HAIR CARE: DO YOU?
Well, do you? Here are our favourite hair products and expert tips on using them
Words by Christina Ko
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
Never, before the launch of the Dyson Supersonic, has a hair dryer received so much adulation from the beauty world – and for good reason. Its revolutionary design makes it smaller and lighter than your average model, yet a good bit more powerful than anything else on the market, reducing those annoying flyaways.
LC tip: For smoother tresses, use the magnetic nozzle and dry hair in small sections rather than taking large chunks of locks.
Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo
For hair that needs a little extra TLC, this shampoo from Aveda’s celebrated damage remedy line uses quinoa protein to rebuild hair, and babassu and coconut oils to help wash away pollutants.
LC tip: Instead of scrubbing the scalp hard so your shampoo penetrates, try instead letting your shampoo sit and soak in for a full minute before you rinse.
HAIR rituel by Sisley Restructuring Conditioner with Cotton Proteins
This hair line by skincare favourite Sisley is really very good, and we love a conditioner that not only smells delicious but also helps to make hair more manageable on a daily basis through the use of shea and hazelnut oils.
LC tip: Don’t use too much conditioner, and only apply it to the bottom ends of your hair to avoid weighing down the roots.
Oribe Power Drops Damage Repair Booster
This 2% Linoleic Acid formula is a secret weapon; a potent serum that you can mix in with other leave-in Oribe products to give problem hair a big power-up. Biotin is a protein that will strengthen strands, while sea kelp extract provides a vitamin boost that will make hair bouncy, smooth and soft.
LC tip: After you’re done with your hair, press the remaining oil in your palms onto the backs of your hands!
ghd platinum+ styler
This iconic heat -styling tool can create a zillion hairstyles, from silky straight locks to Veronica Lake waves and crazy curls, and does so without harming the hair nearly as much as other high heat models. Pair with the brand’s Heat Protect Spray and let hair dry completely afterwards before you get to work.
LC tip: Working your whole head can get tiring, so start with the face-framing strands, particularly when curling, and get them perfect before moving on to less noticeable parts in the back.
