How do I define my curls without the crunchiness of mousse or hairspray?
If the crunchiness of curls isn’t really your thing it’s definitely time to explore your options. Hairspray and mousse usually contain high amounts of alcohol, which dry hair out. Moisture is a key to softly defined curls, so make sure your styling products hydrate while helping you achieve your desired look. While serums are optimal for smoothing hair, they may not deliver the defined curl you’re looking for. A creme texture, such as Frédéric Fekkai Pot de Crème ($30, at Shoppers Drug Mart), will impart moisture in hair thanks to the high content of shea butter, making soft, touchable curls totally achievable.

Why do I love my hair colour in the summer but not in the winter? I colour it the same shade all year!
In the winter, we’re affected by more than a drop in temperature: our skin washes out due to the lack of sun, we wear darker colours, and we spend way more time indoors. These things considered, it makes sense for your beloved colour to appear lackluster during the cooler months. So how best to combat a dull dye? Brighten your complexion by boosting your shade a few notches.

I used to have dark hair but it’s turning grey—should I invest the time and money to dye it regularly, or embrace the change and go grey with grace?
Keep it! Grey hair is totally on trend—Kristen McMenamy recently wore it on the cover of Italian Vogue. Besides, we’re calling bluff on the common complaint that grey hair is more coarse and brittle than its pigmented cousin—softness and manageability comes with proper care, and that begins in the shower.
