Upgrade your haircare routine with these new and notable products

As we see out the last of winter, many of us could probably do with showing our hair some love after the cold season. Whether it’s silky, smooth locks you’re after or would like to combat a dry, flaky scalp, we recommend investigating these innovative products.

Fight frizz
Humidity is often not a hair’s best friend, with processes like colouring leaving strands porous and even more susceptible to it. No fear, as a groundbreaking product promises to shield it from moisture. Dream Coat Anti-Humidity Treatment by Color Wow uses heat-activated polymer technology to keep moisture at bay, not to mention bestowing hair with a silky smoothness that lasts through 3 to 4 shampoos — without weighing it down or making it greasy. Simply requiring the user to spray in damp hair and activate with a blow dry, Dream Coat couldn’t be easier to apply.

Hydrate and repair
Many of us will be familiar with the original bond-building Olaplex range. The global best-seller is a household name when it comes to reducing breakage and strengthening hair, and it’s the No.7 Bonding Oil that’s got us excited — especially as we look forward to the warmer seasons (and will them to arrive sooner, please). A highly-concentrated, weightless reparative styling oil, the No.7 Bonding Oil promises to dramatically increase shine, softness, and colour vibrancy, as well as providing UV/heat protection of up to 450°F/232°C.

Scalp saviour
If you use dry shampoo, have regular colour treatments, or just generally tend to suffer from greasy roots, this product is for you. The highly-rated Clean Rinse Clarifying Scalp Serum with Niacinamide from Sunday Riley is formulated to cleanse the scalp of product buildup, excess oil, dead skin, and pollution, resulting in a healthier-looking scalp and refreshed hair. Suitable for straight, wavy, curly, and coily locks, this scalp serum is effective but gentle, with a micellar water base to lift away dirt as it is rinsed out of your hair. 

Tame tangles
Protect your tresses while you sleep with a silk turban by Slip. Crafted from high-grade, long fibre mulberry silk, this silk turban helps to protect your hair from friction throughout the night with a double-lined twist design, made especially with Slipsilk elastic to fit a range of head sizes.
