FIBRE OPTICS Actives at work in skincare can also slow signs of aging in your hair. “Niacinamide, caffeine and panthenol combined have been shown to improve the appearance of hair thickness by increasing the fibre diameter,” says Dr. Rolanda Johnson Wilkerson, principal scientist for Pantene Pro-V. Pantene Expert Age Defy Shampoo ($10) uses conditioning fatty alcohols (which penetrate the hair shaft) suspended in cleansing molecules. StriVectin Hair Max Volume Conditioner ($23) harnesses a niacin complex, a derivative of vitamin B3 combined with soy and vegetable proteins, to make hair stronger. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Fresh Cut Split End Mender ($32) uses “zip” technology—tiny ionically charged capsules—to seal split ends. AG Dry Wax ($26) has keratin-boosting seaberry oil to hold hair without stiffness, and Nexxus Emergencée Reconstructing Treatment ($20) uses marine collagen to help prevent breakage. The volcanic ash in Unwash Dry Cleanser ($28) and Sebastian Eruptek Volcanic Ash Paste ($25) acts as a high-octane oil absorber. For details, see Shopping Guide.
