Q. How do you prevent split ends?
I recommend regular trims every six weeks and also a salon conditioning treatment. Home hair care is crucial to maintaining hair condition. Try Kms Daily Fixx shampoo and reconstructor. The Turnstylr Back to Life revival crème is an effective moisturiser for hair and helps keep the cuticles smooth - a must have for any Summer hair care regimen.

Q. How do you make curly hair shine?
Try a semi permanent colour to replace lost shine. The shade doesn't need to be a drastic change from your existing colour but will help even out the tone. The Kms Curl Up Regime and particularly the Shampoo, and Curl Quencher promote moisture which will enchance shine by closing the hair cuticle which increases shine. Turnstylr Head Wetter will give instant shine with one simple spritz.

Brad Ngata Hair Direction is located at 275 Goulburn St, Darlinghurst, NSW 2010.
