I’m getting married soon and I need a sophisticated style to suit my mid-length hair and long face. What do you suggest for an elegant look on an older bride?

We would suggest maybe wearing your hair down, as an up-do could emphasise the features of a long face. To balance your features, I recommend wearing a style that has some width at the sides. Start by blow drying your hair and set onto velcro rollers for a volumous, full bodied look. To add some glitz, take a decorative comb or flowers and sweep the hair away from your face at the sides. This will help to create width and give you a gorgeous bridal style.

I’d like to dye my mousy brown hair but I’m not sure which colour would suit my dark features best?

Often with dark features, you can go either way with your colour,If you decide to go blonde then I would be guided by the golden tones of Latina beauties like Jennifer Lopez or Jessica Alba. If you are thinking of brunette shades then I would look at celebs with a similar skin tone to yourself. Celebrity trends are a great way to see what’s hot and what’s not as they’re always at the forefront of hair fashion.

I have long,thick curly hair like Leona Lewis. How can I get her gorgeous and defined curls?

There is no reason why you would not be able to have her gorgeous hair,you just need to know how to manage your hair type. It will take practise, so practise on an evening when your staying in, because if it goes wrong you have nothing to worry about. You can start by using a moisturising shampoo and conditioner, we would re command Paul Mitchell Super Strong System. Then gently towel-dry your hair and apply a smoothing styling product again we would recommend Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. When  use a large round brush, once smoothed section by section,wrap your hair in big velcro rollers. Once set take the rollers out and brush through, letting it fall back into lovely curls. The secret to this style is the preparation ands if done well the style will last. So really is worth the effort.

I’ve heard crimping is back, but I’m worried that it will be damaging to my coloured locks?

Yes crimping can be damaging as your applying the heat directly to the hair. I suggest only using your crimpers for special occasions, make sure you use heat protection, like the GHD Thermal Protection spray. This will help to keep your hair hydrated and full of shine. Why not treat your hair to a treatment the Paul Mitchell Super Charge conditioner is great for adding moisture if your worried about damaging your hair.

I have a itchy scalp which is scaly at the front. I’ve tried sulphate – free shampoo’s but they ’ seem to help?

It sounds as though you have a form of scalp flaking either psoriasis capitis or borderline seborrhoeic dermatitis. They are both relatively easy to clear up but sulphate free shampoo wont do this. Try using itchy scalp  shampoos which will help to condition. If the flakes are very resistant try a stronger treatment.

Quick Hair Tip

Never start by brushing wet hair from the scalp. Use a wide-toothed comb and gently detangle by starting at the ends and working your way up!!!!
