JUST because your hair is hidden under a woolly hat or tucked into a thick scarf most of the time these days that doesn't mean it should be ignored.

Regular at home treatments can tame frizzy tresses and using the right products after a trip to the stylist can pay dividends in the long run.

"When you step out of the salon with gorgeously glossy and beautiful, healthy-looking hair the professional products the stylist has used play a big part in achieving the end result," explains Suzie McGill, creative director at Rainbow Room International.

"Using high-quality professional products that compliment the hair give a professional result. When you are in the salon ask your stylist what products they are using and why - your stylist should talk you through how to recreate the look at home with the products.

"Three key products to have in your haircare routine at home are a great cleansing shampoo, something that gently cleanses the hair without stripping it of its natural moisture like our Holiday Hair Shampoo which is sulphate- free, great leave-in conditioner is a must if you're trying to recreate a glossy salon blow-dry, and a luxurious weekly treatment to help repair and restore the hair. I recommend our The Worx treatment as it has a small amount of keratin in it to help rebuild and restore the hair."

Give your locks a deep treatment with John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque, £5.99 from Boots. It visibly repairs and fortifies dry, damaged and frizzy hair and protects against breakage in future. Hair is left moisturised, silky and shiny, thanks to added avocado oil.
