    Q. Not sure if this is a dark hair problem or even just my hair type, but after I wash and style my hair, I feel like sometimes it attracts a lot of dust! Are there any specific products or hair tools that can help with this?

    “I would recommend trying to style your hair when damp and then do not brush or comb it afterwards. If you need to restyle your hair, use your fingers when possible. You may also want to steer clear of mousse or a wet gel product as these sit on the scalp and may make you feel self-conscious. Try only applying products to the mid-lengths and ends of the hair.” - Barney Martin, Pantene Hair Expert & Owner of Barney Martin Hair Salon

    Q. What’s the best shampoo for oily hair or more broadly, what ingredients should I be avoiding in shampoos if my hair feels and gets oily the day after washing it?

    “For oily hair, it is best to use a gentle cleansing shampoo to help avoid the production of too much oil. Try dry shampoo like the Pantene Pro-V Volume Booster Dry Shampoo to give a longer break between washes. Not only does it absorb unwanted oil, but it will also provide texture and recreate a sense of thick hair. Also, use conditioner sparingly as this will also make hair feel limp and lifeless.” - Barney Martin, Pantene Hair Expert & Owner of Barney Martin Hair Salon

    Q. What are some good hairstyles for round/chubby faces? Is it ok to cut your hair short if you have a chubby face and super thick wavy hair?

    “For rounder faces, a softer or longer style around the jaw is better suited. Stay away from full fringes and short layers around the face which will emphasise this shape. For an oblong face, try a side-swept fringe to make the face look less long. Super thick, wavy hair can be tricky as it tends to not sit as well as straight hair when short. Shorter hairstyles will make hair look thicker than if it is long, so those with wavy, curly hair should stick to a slightly longer style.” - Barney Martin, Pantene Hair Expert & Owner of Barney Martin Hair Salon

    Great tips!

    Many people are nowadays suffering from hair related problems due to various issues. Dandruff, hair fall, dust, and other issues are really making the people into more stress. Following healthy food diets and using the natural remedies will give the best results to the hair growth. Few men are using the anti-hair fall medicine to regrowth their hair. http://www.angelmeds.com/generic-propecia-online.html

    I have used the Batiste cherry scent on my hair before and would highly recommend it.

    I agree with girls with curly hair to leave their hair long!

    Temporary Princess 21 Dec 2015 8:15 PM

    I do like trying different brands of dry shampoos, so I might have to pick some of that Pantene up.

    I have never heard of dusty hair before!

    clearcrystalwater 3 Dec 2015 4:58 PM

    I won't be cutting my hair short around my face then - don't want to make my face look chubbier and it does have a tendency to look a bit chunky if my hair is shorter around my chin.

    sporty_ytl 12 Feb 2016 9:11 PM

    Same situation here.

    Mandy_1987 3 Dec 2015 4:53 PM

    Yep Q3 is helpful for me. Good to know about the fringe being bad as i have been debating about it!

    Nas007 3 Dec 2015 2:37 PM

    Yeah my question (2)was answered. Thanks BH and Barney Martin. I really need to buy a gentle cleansing shampoo and good dry shampoo.

    Jessica712 3 Dec 2015 9:18 AM

    Q3 is super helpful tips for me as a round face.

    Beautybabe140194 3 Dec 2015 1:00 AM

    Don't really have the above problems but I liked reading how to cut my hair to suit my face.

    duality 2 Dec 2015 7:12 PM

    yes agree with the keep curly hair longer, mine is an unmanageable birds nest on the few occasions I've had it shorter, just doesn't sit well unless it's long

    My oily hair stays cleaner longer when I use deep cleansing shampoo. I really love that hair pic, but I can't help thinking it looks like a string of Kegel balls.

    I have that dust problem . After brushing with bristle brush and later run my hand over the bristles, I shake off the dust! Not dandruff as I don't have any, but dust! Is it static that attracts it?

    nwhincup 1 Dec 2015 2:41 PM

    Soo many good tips.. if only I could remember them all!

    Linda_Vesinger 1 Dec 2015 3:35 AM

    Question one is an issue I've not heard of before either

    ray_jay 1 Dec 2015 3:32 AM

    Dusty hair that's a new interesting one

    MelissaFay89 1 Dec 2015 12:09 AM

    The dust is a strange problem, I have never came across that before

    Karen_Bubbles 30 Nov 2015 9:12 PM

    Definitely agree with keeping curly hair longer, but what are the best cuts for fine/thin hair?

    Pink_Sugar 30 Nov 2015 2:48 PM

    Omg I thought I was the only one was dusty hair! My hair brush accumulates a lot of lint and I always thought it was from my bedding. I don't use many styling products just serum.
