OUR BEAUTY DIRECTOR’S HAIR HEROES

My haircare ritual has become pretty streamlined. After trying a raft of new launches, I have settled on two brands: Centred and Fable & Mane.

Centred Daily Calma Shampoo is a gentle coconut-based cleanse, while the Conditioner boosts shine and bounciness with castor and jojoba oils (€24.50 each, wearecentred.com).

Founded by a brother and sister, Fable & Mane’s most celebrated product is actually a hair oil that was inspired by an Indian ritual of their grandmother. But it’s their HoliRoots Shampoo and Conditioner

(€25 each, fableandmane.com) – which both contain jasmine sambac, coconut milk and banana, and smell wonderful – that I can’t get enough of. The shampoo gives a great clean and the conditioner helps tame frizz, and leaves my hair glossy and bouncy.

Though I love the brand duos, my go-to combination is the Centred shampoo with the Fable & Mane conditioner, which left even my grey hair so shiny and bright I didn’t remotely mind it showing. (Both brands are silicone- and sulphate-free and vegan.)

Aside from that I use a mask every seven to ten days (see top picks on page nine) and keep a root touch-up product to hand (see page 25).

I’ve also been trialling the new Inkey List

haircare range – launching Tuesday – and though I’ll talk more about it in the weeks to come, my current top tip is the Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Hair Treatment (€12.20, cultbeauty.com) – a few pumps rubbed into dry hair gives it a moisture boost that keeps it looking and feeling smooth.
