The Mane Attraction

Is your hair dry, damaged or brittle? We share expert advice and a selection of the best new products to help you achieve the healthy, luscious locks of your dreams.

THE LATEST MUST-HAVES FOR GORGEOUS HAIR 1 SOFT & SHINY

Think of the luxurious Sisley Pre-Shampoo Purifying Mask as a reset button for your tresses. The formula acts like a blotting paper to whisk away excess oil and impurities. White clay eliminates pollution while Java tea extract works to rebalance the scalp and artichoke leaf extract restores shine and softness.

2 FIGHT BREAKAGE

Heat damage often stands in the way of hair growth, which is why Kérastase has formulated Resistance Extentioniste Thermique ($48). This product’s unique formula seals the lengths and split ends while resurfacing the hair fibre and helping to reduce unwanted breakage by up to 93 per cent.

3 SCIENCE & NATURE

The Actyva range uses more than 40 naturally derived ingredients that work with the latest cosmetic research discoveries. As well as providing quality products, all of the packaging, bottles and tubes in the range are made from recyclable Green PE – a highly innovative material that is produced from sugar cane.

4 BLONDE BEAUTY

Blonde hair often needs some extra love and attention. Redken Color Extend Blondage Express Anti-Brass Mask ($47.50) is a super-clever, ultrapigmented purple hair mask that works to restore lustre to blonde locks while neutralising those unwanted yellow and orange tones. The result is glossy, cool blonde hair.

5 NOURISH & HYDRATE

Specifically formulated with all hair types in mind, Christophe Robin Hydrating Melting Mask with Aloe Vera ($55 from Adore Beauty) harnesses the nourishing and hydrating properties of aloe vera. As well as leaving your hair deeply hydrated, soft and silky; the formula is 98 per cent natural, and free of silicones and sulphates.
