Now that you have a little more time on your hands, you may fancy leaving your locks to dry naturally. If you want to speed up the process and dry your hair using a blow-dry, use a low heat and your soft bristled brush to get to all strands. Once dry, style your locks into a style that suits you, but remember, 100% human hair and memory hair should only be heated up to 160 degrees.

If you have fibre extensions, avoid any heated styling methods. You are able to use styling products on your extensions but using sparingly and don’t apply to roots or bonds.

“While your hair is wet, take your trusty soft bristle brush and gently begin to brush your hair starting at the ends, moving to mid lengths and finally to the roots.”.

This will ensure the hair does not snag or catch and will leave the hair shiny and in optimum condition.

• Brushing your extensions If you are anything like us, you’ll be mildly obsessed with brushing your extensions. Whilst plenty of brushing will keep your extensions in good condition and stop them from getting tangled, you can make a small change to your brush, which will ensure your extensions stay in great condition. Our top recommendation for brushing, is to use a Balmain soft bristle brush. This will ensure the hair does not snag or catch and will leave the hair shiny and in optimum condition.
• Photoaging: There’s enough evidence to suggest the sun prematurely ages our skin that scientists have actually coined the term ‘photoaging’ to account for this phenomenon. The same principle applies to other harmful UV rays, such as those emitted from indoor tanning beds, so be sure to avoid these as well.
• Skin Care: This kind of goes without saying, but it should still be noted. Since mature skin is more fragile, trauma can have larger effects. And while there isn’t much evidence on the impact of how you apply your skin care products, studies have found that pressing your face against a pillow as you sleep can cause permanent ‘sleep wrinkles’.

Follow a healthy skin care regimen to minimise the signs of ageing and maintain your best beautiful skin for longer. Of course, if you feel you’re in need of expert help and advice worth listening to you should definitely choose Rush Beauty Services; our stylists will be happy to offer some professional guidance on how to achieve anti-ageing results that leave your skin looking both radiant and smooth.
