Do not cut your own hair: It may be trending on the likes of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube however, this is not a trend we recommend experimenting with; there are too many ways in which this activity can go wrong. Instead of giving your overgrown fringe a botchy chop, try dabbling in the world of hair clips and headbands.
Be wise with home hair colour: While we always recommend an appointment with your hair professional, there are certainly some great options if regrowth or greys become wildly apparent! Don’t go racing out to your local supermarket or pharmacy, I repeat don’t go racing out to your local supermarket or pharmacy.

Use hair oils: You may be thinking “the reason I wash my hair is to get rid of oil” … But while you’re bored in the house is the perfect time to add them to your routine. Oils are a well-rounded treatment for your hair and host a range of benefits for every hair type. Not only do they provide nourishment and hydration, but they also seal the cuticle down, are a great lubricant for detangling and act as a heat protectant. Apply and wear one as a hair mask while you complete an at home workout or apply to towel-dried hair after it’s been washed.
Lessen your heat styling and blow drying: With restaurants, pubs, clubs, retail outlets and parties cancelled, now is the perfect time to give your hair the holiday it deserves (away from heat tools). There’s simply no need to wreak the havoc that heat tools cause on your hair to watch Netflix or work from home. Use this time as a much-needed hair straightener, curler, hair dryer detox and your soon-to-be luscious locks will be thanking you.
