From dry to damaged, take our quiz to get locks you will love based on hair type

DRY, damaged, oily and hard-to-style hair could be caused by a range of things – including your hair colour and how stressed you are.

But depending on your hair type, trichologist Anabel Kingsley says you can solve all these evils just by washing it at the right time of the week.

And she adds: “Just like with your skin, everyone’s hair is completely different.

“As a rule of thumb, try not to choose a shampoo that is for normal, oily or dry hair, as your idea of normal may be totally different to someone else’s normal.”
