Shower at night? 🚿 You might be accidentally causing frizz and breakage without realizing it!

Many of my clients in West Sussex ask if they should air-dry or blow-dry before hitting the pillow. The truth is, hair is at its most fragile when wet.

In our latest blog post, I’m sharing my professional tips for "Healthy Bedtime Hair," including:

✅ Why "Microfiber" is your hair's best friend.
✅ The truth about damp hair and scalp health.
✅ Why I recommend a silk pillowcase for everyone.

Keep those tresses healthy and wake up with less frizz! 💁‍♀️✨

Are boar bristle brushes good for your hair? 🤔

Boar bristle brushes aren’t right for everyone; for many hair types, they can actually cause friction and breakage. Healthy hair starts with the right tools, not trends ✨

Can You Get an NHS Referral for a Trichologist?

No. You cannot be referred to a trichologist on the NHS.

Trichology sits outside the NHS framework and is considered specialist private hair and scalp care. While a GP can refer you to an NHS dermatologist for hair loss, there is no referral pathway for trichological consultations.

Finding the right conditioner isn’t about choosing the trendiest bottle; it’s about matching ingredients and formulation to your hair type. Fine hair needs volume without heaviness, curly hair needs moisture and definition, and sensitive scalps; they do not need conditioner touching the scalp at all!

Trichologist Shuna Hammocks expertly explains how conditioners work, which formulations suit different hair textures, and when to seek professional advice for persistent dryness or excessive shedding.

The Scientific Truth About Daily Hair Washing and Scalp Health

If you exercise or sweat frequently, daily hair washing is usually healthier than leaving sweat and oil on the scalp. Clean roots support a calm, comfortable scalp environment, and hair growth happens inside the follicle; washing does not slow it down. Use a gentle cleanser on the scalp and focus conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends to prevent dryness.

A trichologist bridges the gap between hairdressing and medicine. My role is to identify what is truly going on, refer you quickly when needed, teach you exactly how to care for your scalp and hair, and, where appropriate, ensure your plan aligns with GP or Dermatology advice.

Should I Trust Argan Oil for My Hair? A Consultant Trichologist’s Perspective

Argan oil can improve shine, softness, and reduce frizz, especially for dry, coarse, or curly hair. However, not all argan oil products are equal, and results depend on your hair and scalp type, as well as the amount of sun or heat exposure after application. If you are on a sunny holiday, please refrain from using any oil at all. For best results, use 100% pure, cold-pressed argan oil only on the lengths, not the scalp.

If you’re dealing with hair loss or breakage, a personalised consultation is essential.
