YOUR HAIR IN 3 WORDS
Greasy yet frazzled
WASH ROUTINE
Every 2/3 days or I get the dreaded greasy fringe
HOW/WHY DIZZIAK
I give myself a full facial in the bath every Sunday, and I leave the deep conditioner in through the whole process. The scent is all part of the ritual, I’m so relaxed when I wash it out, and my hair stays silky all week
A SWEAR-BY TIP
If your roots are on the greasy side like mine, try to avoid letting your hair air dry. As unappealing as it is in hot weather, blow drying your hair will help it stay oil-free for longer
GO-TO HAIRSTYLE
I have an undercut at the front so when I put it up in a top-knot, it makes me look tough!
GREAT HAIR MEMORY
I miss being a teenager and doing crazy hair experiments – shaving, dying, bleaching, not worrying about the (usually awful!) outcome
NIGHTMARE HAIR STORY/STAGE
The last time I tried to go blonde. Cost me hundreds, burned my skin and made me look like a broke, sad corpse
ICONIC FIGURE & WHY
Grace Jones. She is fearless
IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHY
Ireland, to see my parents and breathe some clean country air
MANTRA IN LIFE
Attitude, belief and determination
WHAT’S THE ONE THING YOU WANT TO TELL THE PEOPLE OF 2020
Listen to the radio! I’m biased, but it’s been a real friend during dark times
