Five cash-saving tips to go longer without a trip to hairdresser’s
NEED to trim the cost of your haircut?
A trip to a gent’s barber’s will likely cost around £15, while an appointment at a hairdresser’s will come in at a whole load more.
But you can cut the price of getting your locks done, and go longer between visits with these tricks . . .
REPAIR YOUR HAIR: Double-shampooing should keep hair cleaner for longer, which means less damage from heat-styling and drying, according to haircare brand Living Proof.
The first shampoo should get rid of the dirt and product build-up that is attatched to your hair, while the second one will deep-clean the roots and scalp.

You can get Batiste Clean & Classic Original Dry Shampoo for £2 instead of £3 at Asda right now.
SLEEP AND TREAT: Stop hair breaking while you sleep, by using a silk or satin pillowcase.
Marks & Spencer sells a silk pillowcase for £29.50 but the Kitsch satin one is £15 at boots.com and claims to reduce breakage, and helps banish frizz.
