Triona’s top trends

You invest in your hair at the salon, so why not show it more love at home? It’s just as important to use hair-care products after you leave the salon. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my hair colour since I started using the Alfaparf Pigments range to revive my colour and keep it vibrant between dye jobs. Lorraine Carthy in Queen on Aungier Street, see queen.ie, recommended the colour pigments that were most suitable for my hair to stop that red glow I sometimes get — I despise it! For my desired upkeep tones, I simply combine the Alfaparf Ultra Concentrated Pure Pigment, above, €3.95, into the Pigment Shampoo and the Mask, both €12.95, available from Queen, or any Alfaparf Milano salons nationwide. No gloves are needed, as the treatment doesn’t stain your hands or your towels. Next, we need to talk about the Revlon One-Step Blow Dryer, below, €49.99. I saw it getting so much attention on Instagram, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and ordered it on boots.ie. They all couldn’t be wrong, right? I let my hair air-dry just a bit, and then I used it and — you guessed it! I ended up with perfectly styled hair in one step, and it only took minutes! I love this tool! It saves me so much time, and it’s easy to use — which is especially important for someone who is a bit uncoordinated, like I am! We are in the love.
