When it comes to beauty, hair care is rarely one of our top priorities. After all, it is just one aspect of your appearance – one that’s seemingly unnoticeable, and also one that’s seemingly time-consuming.
But before you say ain’t nobody got time for that, consider the many times you’ve noticed somebody for their hair. Thick and shiny locks give the impression of a healthy, vivacious person; while greasy and clumpy hair can portray laziness and a lack of self-care.

Where how you manage your appearance can show your personality and attitude, the ever-evolving beauty industry is picking up the importance of hair care. Like skincare, hair care products are made to show the effects (softer, less frizzy, etc) – if you don’t start feeling them first.

A revolution in hair dryer tech with its now iconic bladeless design, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer not only has a digital motor for fast drying and intelligent heat control (three speed settings and four heat settings) to help protect your strands, it also comes with new and re-engineered styling attachments for ease of blow drying. Plus, it is probably the quietest hair dryer you will find on the market.
Dyson has also recently made some key upgrades to the Supersonic, as well as the Airwrap hair-styling tool, which you can read about here.

This hair brush is a beauty legend, and for good reason too. It is handcrafted with a smooth contoured handle and a soft rubber cushion pad making for a gentle yet effective brushing experience, to leave hair ultra-smooth and glossy. It promotes scalp health too, thanks to the natural boar and nylon bristles that stimulate the scalp to encourage healthy hair growth.

You might balk at the price of this serum, but the product works to slow hair loss, prevent premature greying and encourage stronger, fuller hair growth.
Its hair care superpowers boil down to the formula’s plant-based extracts, proteins, vitamins and minerals all as meticulously developed as the brand’s premium skincare, plus it has a super lightweight and non-greasy formula to boot. Just a few drops massaged into the scalp every other day is all you need.
Available online.
Yes, it costs a pretty penny for a hair perfume. But notice the word “protective” in its name? Not only does it have an innovative and very effective anti-odour technology (which makes even rank tresses smell like fresh lychee, peach, and rose), it also restores hair health and reverses damage by infusing hair with keratin proteins and silk oils.

This conditioner really does what it says – repair and restore limp and damaged hair. It has argan and maracuja oils to deeply nourish, plus restorative biotin and smoothing shea butter to strengthen every strand, promoting lustrous growth. An added bonus is its vegan and cruelty-free formula that’s also free from parabens, sulfates and gluten.

This is the brand that brought us one of the first super effective lash growth serums years ago, and now Revitalash brings the same formula to this super foam, in a bid to revitalise the volume of your mane.
