Best Hair Mask
This indulgent, all-natural mask is a must-have for hair that’s in need of some TLC. Infused with the highest quality natural ingredients, including omega-9 rich ungurahua oil, sunflower-seed oil, quinoa protein, lavender, and eucalyptus, its deep-conditioning formula helps repair and prevent damage, infuse locks with moisture, and promote scalp health.
Wash your way to thicker hair with Aveda’s ‘Invati Exfoliating Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner’. Made of 97 percent naturally derived ingredients, the range has been proven to reduce hair loss by 33 percent thanks to an invigorating blend of organic turmeric and ginseng. The shampoo removes build-up and unclogs pores on the scalp, whilst the conditioner (which is best applied and massaged into the scalp) contains proteins to weightlessly thicken hair from within.
Formulated with zero nasties (which strip hair and cause color to fade), these Color Wow products are, well – pretty wow. Deeply cleansing the hair without leaving residue or build-up, they’ll keep your color – whether perfectly platinum or beautifully brunette – looking fresh, shiny, and vibrant.
Tame coarse and thick locks with this oil-infused shampoo and conditioner. Containing precious oil extracts and no parabens nor silicones, they tame even the wildest of manes whilst nourishing and adding softness and shine.
The ultimate frizz fighter, this amazing oil is the secret behind Negin Mirsalehi’s luscious locks – bet that got your attention! Bursting with the beauty benefits of honey, it contains loads of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, flavonoids, and antioxidants to fight breakage, stimulate growth, and nourish hair whilst restoring shine and softness.
The best way to revive and refresh locks in between washes? CoLab’s ‘Dry Shampoo’ wins again. It adds height, volume, bounce, and body to hair while refreshing the roots to plump and perfect, but without any white-powder residue in sight. It also smells fabulous and comes in a range of scents inspired by the fashion capitals of the world.
For the ultimate finishing touch, this magical mist repairs hair whilst adding extreme shine sans oily residue. Giving hair a velvety texture and fighting frizz, it moisturizes the hair strands and adds texture and definition so you can spray your way to stronger and shinier superstar hair.
Give hair that extra va-va-voom with this fabulous foaming mousse from Show Beauty. The packaging looks gorgeous, and what’s inside will do the same for your hair thanks to a patented Polymer Memory Complex, which loads locks with lift, body, and long-lasting hold. It also protects hair against harmful UV rays whilst giving a glossy finish due to the blend of jojoba and argan oils.
Providing a strong hold that will take hair from morning meetings through to evening soirées, Sachajuan’s hairspray doesn’t leave locks feeling sticky or crispy, and creates a soft, shiny finish instead.
Hair fragrances are all the rage right now, but if you’re looking for the perfect scent to perfume your hair with, look no further than Frederic Malle’s offering. Created by Dominique Ropion, it infuses hair with the iconic and intoxicating ‘Carnal Flower’ fragrance – think floral notes of tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang alongside green citrus notes of bergamot as well as heady coconut and musk.
Made with wood and densely packed natural boar bristles, this detangling brush from Christophe Robin allows you to style your hair with dramatically less splitting, damage, and breakage than most regular brushes.

Gentle enough for even the most sensitive of skins, this cleanser in your one-stop-shop to squeaky clean skin. Using micelles to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities from deep within the pores, it even dissolves waterproof makeup and can be used everywhere from your eyes to your lips. Thanks to the addition of argan oil, it won’t dry out skin, leaving it soft and seriously supple instead.
Not only does this cleanser smell amazing (it’s infused with mandarin peel), but it’s also amazing for oily skin – hence the name. Citrus-based botanicals work together with lavender, sea salt, and natural oils to create a gentle foam that carefully cleanses and balances skin without drying it out or causing excess sebum production.
Banish breakouts, beat blackheads, and say “see ya” to spots with this pore-perfecting cleanser from Alpha-H.

The perfect on-the-go moisturizer, this beautifying balm from Chanel is a multipurpose miracle product that hydrates, reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores, and gives skin back its gorgeous glow. The rich formula contains highly concentrated moisturizing ingredients, including shea and moringa butters, as well as a combination of soft-focus powders and pearlescent particles to blur imperfections and make your face look flawless. What’s even better is you can apply it throughout the day to touch up dry areas or add a flash of radiance when you need a boost.
Nuxe’s ‘Nuxuriance Ultra’ range is the first of its kind. Formulated using millions of new-generation botanical cells from saffron and bougainvillea flowers, these products are bursting with flower power to boost cell regeneration – which slows down as we age – to noticeably restore firmness and density. The range has everything you could possibly want, from an eye and lip contour to a night cream and a roll-on mask, and their subtle scent (fruity-floral meets musky-woody) will leave your skin smelling and feeling sublime.
