Maintaining beautiful, healthy hair between salon visits can sometimes feel like a challenge, but with the right tips and tricks, you can keep your hair looking its best.

Whether you’re trying to preserve your colour, maintain your style, or simply keep your locks healthy, here’s everything you need to know about how to keep your hair in top condition between appointments.

ONE - Choose the Right Products for Your Hair Type

One of the best ways to keep your hair looking great is by using high-quality products tailored to your hair’s specific needs. At Major Hairdressing, we recommend using professional-grade shampoos, conditioners, and styling products like the our own Major Enhance range or Nine Yards range, which is cruelty-free and vegan. Prescription cards are available to help you find the perfect products for your hair type, ensuring it stays nourished and manageable.

TWO - Don’t Overwash Your Hair

Overwashing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to damage. Depending on your hair type, aim to wash your hair 2–3 times a week. If you’re worried about oil buildup, invest in a good dry shampoo to refresh your roots between washes.

THREE - Protect Your Hair from Heat

Heat styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can cause damage over time. Always use a heat protectant spray or cream before styling and try to let your hair air dry whenever possible. For a quick and easy solution, consider an express keratin blow dry, which makes hair more manageable and lasts up to six weeks.

FOUR - Keep Your Scalp Healthy

A healthy scalp is the foundation of great hair. Regularly exfoliate your scalp to remove buildup and stimulate hair growth. At Major Hairdressing, our invigorating scalp massages and bespoke treatments are designed to keep your scalp in optimal condition.

FIVE - Trim Regularly to Avoid Split Ends

Even if you’re growing your hair out, regular trims are essential to prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft. Book an appointment every 6–8 weeks to maintain your hair’s health and shape.

SIX - Preserve Your Colour

If you colour your hair, you’ll want to take extra steps to keep it vibrant. Use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for coloured hair, and avoid overexposure to sunlight, which can cause fading. If you’re short on time, ask about our upcoming shorter colour services for a quick refresh.

SEVEN - Stay Hydrated and Eat Well

Your hair’s health starts from within. Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients promote strong, shiny hair.

EIGHT - Use Hair Masks Weekly

Treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask once a week to restore moisture and repair damage. This is especially important if your hair has been exposed to harsh weather, heat styling, or chemical treatments.

NINE - Brush with Care

Using the wrong brush or brushing too aggressively can lead to breakage. Opt for a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush and always start at the ends, working your way up to the roots.

TEN - Book Your Next Appointment Before You Leave

Finally, the best way to keep your hair looking great is to stay consistent with your salon visits. Book your next appointment before you leave to ensure you’re always one step ahead in your hair care routine.
