A dry scalp can be hard to reverse if you leave it too long without treatment, often becoming damaged and affecting the health of your hair. Using a good quality shampoo and conditioner – especially one designed to give added moisture – keeps hair feeling hydrated and looking healthy. Shampoo and masque ranges like Série Expert Absolut Repair provide a full course of homecare treatment specifically designed to replenish, smooth and help hair to be better protected against daily wear and tear.

Treat yourself to the L’Oreal Professionnel Absolute repair range.

For very little money, this range is literally first aid for the hair, a complete rescue package for dry damaged hair. The range rebuilds and provides deep down serious nourishment and superb surface renovation for beautiful silky shiny results.

Absolute repair contains ceramides like those found in naturally healthy hair and has the technology to zone in on damaged areas restoring strength and resilience.

Moroccan Oil has become ever more popular since its “migration” from the Middle East, but there has been some controversy as far as its effectiveness when it comes to colder climates. However, after some testing, it’s been shown to help with hair damage caused by the cold, which causes the hair to become brittle, dry and tangled. It’s absorbed quickly by the hair and starts working almost immediately. Furthermore, since it’s a natural oil, it does not freeze in colder temperatures when applied to the hair. Moroccanoil® is sold exclusively by salon professionals and authorised retailers.

Arrival of Moroccanoil® on the global market has forever changed the hair-care industry. Moroccan oils have been produced for many centuries, but availability to international clients has come about only recently. Initially, its composition and ingredients were kept secret, and were passed from one generation to another. Back then, the distribution of Moroccan oils was kept local, and very small quantities were left for export. Luckily, today Moroccanoil® is a multinational trademark, which supplies the four corners of the globe with the oils “magic”.

It should be applied prior to heat styling (blow drying and straightening iron use for example) and as a finishing touch to any hair-do. It softens the hair and helps protect it against heat- induced damage.

Thin, brittle and damaged hair benefits immensely from Moroccanoil® products, when applied as a leave-in conditioner. It acts as a protective shield from the heat and chemical exposure.

Genuine Moroccanoil® is known for its heavenly, tropical scent, it is another reason for its popularity. Moroccanoil® can only be purchased from salon professionals and authorised retailers.. Distribution of Moroccan oil is limited, because it is a product of superior quality, acquired by specialists for a discerning clientele. If you purchase Moroccanoil® products from an unauthorised dealer, you are buying diverted and/or counterfeited products that are not protected by the Moroccanoil® warranty. Authorised retailers are not permitted to sell Moroccanoil® products via Amazon or eBay so if you see these products on these websites they are being sold by unauthorised dealers.

Moroccanoil® is also used as a skin moisturizer. It hydrates and smoothes the skin surface instantly. The virtue of this product is its absorbency speed. Whether applied on hair or skin, it absorbs immediately. Moroccanoil® does not contain alcohol and will not irritate your skin. Moroccan oil is cruelty free (not tested on animals) and not derived from animal cells.

Moroccanoil® is available to purchase from authorised retailer The Salon Look

Q: Please would you advise if you use on wet, damp or dry hair or anytime. I’m not sure how one uses this!
Thanks, Linda

A: I have just checked this out with one of the stylists at our Cheltenham salon and have been told that this product can be used on wet, dry or damp hair, whichever works best for you. There is no hard and fast rule.

I hope that this helps.

DAY 1 – BEACHEY WAVES

This laid back look is all about carefree waves and a carefree attitude. Work some Osis Twin Curl into your hair, then take medium, vertical sections and twist around your finger, letting it drop into a loose spiral. Complete the look with Osis Mess Up for an ultra-matt finish and long-lasting textured effect.

DAY 2 – VOLUME INJECTION

Refresh tired and lacklustre locks by simply sprinkling Osis Dust It mattifying powder onto your roots for incredible root lift without the need for harsh backcombing – the more you apply the more control you get. Finish with the cult classic Osis Glamour Queen hairspray which delivers instant volume and long-lasting hold.

DAY 3 – THE RAPUNXEL BRAID

By now you may be feeling the effects of festival fatigue but this doesn’t mean your hair has to. Work tresses into a simple distressed bohemian braid worn loosely over one shoulder with Osis Buff, a lightweight styling cream that gives feathery light definition. Finish the look with Osis Shine Duster – a clever little shine powder pot that transforms into a creamy fluid to leave hair glossy and shimmering.

So for any festival emergency, kill the routine and go create with new OSIS by Schwarzkopf Professional!

Maximum gloss can be achieved by using Camera Ready Shine Spray from the TIGI Catwalk range. It is super light and gives amazing instant shine. Whenever, wherever! It’s hard to beat.

Dumb Blonde Reconstruct is protein packed to strengthen your hair however you may need to alternate with another conditioner (Super Star would be good) so as not to over protein your hair. Dumb Blonde Reconstruct should be used up to a maximum of three times a week and should be left on the hair for 10 to 20 minutes.
