Managing your new hair do at home can be tricky, but remember that hairdressers have trained for years to get your hair to look great. It’s always a good idea to watch the way your hair is being styled in the salon; how it’s being blow dried and what brushes are being used. Be sure to ask what products are being applied to your hair so that you too can also achieve the same effect at home.

BOB: This relatively high maintenance cut looks best when it’s dead straight and shiny. That means careful blow drying after every wash to iron out any kinks or waves. Use a large round brush and blow dryer to smooth hair, section by section, from the crown to the base of the neck. Gently curl hair under to finish.

FLIP: After washing, towel dry hair and massage styling mousse through your hair while it is still damp. Set the whole head in velcro rollers. Once it is dry to the touch, remove the rollers, tip your head upside down and blast with a blow dryer. Then use a round brush to work the ends of the hair into a loose flip. Use a teasing comb to add lift at the crown and then, using your fingers, separate the layered section in tousled tendrils.

LAYERS: Apply a silicone based product such as hair glass to damp, towel dried hair. Use a low heat setting and a diffuser to straighten the hair. Tip your head upside down and focus heat of the dryer on the crown and root section. Tip head back up and use a paddle brush to smooth fly away pieces into place. Make a side parting and tease the crown section to create a back combed look.

CROP: The most effortless style to maintain, this cut is completely wash and go. If you want to straighten wavy hair, use a blow dryer and a large, round brush to pull the curl out of the hair, section by section. Smooth the back section in the same manner, turning small sections of hair under and into the neck.

FRINGE: Use a blow dryer and a large, bristled brush to create a sleek, straight line. Once dry, place a small velcro roller in the fringe and blast it with hot air. Remove the roller and finger ruffle your fringe. Finish off with a silicone based product such as hair glass as this will reduce frizz and add shine.

CURLS: Massage a curl enhancing product through the length of the hair, concentrating on the roots. Tip head upside down and allow a low heat dryer to warm the curl as you scrunch them into place.
