We’ve called on the brilliant hairstylist and brand owner of OUAI, Jen Atkin, to share her tips on at-home hair upkeep – from how to trim your own fringe and maintain your blonde, to styling chic top knots for conference calls. Plus, how to get that perfect fade sans barber (as modelled by Jen’s husband, Mike).
How can you maintain coloured hair and stop blonde going brassy?
I would avoid trying to touch up the bleach regrowth and just keep your blonde toned by using purple or blue shampoos – they keep the coolness of your blonde intact and avoid the roots getting brassy. Use it once or twice a week, and you should see your hair sustain its blonde a little longer. Also, we’re all in this together, so go easy on yourself if you’re not feeling like your best blonde self right now!
Any recommendations for helping with hair growth?
I’ve been taking the OUAI supplements on and off for years, but I’ve taken them every day since our time at home started, and I absolutely see the difference. My hair feels thicker and fuller than ever before, which complements the sweat suits I’ve been wearing for approximately 30 days straight.
