If
you are tired of brushing your hair in the morning then we have good news. It's
really bad for you.
That's what celebrity
hairdresser George Northwood believes anyway.
Northwood, whose clients
include Alicia Vikander, Alexa Chung, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is urging
women to ditch the early morning brushing routine as it is ruining your great
hair.
Speaking to Vogue, Northwood revealed the damage that the simple act
of running a brush through your hair can do.
He is quoted as saying: Never, ever brush in
the morning. For one thing it
leads to frizz, and secondly there's always an element of mechanical damage. Use your fingers and
you'll be able to feel out any tangles,
You're probably saying
"This is all well and good George, but how am I supposed to make myself
look presentable now?"
Luckily he has a solution,
which involves some planning the night before but will leave you looking great.
You want to make sure
hair is really smooth and completely dry and then pull it into a tight, neat
bun at the nape of the neck. It has to be the nape
otherwise you won't sleep.
You need to take the
hair and twist it all in the same direction before pinning it into place - no
scrunching or going in the opposite direction.
In the morning, undo
the bun and then smooth through an oil or serum to combat any errant hairs.
Finally, he adds: If you're looking for
a very sleek finish like the Veronica Lake style, run a Mason Pearson brush
across the hair's surface just once.
All those extra minutes in
the morning taking care of your hair before rushing out the door should now be
a thing of the past, leaving you to enjoy an extended lie-in.
