Want gorgeous, long lengths? Our experts give you their top tips for radiant, healthy looking locks.
 
Long, beautiful hair is all about having healthy hair above anything else. ‘The ideal characteristics for long hair are a natural shine as well as a natural style that falls into place effortlessly. If you truly want long hair, you’ll need to put the work in when it comes to haircare and upkeep. You’ll need to make a regular appointment with your stylist every 3 months to trim your ends. Choosing the right products can also make a big difference. Try varying your shampoo routine from time to time’.
 
Above all, make sure you listen to what your hair is trying to tell you by analysing how it reacts to different products and treatments. ‘Damaged hair can appear dull, and is often caused by external aggressions. Try not to overload your locks with chemical treatments such as permanent hair colours. Spacing out these treatments will limit damage and encourage your hair to grow faster’.
 
Our advice: Remember that your stylist often knows best and is there to help you. Have a chat with yours to find out which routine you should be following and determine the correct products for your individual hair type.
