3 Genius Ways to Have Gorgeous Hair Throughout This Season!

Whether it's reinvigorating your hair after the Summer sun, or getting a completely new look this Autumn, read on for our expert tips...

1. DEAL WITH THE SUMMER HAIR HANGOVER

I promise, in a year, hair will be longer – and look healthy.'He also suggests challenging yourself, or your hairdresser, to style your hair differently. Invest in curling tongs to give yourself a looser, fashionably undone wave, or use irons to deal with kinks that always annoy you.
