Dry hair? Itchy scalp? Your hair questions, answered!

A while ago we shared with our readers the exciting news that in exchange for your hair dilemma questions, we would be giving one lucky lady a hair makeover, thanks to David Gillson of Carlton hair.

Second and third prizes were also up for grabs,  because we like to spoil our readers!

But the best part? Anyone who wrote in can be assured they’ll get the advice they’re so desperately looking for, but can’t always afford.

Yup, stylist to the stars, David Gillson is at your service.

Due to the large number of questions we received, we’ve decided to group your questions into categories.


The biggest issues amongst our readers were:

•    Hair loss
•    Colour
•    Style
•    Hair condition/texture and scalp issues
•    Grey hair
•    Brazilian treatments

So, if you wrote in, click on the issue that’s relevant to you.

But please remember, while David is a super stylist, he isn't miracle worker and doesn’t literally have all the answers.

Therefore, he has tried to answer everyone’s questions in the most general and all encompassing manner.

If you feel that you’d like more information, we suggest finding a stylist who you trust, and going to them for a consultation. Most hair salons should offer this service for free, before making you pay for a treatment/cut/colour.

Many of the questions we received were also very much health related – especially when it came to hair loss. Please remember that hair loss can be caused by a range of factors and often hormones, genes or lifestyle choices are to blame.  

We’ll be announcing the winner and 2nd and 3rd prize soon. Keep your eyes on the site and on Women24's Facebook and Twitter.
