People often ask me ‘What is your absolute favourite hair product?’ and the truth is I don’t have just one, cure all, miracle potion…I have lots of them! It is tough to wade through all the information out there, so what I have done is taken the top 5 most common client concerns and given you a handful of
options for each, so let’s get started!
Hair Care Concern: Frizziness
Kerastase Elixir
This gorgeous multipurpose oil is a real handbag hero. Use it as a styler, leave in treatment, pre-shampoo detox, blow-dry aid, as an addition to your conditioner or treatment, or even as a lightweight rinse out conditioner too. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants and gives your hair a high gloss
shine. Oh, did I mention, it also speeds up your blow-dry time.
Alfaparf Curl Hydrating Co-wash
For the people who just can not hydrate those curls. This gentle cleanser will not stripe your natural oils, but it will give your curl bounce and definition. We all know how contentious curls can be, so my tip is to hydrate! People with thick/course hair add the corresponding conditioner or mask, but
either way, you will see immediate de-frizzing results from your first use.
Aveda Nutriplenish Conditioner
The key to Aveda’s gorgeous scents is high grade essential oils, Oh Lord, does this smell good. The hydration packed conditioner will make stiff, unmanageable hair sleek and smooth from root to tip. It will bring nourishment and fluidity to your styling process and Hollywood shine to your blow-dry. It comes in two different levels of richness, Light for medium texture hair, and Deep for thick hair. All that and it is vegan and cruelty free.
Colour Wow Dreamcoat
If you want sleek, straight hair with mirror-like shine then this is the one for you. Close to a miracle, this spray in wonder will last in your hair for 2-3 washes, defying humidity, exuding style and giving radiant reflection. It will help tame even the most rebellious hair.

Redken Extreme Shampoo
A healing, protein based shampoo for severely damaged or broken hair. Protein sets when it cools so, this can make the hair feel a little stiff, but paired with a suitable conditioner this is a true hair saviour.
Redken Extreme Megamask
This mask is for those in need of extreme repair. If your hair is brittle or fragile to the touch, and you feel it needs an extra boost, add this to your strengthening routine for a mega shoot of protein.

Hair Care Concern: Build up and Residue
NAK Scalp to Hair Mineral Defence Leave in Treatment
This works as a duel purpose defence really. It helps prevent mineral build up on the hair and scalp, and stimulates the hair follicle to help encourage healthier hair growth and prevent hair fall. It’s super easy to use, all you do is spray it in and leave it in.
Colour Wow Dream Filter
What’s not to love about this detox spray? It’s lightweight, easy to use, quick, effective and leaves your hair with fabulous luminosity. A real treat for anyone living in a hard-water area. It will remove the build up of mineral salts and metals that could damage your hair and distort your colour.
Nioxin
I can’t pick just one clarifying product in this range, as it works on a numerical system(1-6) according to your hair type, but it is definitely worth mentioning. A common thread running through the whole range is that it clarifies the scalp, removes build-up and stimulates healthy circulation. So select the correct number for your hair type and kiss goodbye to dull lifeless hair.
Kérastase Bain Après-Soleil
This is the perfect detox for this time of year, as it is an after-sun colour protector. It puts back in the hydration and nutrients sucked out by summer pursuits. It is a powerful antioxidant that removes build up but, instead of stripping the hair and scalp, they will feel light, soft, and hydrated. Plus, it smells
unreal!
