First thing’s first – heat protection

Your hair is exposed to heat every day; central heating and the sun play a big part in damaging your hair, so invest in a good quality protective treatment like FREE SHAPE: hot flex crème. Ideal for coarse or unruly hair, this is the best step in protecting your hair against every heat. Apply this anti-breakage and humidity resistance product to wet hair before drying for smooth, supple hair. against every day heat.
Prefer a spray? Try Free shape hot flex spray on towel dried hair before blow drying. Style as you dry with the product that promises to keep an elastic hold until the next wash.
Beware the old brush
When was the last time you changed your hair brush? Now might be a good time if you can’t remember. And while you’re at it, why not invest in two? Hair is a funny thing – when it’s wet it’s weaker, which is why we use different brushes for wet and dry hair. It reduces breakage and damage to the hair, and, in turn, leads to stronger, healthier hair. Pick up The Wet Brush next time you’re in Tana B and let it work its magic.
Dye-ing for a change?
While it may be tempting to opt for a cheap box of hair dye, the results are never certain and you could end up forking out more for a professional to fix it for you. Skip the first step and come straight to Tana B – we’ll help you choose the right colour for you so you can leave looking and feeling gorgeous. We’ve got the tools and expertise to colour your hair with limited damage. Always have a skin test at least 48 hours before your appointment to make sure you’re okay with our hair dyes, and be brave! We’re hot on bold colours and we love a challenge – so why not go for something different?
Condition, condition, condition
Perhaps the most important step in preventing wear and tear on the hair, conditioning is what makes your hair soft and luscious. Use a deep conditioning treatment 
once a week and you’ll see the difference with softer, silkier, smoother hair. If you’re conscious of locking in your colour, opt for the Goldwell Kerasilk intensive luster mask. Apply to towel dried hair and leave for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. For an all-rounder, choose the KMS free shape deep conditioner.
