Hair Woes? Try This!
Fans of The Big Blow already know that a visit to this boutique salon at Cluny Court guarantees fabulous hair for any occasion. AMANDA BROAD tried its latest Kevin Murphy treatment range, TREAT.ME, to strengthen and nourish locks.
What is it?
TREAT.ME is a range of serum-based, leave-on treatments that are matched to improve different hair conditions. This is a new concept for Kevin Murphy, who believes that serum-based treatments for hair have similar benefits as serums have for the skin, being deeply penetrative and effective due to the high concentration of active ingredients.
The serum’s ingredients – mainly comprising vegetable and plant-based proteins – come in separate bottles and are mixed together just before use, so that there’s no need for a chemical stabiliser to be added during production.
The experience
After a consultation and chatting through my hair concerns, Ellie recommended the “Strength Cruet” (strengthening treatment) from the TREAT.ME range. This is an excellent choice for weak or damaged hair, especially for bleached blonde locks like mine, as it strengthens each hair strand from within. Treatments for anti-ageing and intensive hydrating are also available. I loved how the experience is individually tailored to your needs.
Ellie begins with prepping the hair with a cleanse, using the the colour-safe MAXI.WASH to gently exfoliate and remove dead cells, opening up each cuticle in preparation for the nourishing treatment to come. My hair was then shampooed and rinsed, which helped to activate the serum formula.
Once applied, it took only ten minutes to work its magic. Ellie combed my hair while it was still wet, in order to seal the cuticles and lock in the serum, then rinsed it. After we’d finished off with Ellie’s signature blow-out ($45), I was ready to hit the town!
The verdict?
My blow- out stayed put for a couple of days, which is remarkable in Singapore’s humidity – and I wish it had lasted even longer, as the Kevin Murphy products smell divine! The treatment did improve the condition of my hair; one week and another wash later, it still feels stronger and is noticeably less prone to breaking.
