MORE THAN SHAMPOOS, CONDITIONERS AND MASKS

From a hair-softening CC cream to a volumising primer, these cool new products will change the way you care for your tresses in 2014. By AMANDA LAI

Time to try a dry conditioner, a CC cream and more.

a conditioner that is also a shampoo

Macadamia Natural Oil Flawless Cleansing Conditioner, $68. Can’t imagine washing your hair with a conditioner? Well, some two-in- one formulas, like this one, are made to replace shampoos and still work as conditioners. Massage the mousse onto your scalp and rinse off after a couple of minutes. It doesn’t foam, but it cleanses well and softens hair with ingredients like macadamia oil and vitamin E – you won’t even need a conditioning mask after. Bonus: It makes curly hair more manageable and dened.

a cream that does it all

Alterna Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction, $38. We’ve moved from BB creams to CC creams for the face, and now, we have CC hair creams – leave-in products that condition, prep and even style. Use the Caviar CC Cream on damp hair to smooth out roughness and protect your locks from UV damage. It also adds shine and doubles as a styling lotion, giving your ’do some polish.

a primer that makes your blowout last longer

Living Proof Prime Style Extender, $26. This lets you maintain the coiffed results of a salon blowout. Smooth it all over clean, damp hair before using styling products or a blow- dryer. The primer has special molecules that supposedly prevent frizz and do not build up on hair, so it doesn’t weigh locks down or make them look dull.

a dry conditioner

Percy & Reed No-fuss Flawlessness Dry Conditioner, $36. Use this when you don’t have time to spare. It uffs up limp hair and makes tresses softer and shinier instantly. Spray this ne mist onto your locks – avoiding the roots – then brush it out.
