HOW’S YOUR HEAD?

- By ANGELO RAMIREZ DE CARTAGENA

It’s time to go all the way with the grooming regimen and tend to our treasured tresses with this selection that will guarantee a good, nay, great hair day

1 MALIN + GOETZ

When it comes to coiffing hair, we’ve heard our fair share of sage advice on what to slick, and concurrent­ly, how to slick it on. If you are on the lookout for a medium hold styling cream that is firm but can easily be worked with any hair type, then Malin + Goetz’s Sage Styling Cream is right up your alley. As its name suggests, the botanical-based blend of sage, chamomile, almond, panthenol, and shea butter not only holds together your crowning glory, but it also moisturize­s and nourishes dry, unruly strands to submission. For a look that is more natural than neurotical­ly stiff, it is encouraged to work the styling cream on dried out hair.

2 AVEDA

Harnessing the power of Ayurveda, the ancient healing art of India, Aveda’s Invati line focuses on invigorati­ng the scalp to specifical­ly treat thinning hair and loss with its optimal innovative formulatio­n. A blend of tangerine peel and Japanese knotweed, the certified organic Invati Advanced Scalp Revitalize­r thickens to help lift hair at the root where the patented bio-fermented blend and Ayurvedic herb blend of ginseng and turmeric stimulates the scalp for thicker, fuller hair. When used diligently, the powerful blend helps improve the condition of hair by fortifying strands from the root to tip.

3 SACHAJUAN

There is a caveat when it comes to texturizin­g products and hair: While it does the job of giving depth to otherwise lifeless hair, it often leaves it feeling gritty and well, unclean. Giving oomph sans the icky, weighed down feeling after, Sachajuan introduces the Ocean Mist Volume Conditione­r, a self-described cocktail of marine algae extracts that works to enhance strand-strength, suppleness and shine, all while creating that coveted effortless, outof-bed effect to a spritz. More than just a surfacelev­el effect, the conditione­r locks in moisture, as well as a fresh scent that is uplifting on all fronts.

4 LOVE BEAUTY AND PLANET

In the growing conversati­on on sustaining life on what is left viable from the planet we call home, every effort counts. Promising to make a little difference towards a happier, less wasteful planet with every shower, eco-focused brand Love Beauty and Planet is putting more walk to its talk. Housed in bottles made of recycled plastic designed to be recycled after use, there is much to laud about the Volume and Bounty Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Shampoo, which is especially formulated to add more bounce to fine, flat hair. With coconut water, ethically sourced Moroccan mimosa flower absolute and raspberry cassis, the formulatio­n helps replenish and hydrate hair, leaving it soft, supple, and smelling oh-so-good.

5 PHYTO

Dull, lackluster, and thin are words you definitely do not want associated with your hair, but even to the most vigilant, these are completely unavoidabl­e. Enter: Phyto Phytodensi­a Plumping Serum, a specially formulated non-oily and lightweigh­t serum that stimulates the scalp, making hair stronger and more resistant. With its innovative mix of grape and veronia, which promotes healthy regrowth, and hyaluronic acid and acacia collagen to revitalize, hair is eventually left fortified and youthful. Before things get out of hand (read: too late), it is best to jumpstart the process for hair that is long and lush to your liking.

6 KÉRASTASE

More than just indulgence, think of the hair mask segment of your hair care routine as a necessary extension to fully resuscitat­e the less-than-ideal state of your hair. This in-depth treatment not only nourishes, but it also treats several concerns to reveal healthier hair. With the Specifique Masque Hydra-Apaisant, Kérastase looks into remedying scalp from irritation, dandruff, hair loss, and even scalp sensitivit­y. The silicone-free formula is concentrat­ed with L-Carnosine, Vitamin E, and Moringa that leaves hair soft, well-balanced, and fortified to take on and resist any potential damaging aggressors.
