Well, we thought we would compile a number of the most common ones, for you to refer to. Here’s an informative guide with answers to your most pressing hair care concerns:
What Hair Treatments Should I Use and How Often?
At-Home Hair Treatments:
Regular at-home hair treatments are crucial for maintaining hair vitality, especially if you have colour-treated hair. Our golden rule is to use a hair treatment at least once a week to nourish and preserve your hair’s optimum condition.
What’s the Real Difference Between Supermarket and Salon Hair Products?
Understanding the Formulas:
When browsing through hair products, choosing between supermarket and salon-grade items can be bewildering. Here’s the breakdown:
Sulphates in Supermarket Brands:
Most products you pick off the supermarket shelves will contain sulphates, which while effective at cleaning, may also strip your hair of essential moisture. This can leave your hair dry and potentially damaged over time.
Silicones and Their Effects:
You’ll notice many supermarket conditioners have silicones because they provide a temporarily smooth touch. However, these silicones merely coat the hair without treating its underlying needs.
Prescriptive Salon-Quality Products:
Salon professional products come sulphate-free to avoid excess moisture loss. More importantly, they are prescriptive, meaning your stylist selects the perfect match for your hair type. This personalised approach ensures your hair is treated with the specific nourishment it requires.
