If you don't know what to do — do nothing. Many people may feel the temptation to grab some scissors or a box dye and have a go themselves but this is definitely NOT the answer.

In addition to causing you a world of regret, it will end up costing you more money post-lockdown, with your stylist having to try and rectify it. Rather use this time to give your hair a break.

While not picking up your hairdryer and straightening tools for a few weeks while you're at home may be good for your hair, falling behind on regular washing is not.

If, like me, you find your hair dry at the moment due to a combination of having bleached hair and 24-hour bed-head hair (thanks to Netflix and chill), the Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner by Label.m is ideal.

Providing specialist care for blonde hair, the Brightening Shampoo works to instantly brighten your hair, while enhancing tonal reflection and neutralising unwanted brassy tones. With a moisturising and nourishing formula that prevents dryness, tangling and breakage, the multi-tasking shampoo has an Enviroshield Complex to extend the life of your colour and provide protection against frizz, humidity and UV rays.

The Label.m Brightening Blonde Conditioner infuses moisture and gradually lightens and brightens, while nourishing to combat dryness and tangling. Botanical toners including Mamaki Tea & Custard Apple prevent brassiness and oxidation while Starfruit, rich in vitamins B and C, aids collagen formation and strengthens the hair shaft from roots to ends.
