Top products to style and care for every hair type
Give Fine, Straight Hair A Boost
Minimize the amount of product weighing down your hair with a lightly formulated 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, such as Herbal Essences Body Envy 2 in 1 Volumizing Shampoo + Conditioner ($3, 300mL). Then, inject life into limp strands with volumizing styling products.
Add Gloss To Dull Hair
You’ve spent time and effort blow drying your hair, now give it the just-out-of-salon-shine blast with a spritz of silicone-infused glossing spray. Joico Brilliantine Spray Gloss ($20, 150mL) renews vibrancy and polish with jojoba oil, which smoothes and protects the hair cuticle.
Banish Itching And Flakes
For a flake-free (but still fabulous) ’do, use a pH balanced shampoo and conditioner with pyrithione zinc, a mild yet affective antifungal ingredient. Oldie but goodie Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo and its new Conditioner (both $7, 400mL) work together to eliminate flakes by creating your ideal moisture balance.
Control Split Ends
Dry, brittle hair and split ends require intensive hair therapy. Thankfully, the cure will make you feel like you’ve been pampered at the spa: Bain de Terre Hair Strengthening Mud Masque, ($20, 150mL), a once-weekly deep conditioning mask, applied to damp hair after shampooing for three to five minutes revitalizes hair with essential oils, and gentle white clay strengthens against further breakage.
Fight Frizzies
Fed up with frizzy hair? Get sleek style with a few drops of an anti-frizz serum. Redken Glass 01 Smoothing Serum (60mL, $18) can be used on wet or dry hair. Plus, it comes in a bottle small enough to toss in your purse for quick touch-ups throughout the day.
Add Volume To Thinning Hair
Restore youthful bounce to aging, thinning hair with products that restore body and fullness while protecting your colour. Dove’s Advanced Care Pro•Age Shampoo and Conditioner (both $8, 355mL) are uniquely formulated to turn back the clock on your locks.
Put A Halt To Heat Damaged Hair
Daily use of a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron can fry even the strongest mane. A protective conditioning spray, like TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray ($6, 236mL) with a heat-activated, moisture-locking vitamin complex, guards against damage to keep tresses soft and healthy-looking.
Say Sayonara To Faded Colour
With the time (and money) spent getting your hair to the perfect shade, you owe it to yourself to protect colour from fading. Maintain vibrant colour and shine with The Body Shop Bilberry Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner (both $12, 250mL). UV filters and antioxidants stop fading, a multi-fruit complex smoothes hair cuticles, while organic soya oil restores moisture.
Stop Sun-Faded Locks
Extended sun exposure can wreak havoc on hair leaving it dull, dry, and faded. Phytoplage Protective Sun Veil ($29, 100mL) contains UV filters in an oil-free formula suitable for daily use, so you can be in the sun without losing shine. Spray it on and head for the beach – just remember to reapply after swimming.
