As hairdressers, we hear your hair concerns on the regular and understand the frustration you can get from troubled tresses. Hair is a clever thing however and has a way of telling us when something isn’t right or when the balance is a little bit off. Here’s our guide to common hair concerns and how to help them.
Split Ends
Split ends occur when the ends of hair become dry, brittle or frayed. This can happen from wear and tear of brushing, drying and other daily hair habits. Luckily we can keep split ends from getting worse and can try to prevent them from occurring in the first place. We have a number of products in the Kérastase Resistance range and the L’Oreal Professional Serie Expert Pro Longer range that can help condition and seal the hair to prevent splitting.
Kérastase Résistance Masque Extentioniste Hair Mask
A hair mask made for soothing damaged lengths and nourishing brittle hair. Amino acids and creatine work to reinforce the hair fibre and seal the hair cuticle.

Another great hair mask for damaged and over-processed hair. Nourishing ingredients strengthen hair fibres and prevent breakage and split ends.

Oily Scalp
Having an oily scalp is a common hair concern for many. Excess sebum can build up in the skin and can travel down the hair shaft, making it feel limp and greasy at the roots. The state of your scalp can have a big impact on your overall hair health, so it’s important to take care of it.
We recommend:

Frizz
Almost everyone has to battle with frizz at some point. Typically, when your hair is damaged or chemically treated the cuticle rises, allowing moisture to enter the strand and create frizz. But never fear, we have a number of products in our Kératese Discipline range, Pureology Smooth Perfection range and L’Oreal L’Oreal Serie Expert Liss Unlimited range to take your hair from frizz to fabulous.

Hair Loss
Hair loss is a frustrating and potentially upsetting hair concern. Most of us will shed a little hair most of the time, but if you are noticing larger quantities of hair falling out then we suggest you investigate what’s behind it. Giving yourself regular treatments at home will help strengthen and save your hair. We suggest the below from the Kératese Discipline range.

Dandruff
Dandruff is a common condition where the skin on the scalp flakes. Although it can be irritating, it is usually minor and easily treated. Dandruff can have a number of causes including dry skin, not shampooing enough causing skin build up, and environmental scalp irritation. Our hair hack for dandruff is the Kératese Spécifique range, designed to support a well-balanced scalp.
Spécifique Bain Anti-Pelliculaire Shampoo
A carefully crafted shampoo made to work for both dry and oily flake dandruff. Hypoallergenic cleanser acts to eliminate scalp impurities and remove visible dandruff for up to 8 weeks.
