HAIR RAISING

At home and abroad, top beauty brands are making headway in haircare, helping you achieve your healthiest hair yet. 1. VIDA GLOW HAIROLOGY, $85.

Since the launch of its first marine collagen ingestible in 2014, Australian beauty and wellness powerhouse Vida Glow has taken an inside-out approach to skin health. Now it’s applying that rationale to the hair on our heads. Hairology, the newest addition to its Advanced Repair line-up, gets to the root of thinning hair and hair loss, which affects up to 50 per cent of women during their lifetime. The daily capsule – with nutrients including biotin, selenium and zinc, as well as Vida Glow’s trademarked pea sprout active, AnaGain

– is designed to support hair strength and growth, and improve lacklustre tresses.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Vitamins and minerals can only be of assistance if dietary intake is inadequate.

2. THE ORDINARY NATURAL MOISTURIZING FACTORS + HA FOR SCALP, $20.

The Ordinary is accessibly priced, resultsdriven, and it transformed the skincare landscape with its no-frills approach. With the launch of its first hair product, it’s set to be similarly disruptive. The inaugural product drop – The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA for Scalp – works on the premise that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Loaded with hydrating hyaluronic acid as well as a combo of ingredients that mimic the scalp’s own moisturising capabilities, the brand recommends massaging a few drops into clean hair before bedtime.

3. GUERLAIN SCALP & HAIR YOUTH OIL-IN-SERUM, $214.

If we’re getting technical, this isn’t Guerlain’s first foray into haircare. For more than 140 years, the French brand stocked a suite of hair formulas before pressing pause on the category for over four decades. In 2022, it’s been reawakened with the addition of its Scalp & Hair Youth Oil-In-Serum. Applying a skincare-first ethos, the serum is backed by more than 10 years’ research and combines a powerful mix of actives to strengthen the hair fibres, aid repair, and curb damage. It activates on application, and like your favourite skin serum, consistency is key: work a few drops into strands for a nourishing boost each morning.
