of scissors while 'trimming my split ends') to a very short cut (probably a variation of a 'pixie cut' although I'm not that familiar with hair style terms). I went to a stylist to have my hair cut since I don't have confidence in my family's ability to try something new and I know short styles can go horribly wrong if you don't know what you're doing. I'm not used to going to a professional to have my hair cut and didn't think anything of it when she didn't offer me a hand mirror to check the back of my head. I suspect she did it on purpose after managing to find a pair of mirrors once I got home... My problem is that I've discovered that I have a crown that is both extremely willful as well as offcenter by 2-3". It almost looks like a pictures where a meteor has hit a forest with every single piece of hair stretching as far as I can from the central point. I've never noticed it before since I've always had long hair to cover it up and weigh it down, but now that I have short hair I have no idea what to do. The problem isn't that there is a lack of hair (it's just as thick as everywhere else on my head) it's just that I can't get any of it to go toward that point for an radius of 3" from the center. I tried the 'glue' the stylist sold me and that just seems to make it worse, although that could be because I've never used a styling product before. I'm not even sure I can manage to use a blow dryer properly once I buy one. Is there anything I can do to try to tame my hair? I feel extremely self conscious and embarrassed about it. Should I just wear a hat until my hair grows out again?

Hi there! Unfortunately a crown will always do what it wants to do. The best way to tame it is to style the hair in the direction it grows. The more you try and go against the growth of a crown, the messier and more unsettled your hairstyle will look. You also need to use products that are lightweight like hairspray. These will help prevent the crown sitting too flat- which can make it more obvious. Hope that helps :) Regards, Serah Schuster, THS Hair Consultant
