Hair notebook
Say nah to summer taking its toll on your locks and yeah to these state-of-the-art sidekicks that’ll keep them looking lush.
BLONDE AMBITIONS
Oribe has extended its Bright Blonde Collection to include two new products. Blonde Essential Priming Serum, $65, is a lightweight repairing, strengthening remedy that also aims to eliminate the brassiness that can creep into blonde tresses — but it’s the Bright Blonde Sun Lightening Mist, $60, we’re most excited about. This formula blends flower and fruit extracts to gradually lighten hair with heat from the sun or a hairdryer. It’s an effortless, hydrogen-peroxide-free way to get sun-kissed hair, whether you make it to the beach or not.
MIND BLOWN
We can’t get over how skilled the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer and its new flyaway attachment,
$649, are at smoothing rogue strands, even when the weather’s super humid. Using innovative technology, it expertly moves longer hairs to the front of your ’do, while hiding flyaways from view. To set your silky coiffure and ensure frizz stays away, opt for a finishing spray like Evo’s Love Touch Shine Spray, $40, which seals the ends of your hair and boosts the glossiness factor.
ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS
We use skincare with active ingredients, so why not haircare? This is a question Glow Lab has quashed with its latest range, which could very well be its best invention yet. The four shampoos (Hydrating, Repairing, Thick & Full and Purple, 300ml $15) are packed with actives such as keratin that are typically spotted in salons. These ingredients work to supercharge the shampoo yet are nice and natural — free of silicones, sulphates and parabens. The result? Softer, healthier, smoother hair.
DOUBLE DUTY
Multi-tasking products make life so much simpler, and that’s just one of the reasons you’ll love this new creation, Chloe Zara’s Hair & Body Perfume Oil, $110, which like its name suggests repurposes her popular hair oil for both hair and body. Its packed full of essential acids that make it nourishing top to toe, and has a divine, fragrance (an understated blend of saffron, pineapple, fig and sandalwood) that’ll leave you wanting more.
