HERE ARE SOME EXCITING AT-HOME HAIRCARE OFFERINGS TO TRY

VITAL VITAMINS

WE KNOW how good vitamin C is in skincare for making your complexion look bright, healthy and glowing – and now it can do the same for your hair, too.

The Charles Worthington ShinePlex range, consisting of a shampoo, conditioner, serum and mist, £7.99 each, contains vitamin C to transform dull, lifeless hair into sleek, shiny waves.

THE ‘HAIR BANDAGE’

INSPIRED by an in-salon treatment, Redken Extreme Bleach Recovery Lamellar Water, £29 (redken.co.uk), contains lightweight molecules that wrap around each hair strand, creating a super-shiny second cuticle and filling any gaps caused by damage from colouring.

2-IN-1 SHAMPOO/MASK

BLONDES may have more fun, but they also have more haircare needs. For the most demanding of blondes, Kérastase has added the Cicaextreme extension to its Blond Absolu range, using skincareinspired ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and edelweiss flower oil to strengthen hair. Blond Absolu Le Bain Cicaextreme, £23.90 (kerastase.co.uk), is a wash-out cream that gives the gentle cleanse of a shampoo with the hydration of a mask.

THE ANTI-DANDRUFF DRY SHAMPOO

TRICHOLOGIST brand Philip Kingsley has found that nearly one in four people use dry shampoo to avoid washing their hair every day. Its new Flaky/Itchy Scalp Soothing Dry Shampoo, £25 ( johnlewis.com), is the first made specifically for problem scalps, and is a quick and easy way to freshen up your style without irritating it further.

COLOUR AND CARE

LOOKING to subtly enhance your existing hair colour or go for a bold new look? Wella Professionals Color Fresh Masks, £15.70 (lookfantastic.com), deliver the pigment of a semipermanent colour plus the intense conditioning of a good treatment – all in just 10 minutes. Full of nourishing oils, they’re designed for weekly use and the colour gently fades over time.
