Thick, lustrous locks are atop every woman’s wish list. Celebrity hairstylist Kevin Murphy shares his tips to a healthy head of hair...

1

PICK THE RIGHT PRODUCTS Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is essential. Look for products that specifically target thinning, with ingredients like ‘oleanolic acid, nettle extract and ginger root’, says Kevin. Original Mineral Thickening Spray, $31.85.

PROTECT YOUR SCALP Treating your scalp to a mask and nourishing the skin will help overall hair health. Promoting blood flow to the area will help fight follicular ageing, improving the condition of both the scalp and hair. Make Soft Treatment, $29.95. 3 CREATE VOLUME ‘Lotions can really aid thin hair,’ says Kevin. Pick products that use the same technology as eyelash thickeners and lengtheners, helping to heal and rejuvenate damaged hair. Kevin.murphy Full.again Thickening Lotion, $38.95. 4 BE MINDFUL WITH PRODUCT ‘Too many times I see product heaped into hair, when it can only absorb so much. Instead, layer the product,’ says Kevin. Start with a small amount on damp hair, then blow-dry. Apply a bit more, then blow-dry again. ‘This will ensure that the right amount of product is used and boosts density.’ Remington Keratin & Argan Oil Nourish Hair Dryer, $79.95. This new gentle hairdryer has inbuilt nodules packed with keratin and argan oil that release slowly as you dry, to help protect and nourish hair.
