Perfecting your at-home hair care and knowing what to ask for at the salon are both crucial for improving lacklustre locks.
GB News spoke exclusively to a celebrity hairstylist about how women can achieve "better hair" in simple steps, including avoiding a popular chop and colouring correctly.
Julia North, a hair expert who also founded the wig brand Wigonia, stressed the importance of getting the right haircut for you.
While it might be tempting to go for the latest hair trend that looks great on the A-listers, your main consideration should be how it will look on you.

Julia said: "The biggest mistake I see with cuts is following trends rather than working with your natural texture and face shape. A good haircut should look effortless and grow out beautifully.
"Always remember, just because something looks good on TikTok doesn't always mean it'll suit your face shape and hair texture."
To ensure you leave the salon happy, it's always best to speak to a professional hairstylist who can give you tailored recommendations.
Regular trips to the salon are essential too, the expert added. For a better barnet, Julia advised ladies: "Schedule trims every eight to 12 weeks, even if you're growing it out."
As for colour, "the key is maintenance", the expert advised. She said: "If you can't commit to regular touch-ups, consider techniques like balayage that grow out more naturally.
"And always use colour-safe products - plus purple shampoo if your hair is dyed blonde. The cheap, chemical-laden shampoo you use might be stripping the colour from your hair."
According to the celebrity hair guru, women can also eat their way to better hair. In fact, Julia claimed that diet is "crucial but overlooked".
"Hair is primarily protein," she explained, "so make sure you're getting enough in your diet".

She added: "Biotin supplements can help, but they're not a miracle cure - focus on whole foods rich in vitamins A, C and E.
"If you're struggling with getting protein through whole foods, try good quality plant-based protein supplements."
A nutritionist confirmed that the right dietary choices can go a long way when it comes to hair health, naming the top foods for "healthy, shiny hair".
Julia North also spoke to GB News about the brushing technique that could be majorly damaging your hair, warning women it's causing breakage.
