What is it about salon-fresh hair that leaves it so swishy, bouncy and glorious? Even if you’re not booked in for a razzy blow dry, the wash alone leaves hair both silkier and more voluminous. How?

It's a question I put to my stylist recently (because I'm guessing you all want to know). "Is there a 'right way' to wash your hair, because whenever I do it myself at home, it never ends up with as much oomf or polish?" Her answer was interesting: “Most people who come to the basin have lovely, clean hair on top, then when you reach the mid-section of the crown and the bottom, it takes a bit longer to work through because it’s not been washed as thoroughly.” Huhh.
