PR: Basic hair care tips

MARKI SHKRELI: Best hair care tips are don't wash your hair every single day. It will strip its natural oils and just look very lifeless. Try to wash it every 2 - 3 days.

Another tip is try not to use too much conditioner for every wash, instead use a Deep Conditioner once a week. This will benefit your hair a lot!

• All of my Curling irons - they are my favourite tool!
• Pin curl clips

• Back-brushing tail comb

PR: What do you think are the worst or best trends in the industry right now?

MARKI SHKRELI:

- Best Trends: I love how everything is becoming more womanly. The big hair, the finger-waves, everything in my mind that separates a women from a girl. The hair is much stronger now, how it was back in the 40s - 70s which are my favourite eras.

- Worst Trends: The worst trend right now I believe is flyaways on nicely coiffed hair. I was watching the Oscar's and saw numerous girls with flyaways intended for the hairstyle. I just didn't believe that it went with there gowns and some looked unfinished. The reason I said "this is the worst trend" is because it either looks Great or looks Horrible. There isn't a middle of the road "yeah it looks OK".
