1 Don’t use too much shampoo

‘People tend to use far too much shampoo,’ says top London stylist Paul Windle. As a general rule, squeeze a 50p-sized amount into wet hands to emulsify it, then pull through the hair. ‘Don’t expect it to lather up because the more dirt and grease you have on your hair, the less chance you’ll get a good lather,’ says Paul. ‘If you want more lather, apply more water – not more product.’
