WHY HAIRCARE IS THE NEW SKINCARE RIGHT NOW

The Dilemma: Maintaining Your Colour

With most people trying to avoid at home hair colouring right now the key focus for many is retaining the colour we have. Using specially formulated shampoos and conditioners can add serious longevity to your tresses. Olaplex, a new brand which has already garnered cult status with hair professionals across the world, is an award-winning hair system which is widely recognized as the holy grail of hair because of its smoothing, strengthening and colour-maintaining treatments. It uses patented technologies that helps retain pigment and repairs damaged or broken bonds caused by heat, chemical and physical stressors.

What to try?

Olaplex's cult 'No.3 Hair Perfector' doesn't just improve hair's appearance but strengthens each individual strand. Recommended for use once a week it is best applied before your shampoo and conditioner (use the Olaplex No. 4 and No. 5). Leave on the Hair Pefector for 10-30 minutes or leave overnight for serious gloss and sheen. Another star product by Olaplex is the 'No.7' which is a lightweight, concentrated 'Bonding Oil™' which tames flyaways and frizz, while providing UV and heat protection. Adding a few drops will transform your tresses into softer, healthier-looking hair.

Dilemma: Soothing Split ends

Without our hairdressers to snip our split ends every 6 weeks it’s more important than ever to guard our manes from the elements. Choose a treatment with antioxidant-rich argan oil and shine-boosting vitamins to repair and protect.

What to try?

Moroccanoil Treatment is a haircare icon and the original brand who pioneered the argan oil-infused hair care trend over the last decade - it continues to be the perfect foundation for all hair care. Complete with both styling and conditioning benefits it creates long-lasting smoothness, increases manageability, speeds up blow-drying time and boosts shine. The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask also has the ability to help restore and revive hair damaged from colour and chemical processes and will be key to keep you in tip top condition between cuts.

Dilemma: Quick solutions

We have selected our must-haves that are certain to extend your good hair days until you can go to your next salon appointment.
