FAQ
HAIR BY AKSHI

Hi -,

Today, I’m sharing Akshi's answers to our hair series.

Akshi (@hairbyakshi) is a talented Toronto-based stylist who specializes in curls and texture. I've had the pleasure of getting my hair done by her, and she absolutely nailed it.

We asked her a few questions about her curl care regimen, her approach to overall curl health, and more. Here’s what she had to say:

Q: HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A TRIM?

A: Every 4 months. Think of it as one per season. After 4 months, the haircut is flat, all your layers are grown out and the ends feel dry.

Q: ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COLOUR THEIR HAIR?

A: Make sure you find loads of inspiration pictures (looking at tones, amount of colour you want to see, placements, and also bring in pictures of what you don't want to see). This will help your stylist get your vision.

Be realistic with your hair goals, and make sure you know how to keep your colour maintenance (treatments and when to come back for touch-ups).

Q: WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT HAIR ROUTINE?

A: I wash my hair once a week. My curls pretty much last up to 6 days or so, and on the last day, I usually put my hair up.

I use Oribe curl gloss and style my hair with a Denman brush, and apply Oribe hair mousse over it, for some hold.

I usually diffuse my hair for the first 40% and let air dry for the rest.

I will let it dry 100% and use a texture spray to fluff out my hair. Maybe on the third or fourth day, I will use a serum to help with the frizz.
