Turn down the heat

The hair math is simple: blow-dryers, straighteners and curling irons all compound dryness, dullness and frizz. But we need them for a good hair day in the first place! What to do? Adapt your routine with new technology and formulas. The most obvious switch is one of the most exciting things to happen in tools: the Dyson Corrale, $749. Developed by engineers, it styles and straightens hair using 50 per cent less heat than most competitors. Another way to protect hair is to add a new-generation formula that makes it faster to style. Kevin. Murphy Blow.Dry Ever.Smooth,$72, has polymer technology that helps hair remember the smooth style you’ve just created, even after shampooing. Finally, a new heat-activated treatment, Sisley Hair Rituel The Cream 230, $125, protects your hair’s keratin and reduces breakage with a technology that infuses restorative ingredients deep into the hair fibre, repairing hair against heat of up to 230°C. It also nourishes with camellia and moringa oils.
