Never have a bad hair day again with our ten tips for great hair - all the time.

	Give limp locks a boost by opting for a volumising mousse. The lightweight formula won’t weigh your hair down, giving it more body and extra bounce. We love Matrix Amplify Foam Volumizer, $26.
	Tame unruly strands with a silicon based smoother to fight frizz and impart a sexy, salon-fresh shine. Try John Frieda Frizz-Ease Extra Strength Serum, $23.99.
	Always buy a shampoo and conditioner to suit your hair type and opt for products that target your main concern. For example, if you have fine hair, try variants that won’t weigh your ‘do down, while if your tresses are thick try a more moisturising option.
	Don't stick to the same products for too long as your hair gets used to it. Instead, rotate your favourites to ensure your mane gets maximum benefits.
	A quick and easy way to fake healthy hair is to spritz on a shine spray like Aveda Brilliant Spray-on Shine, $39.95.
	If your blonde bob is starting to look brassier that beautiful switch to a hair-care routine that targets tarnished tendrils, such as Redken Blonde Glam Pure Pearl Color-Activated Treatment, $24.45.
	For a quick and easy solution to an oily scalp, apply Batiste Dry Shampoo, $8.95 to your roots. The powder spray will absorb excess sebum, leaving your locks looking wonderful again.
	Take your look from day to night by adding an antique brooch to your 'do. Your tresses will be transformed in a matter of minutes, plus it adds a whole new reason to hit the shops.
	For sensitive scalps that still require colour why not try an ammonia-free hair dye. The formula’s and colour ranges are as widely available as their ammonia-filled counterparts so now there is no excuse not to try. Our pick? LOreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss, $14.95.
	Banish split ends for good with a protein-filled treatment that aims to restore damage and lock in moisture. Keep an eye out for variants that add shine too like Pantene Pro-V Restore and Renew Deep Fortifying Treatment, $8.99.
