Klorane Dry Shampoo with Organic Aquatic Mint - Basmah
What we think: We’ve all been there. Our hair needs a good wash but we don’t want to go through the process of shampooing, conditioning and blowdrying. For me, my entire hair routine takes over an hour, and call me lazy, but I just don’t have the time to be doing that multiple times a week. This is where the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Organic Aquatic Mint comes in. I’ve tried many dry shampoos in my lifetime however I always go back to Klorane. It’s affordable, convenient, and works like a charm. This one in particular makes the scalp feel cool and refreshed, thanks to the added mint.
Wella Professional EIMI Flowing Form Anti Frizz Hair Balm - Scarlett
What we think: Wella Professional EIMI Flowing Form Anti Frizz Hair Balm is a game changer! I have thick hair, but the strands are very fine, making my hair frizzy almost constantly. I’ve tried various masks and oils that haven’t really worked in my favour. This hair balm, however, tamed and smoothed my frizziness all over making it easy for me to style my hair as well as keeping it healthy and hydrated. It even works as a heat protector in case you’re like me and often find yourself reaching for a hair straightener.
Mesoestetic Tricology Intensive Hair Loss Shampoo - Lucy
What we think: Going into my late 20's I've been experiencing increased hair loss, with the shower aftermath being a complete bloodbath. Having the same hair parting for years has also meant that the line has become wider and more sparse and bald patches have become more noticeable. This shampoo and intensive lotion have been easy additions to my hair washing routine as you only have to apply the single dose lotion three times a week and can use the shampoo daily (or as often as you wash your hair). So far I haven't seen immediate improvements however it has just been the beginning of this journey and I have read that the treatment should be carried out for a period of four consecutive months to obtain prominent/long-lasting results. Both products have been quite gentle on the scalp with an inoffensive smell.
Justice Smooth and Groom - Sus
What we think: As someone with short hair that's always in my eyes, this product has made styling a breeze. After a week, my hair feels softer and the dual treatment and styling function is such a game-changer to my haircare routine. Highly recommend! It has a pleasant, subtle scent that's not overwhelming. The texture is lightweight and non-greasy, making it easy to apply and distribute evenly throughout my hair. I appreciate that it doesn't leave any residue or buildup, which can be an issue with some hair products. Overall, it's a great option for those who want a product that helps with styling and nourishes and softens their hair.
