Get camera-ready hair with these five quick fixes

1. Split ends and breakage

Take a proactive approach to this pesky problem with regular trims. Another hot tip? Any time you use a heated tool for styling, prep your tresses with a protective treatment that works with the warm temps to seal and strengthen your hair cuticle.

Pantene Pro-V Heat Potion Serum, $9, Shoppers Drug Mart. 

2. Staticky strands

As the dry, cold weather sets in, add a smoothing product to your routine. Ingredients like silicon and botanical oils help fight frizz and boost shine, without weighing down your style. A little goes a long way and can even be used dry (just stick to the lower half of your hair).

Wella Reflections Smoothing Oil with vitamin E, $34, available at professional salons across Canada.

3. Dry, damaged hair

Make a hair mask your new BFF. These nourishing leave-in treatments are like a trip to the salon without ever leaving your couch. Look for strengthening antioxidant ingredients that help regenerate, soften and improve the health of your locks.

4. Greasy roots

If you haven’t yet given dry shampoo a go, you don’t know what you’re missing. A spray of this wonder product refreshes greasy locks for one, but it also adds grip to clean hair when it’s too soft and slippery to style. We’re totally hooked!

5. Dull, colour-treated hair

Stick to shade-smart products to amp up the shine and bring vibrancy back to your dye job. From shampoo to leave-in treatments, the right regimen can help fight fading and give you a couple of extra weeks before you need to re-colour.
