A LITTLE

Do You Have Long Or Short Hair?
1. LONG

● Forget the overly straight, rebonded hair of the early noughties. We love how glossy Nicki Minaj’s super sleek tresses look. A centrepart can be tricky to pull off, but it’s one of the few styles that work well with stick-straight hair. Plus, it can help add interest and brings symmetry to the face too.

● Keeping the frizzies at bay is a breeze with the John Frieda Frizz Ease Oil Elixir, $16.90. Its non-greasy formula adds shine for visibly healthier-looking hair. It also absorbs pretty quickly too, so oil naysayers needn't worry about this weighing your tresses down or causing an unwanted 'wet' look.

● Grow out your lob! This super versatile hairstyle has been spotted on everyone from Alexa Chung to Karlie Kloss—and for good reason. Besides being the perfect length to have if you’re still on the fence about whether to grow it out or chop it off, it looks stellar with a balayage a la Cara Delevingne.

● Hate how quickly dyed hair seems to lose its freshfrom- the-salon shine? Protect your mane with a colour shampoo like the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Colour Protecting Moisturising Shampoo, $15.90. It’ll help stop the pesky bleed and keep hair hydrated without looking limp.

● If you haven’t jumped onto the rainbow hair bandwagon yet (and assuming you’re working in a pretty relaxed environment)— what are you waiting for? Take a chance and go bold like Jessie J’s full pastel pink! But for baby steps, try ‘subtler’ highlights in purple, maroon and navy blue.

● Besides your usual colour shampoo, treat your tresses to a masque at least once a week with the John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner, $15.90. Containing deeply nourishing Incha Inchi oils, it helps to revamp chemically-treated or overstyled hair back to swinging perfection.

● The only way is up with this hair-raising style! Inspired by bad boy James Dean, Miley Cyrus and Scarlett Johansson are some of the stars who have taken the pompadour and made it their own. Besides adding a little bit of edge to your look, it also brings the focus to a sculpted jawline.

● Humidity can be an enemy if height is what you want. Give fine strands a little boost with the John Frieda Luxurious Volume All- Day Hold Hairspray, $16.90. Use it as an all-over thickener if you want more body to give the staying power you need, or apply it to the roots for a more targeted lift.
