When it comes to grooming, people often settle for what looks nice over what is healthy. And when it comes to hair, it is easy to make it look temporarily presentable and overlook the true condition of your locks. Much like your skin, your hair need (read: deserves) pampering and care to look its best, and in turn, make you look better and feel more confident.

"Hair is the ultimate accessory," says Sebastian Scolarici, Hair Stylist at Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon, to the Latin Times. "Whether it looks good or not, it will say so much about you and will affect how others perceive you. Let's face it, we spend hours searching in stores for the right pair of shoes or outfit for the next occasion, why not take care of the one thing that is with you for life."

"The one piece of advice I would tell women is that the further you try to go from what your hair is intended to do the more you will struggle," added Scolarici, who has worked with various celebrities from Giselle Bündchen to Julianna Marguilies. "Learn to love and get to know your hair so you can use the accurate products for your hair type, texture, and color, which will bring out its natural beauty and help make your hair the best it can be. Fighting it will only frustrate you and make you a slave to maintenance."

Regardless of hair type, texture and color, there are some hair battles that are common amongst all women. Scolarici spoke with Latin Times about the four major hair obstacles women face and offered solutions and product recommendations for each one:

Flyaways and Frizz: Flyaways and frizz are related issues, when you find the right products that help combat frizz they will often help you fight flyaways. I highly recommend using John Frieda Frizz Ease Original 6 Effects Serum, whether it’s for straight or curly hair as it contains an exceptional blend of silicones that instantly eliminates frizz and transforms dry, brittle hair into soft, smooth strands.

Limp Hair: Lack of volume is a common problem and I find that what some women do to achieve fullness often ends up weighing hair down. It is very important to not only use the right styling aids but the proper shampoo and conditioner. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo & Conditioner is formulated to help achieve the greatest natural fullness and remove excess oils and product buildup which are often the cause of limp hair.

Heat-Damaged Hair: When using heating tools to style your hair you must find a coat to minimize damage. Always use a product such as John Frieda Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Protecting Spray to help create a barrier between the heat and the hair.

Fading Hair Color: Over time, your color begins to fade and turn off-tone due to routine washing, sun exposure or usage of heat styling tools. A gloss is the easiest way to maintain hair vibrant between salon visits. For this you can easily use something at home like John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss, which has a technology that refreshes hair’s vibrancy in between colorings by replenishing lost tones so your color looks fresh, like first-day color.
