Yes your diet can affect your hair the same way it does your nails and skin, so drink plenty of water. Keep your hair regularly cut to reduce and prevent split ends. Brittle and dry hair is not the first sign of hair loss - but if people tell you things like that the worry alone will make it fall out! The short hairs that escape from your ponytail could be a sign of new hair that has grown through or it may be that your hair is wavy and the hair cuticle sits in different directions. To minimise damage, try not to colour your hair too much and use weekly conditioning treatments to keep hair healthy.

This could be down to the shampoo and conditioner you use, if it is too heavy try changing to a cleansing shampoo. If you ever do dry your hair with heat be sure to apply heat protector and speak to your colourist to have a clear gloss added to your hair. This doesn’t alter the colour but adds great shine to it which should help your confidence.

Hi Sahal.
If your hair is changing style as it becomes dry then it is essential to keep it moisturized and nourished using an intense conditioning treatments, there are many to choose from on the supermarket shelves or you could ask your stylist for their professional opinion. You may also like to use a daily leave in conditioner to ensure that there is added daily moisture in your hair. To ensure that your hair stays in place I would recommend that you use a strong hold spray or fixing gel and a fast cool blast with your hairdryer will hold your style in place a little longer.
