There’s no denying 2020 is a strange time for beauty. Regular grooming and pampering sessions at our local haunts have been swapped for DIY face masks and letting the au natural lead the way. While we learn to adapt to the new normal, including morning Zoom meetings and Friday night Houseparty sessions, our hair doesn’t have to be left to the wayside.

Brodie-Lee Tsiknaris, GHD creative artist and owner of Rokstar salon has given us some foolproof tricks to keep your hair game simple and effective during these uncertain times. Because we all know a good hair day can take us from feeling blah to put together in an instant.
Sleek It Back
“You can’t go wrong with a quick straight sleek look,” says Tsiknaris. “It never goes out of fashion and screams sophistication in twenty minutes or less.” Using the ghd platinum+ styler, glide over the front sections of your hair, pull back and spritz with a holding spray. Use your hands to glide the hair into place, and voila! To get the most out of the pulled-back look, before styling spray damp hair with a smart spray such as Living Proof Restore Smooth Blowout Concentrate, which protects hair from heat damage, adds shine and increases the manageability of stubborn frizz.

Invest In Health
“It’s simple really. When your hair looks good, you feel good and in this time of uncertainty feeling good about yourself and spending extra time on you is important,” says Tsiknaris. There’s never been a better time to give your hair some extra TLC, with different hair masks. These treatments are extra powerful and can seriously transform your hair after just one use.

Switch Up Your Hair Schedule
It’s also a great time to shake up your hair washing routine. Try pushing your regularly scheduled washes by a day or two, and trust us your locks will be thanking you. For the days in-between, remember dry shampoo is your hair’s best friend. “Don’t underestimate the power of dry shampooing and a quick blast with your hairdryer. This will give you that beautiful and fresh blown-out look with lots of volume – no matter how dirty your hair is,” says Tsiknaris.
Simply spray dry shampoo onto roots, use your fingers to massage then blast with your hairdryer to soak up any excess oils.
