I’m about to start a new job in a very corporate environment. I’m okay on the make-up front and have bought a new work wardrobe (yay!) but what can I do with my hair that’s neat and professional, other than a ponytail? Congratulations on the new gig! Now let’s get down to the other important business… more

Thu, 27 September 2012 12:44PM
I’m looking to purchase a new set of hot rollers to create big, sexy curls à la the Victoria’s Secret models. I’ve had my eye on TheO by Cloud Nine, but I know that it is quite expensive. Is the product worth it? Can you suggest any other options? Candice Swanepoel From conical wands, to triple-barrelled tongs,… more

The Brunette-to-Blonde Switcheroo
Fri, 7 September 2012 12:46PM
Why, when you want to lighten hair from brunette to blonde, do hairdressers tell you to do it ‘gradually’? Well, you could go blonde in one hit… Say, a bleach followed by a toner to get the shade of blonde you want. However, not many colourists would recommend this due to the damage it would inflict… more

Making Over Mid-Length Brown Hair
Tue, 7 August 2012 10:44AM
I have thick, naturally dark brown hair which I recently cut to shoulder length. I’m super-bored and after a change. Do you have any suggestions? Sure do! We love playing hairstylist here at PRIMPED.

Grey Matter
Wed, 27 April 2011 3:10PM
I have naturally dark hair but I have a lot of greys coming through and I’m getting tired of colouring it every 3 weeks. Is there something else I can do to touch-up my roots in-between colours? Athena, let’s look on the bright side, you’ve clearly got incredibly healthy hair if it’s growing that quickly,… more

Speed Up Slowcoach Hair
Tue, 12 April 2011 12:27PM
I shaved my long (as in 3/4-of-the-way-down-my-back) hair off for the World’s Greatest Shave. I want to grow it back, but I also want to avoid getting too many trims, without causing split ends. Well, first up, you deserve a HUGE pat on the back for getting behind such a great cause. Going from super long… more

Keep blonde hair in check
Wed, 16 March 2011 10:05AM
I have a toner treatment done every 10 weeks, but my hairdresser suggested I use toning products at home. Can you tell me what products to use? Your hairdresser is one smart cookie, Julie. Coloured hair, in particular bleached hair, requires a little extra maintenance to keep it looking vibrant and golden. If you’re committed… more

Fancy hair, for a fancy schmancy event
Wed, 9 March 2011 3:55AM
I’m going to a charity ball in a few weeks and I’m struggling to find a hairstyle to copy. My dress has a plunging neckline so I’d like something classic, but not too stiff? When it comes to picking a fancy style, it really gets down to the type of dress you’ve chosen and your hair type. While soft waves are eternally pretty, a classic up… more
