"I tell all my brides your body needs sleep, a healthy diet and you must keep hydrated for your hair and skin to look it's very best. To revive your hair for the big day, I recommend using a deep moisturising water-based hair mask treatment once a week. Curly hair needs a bit more effort taking small sections, twisting and gripping them to your head to control those luscious curls.

For flaky scalps use a hair mask with an anti-fungal ingredient which exfoliates away the dead skin and soothes inflammation. For dull hair a clarifying shampoo is a great choice as it includes a tea tree ingredient to cleanse your hair. After washing with shampoo and conditioner follow up with a leave-in conditioner which will seal in the moisture with shea butter. I would always recommend working it two inches from the root. Don't wash your hair every day, let the natural oils work their magic.

I'd recommend you change your pillow to a satin-based cover this will help reduce any frizz and helps prolong the moisture for shiny-looking locks. Don't go to bed with wet hair or allow hair to air dry, as hair is at its weakest when wet, breakage and frizz can be a long term correction.Always spritz on the heat protection spray before styling irons or blow-drying, I cannot stress this enough, be kind to your hair! Lastly, have regular trims at the salon every six to eight weeks will help your hair look it's very best."
