Dean’s list

If there were a worldwide ranking for the hardest-working hair products, these would be at the top.

FOR

Peroxide blondes

“Olaplex is a treatment that every blonde should live, sleep and breathe,” says Olivia Colacci, owner of Toronto’s Twentyseven salon. The product helps to rebuild the bonds in your hair that break during colouring. Ask your colourist to add it during the colouring process.

FOR

Expertly laid edges

Janet Jackson, hairstylist and owner of Toronto-based JouJou Hair Studio, uses Up North Naturals Healthy Edges Smoothing Gel ($15) not only as an edge gel but also to keep hair healthy. “Our hairline is sensitive. It can become damaged if you use the wrong products.”

FOR

Shiny, frizz- free hair

We can’t count the number of hairstylists who have told us that Bed Head by Tigi After Party Smoothing Cream ($25) is their go-to styling product for super-glossy hair. It’s ubiquitous backstage at Fashion Week.

FOR

Perfect- everytime curls

These curly-hair products come personally tested, approved and coveted by our very own editor-in-chief, Vanessa Craft: Luv Ur Curls All-In-One ($25), Kérastase Discipline Oléo-Curl Defining Cream ($55) and My Curls Mystic Black Novex Deep Hair Mask ($21.20).
