BEAUT Y ▲ both hair loss and hair thinning - and will often improve the general appearance of the hair. 'We have a regime product called Trichotherapy (£120, www. philipkingsley.co.uk) that combats hair loss and thinning using a regimen based on clinical treatments. 'It contains drops that stimulate the follicle, a nutritional supplement that encourages growth from within and a strengthening spray to reduce hair loss caused by breakage.' Q HOW DO I KEEP MY COLOURED HAIR LOOKING AND FEELING GOOD FOR LONGER? Top stylist Richard Ward has these tips: Keep your hair colour fresh for as long as possible with a colour-speciﬁc shampoo and conditioner. These have special ingredients to help maintain and lock in your colour, extending its life and minimising fade. Just like skin, during the warmer months covering up your hair is essential to avoid excessive colour fade. Wear a hat or spritz a hairspeciﬁc SPF product (like Kerastase Soleil Micro-Voile Protecteur, £19.50, www.richardward.com) over the hair to help preserve colour and condition. Tackle lost sheen with in-salon clear gloss colour in between full colour appointments; this adds depth and tone, making the cuticle reﬂect light and increasing shine. Your colour will only look as good as your hair condition, so treat it to an intensive mask once a week for 15 minutes to help restore any lost moisture and shine. Keep the number of times you wash your hair per week to a minimum to avoid colour fading more quickly - twice a week is ideal. Q I'VE HEARD THAT BOTOX INJECTIONS CAN GIVE YOU A NECK LIFT. IS THIS TRUE? 'Botox treatments work by relaxing muscles and the chief muscle in the neck, called the platysma, is responsible for drawing the neck downwards along the jawline, as well as forming bands that can be seen vertically when they contract,' says plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover, who > THIN CHIN Fat builds up at places where there is no physical activity. Exercises which stretch your neck muscles will in time, therefore, help keep a double chin at bay. Q IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET RID OF A DOUBLE CHIN? I HAVE A POUCH OF FAT THERE EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT OVERWEIGHT. 'Coolsculpting, where the fat is permanently removed by freezing it, can be enough for a lot of people,' says Dr Tracy Mountford. It costs from £800 (www.coolsculpting.co.uk). 'The treatment takes around 45 minutes to treat the double chin,' says Dr Mountford. 'It may feel a little uncomfortable as the area is drawn into the applicator. Some patients experience a few minutes of stinging when the device is removed, but this is short-lived. 'You may also experience numbness in the days after treatment and perhaps light bruising, which is perfectly normal. Most patients achieve impressive long-term results by six to eight weeks.' www.athomemagazine.co.uk NOVEMBER 2016 | 121 http://www.richardward.com http://philipkingsley.co.uk http://www.coolsculpting.co.uk http://www.athomemagazine.co.uk
