Hi Frankie

I am trying to grow my hair for my wedding next August and I wonder if there are any products that you can recommend that will help speed this up and strengthen my hair. Naturally my hair is very curly but for the past 7 years have straightened it daily with hair straightners and have also used a chemical straightnign products on it.

As a result it is super frizzy, weak, split and damaged. I am now trying to wear my hair up more so as not to straighten it, however it seems that just as it is growing a bit, the ends split and I have to get it all chopped off to stop it looking so terrible.

Please help me have beautiful wedding day hair.

Hi Frankie,

I have quite curly, dull, mid length dark hair. It is quite coarse and I seem to be suffering from some split ends.

I would dearly love to have glossy, shiny hair for my wedding (like Courtney Cox) but don't know what to do to achieve this!

I am intending to have my hair in a low bun, swept to one side with a birdcage veil and some sparkly bits in the bun but I am worried about the dreaded frizzy bits appearing on the top of my head and sound the sides

Please help me achieve lovely glossy hair - am on a bit of a tight budget like most brides!

Thank you x

Hi Frankie,

Like Boopy07, I have really curly hair. It's in pretty good condition but has always been frizzy, especially if it's wet or humid. I want to wear it down and naturally curly for my wedding but want to try and stop the frizz attacks! I've heard a lot about permanent blowdrys and my friend (who has straight ish hair) had it done and it looks fab. Could it help get rid of the frizz from my hair or will it just iron out the curls? I'm confused! I don't want to spend the money if it's going to flatten my hair.

Thanks

Can you recommend some nice updos that leave some hair round your face without looking too messy? (Updos not half-up half-down, summer bride with frizz issues...)

I am having real trouble finding an updo that doesn't pull all my hair back in a harsh chignon and would look good with a fingertip veil and headpiece (Flo & Percy gin sling headband). Help?!

Good afternoon everyone,

I’m Frankie, Style Director at Daniel Galvin in Central London and I spend many of my Saturdays in the salon creating beautiful hairdos for my bridal clients.

Weddings are so stressful, the last thing you want is for your hair to be an added source of anxiety. The most important thing, in my opinion is to get your hair in good condition prior to your Big Day and have a really good idea of what you want your hair to look like: it’s a good plan to have a few practices with your hairdresser beforehand.

So please feel free ask me anything hair-related - whether you have issues with your condition, you don’t know which style will go with your dress or you want to find the best ‘do to go under your veil, I will be happy to help out in any way that I can.

Best,

Hi Lucy,

Straightening is notoriously bad for the hair – it weakens & damages it & it’s a vicious cycle as the hair becomes more & more fizzy and unmanageable, as you have discovered.

There are lots of fantastic products out there which will help to remedy this issue. I would recommend coming into the salon & having our Keratin treatment. It’s strengthening, it restructures your hair, will tame the frizz & leave your locks looking glossy & sleek.

As for products to use on a daily basis, I would recommend using Bain de Force by Kerastase to shampoo your hair & their Ciment Anti-Usure as your conditioner. Also I would recommend doing a weekly masque. I also have a great belief in ‘Phyto’ Hair & Nail vitamin formula. I have seen great results in my clients over the past few years.

Make sure you have small, regular cuts every 8 weeks and by next August you should have beautiful, long, glossy hair leaving you free to enjoy your day!
