The winter temperatures have been cruel to my hair, I don’t know about you but I could really use some extra moisturising love for my locks.
I know many of us are skeptical about using oils on our hair and skin for fear of looking like we’ve just pulled a 12 hour shift in a greasy spoon, but I am an oil advocate through and through. Here I have put together a list of some of my favourite hair oils and serums to lock in the moisture and bring your bangs back to life.
Athletia Hair & Scalp Oil
With a focus on natural ingredients, harnessing the power of botanical extracts and essentials oils to benefit the skin, body and mind, athletia is a beautiful experience using unique formulations that give incredible results. This scalp & hair oil contains nine types of plant-derived oils and a fragrance that includes lavender, orange and cedarwood. This rich, smooth oil is designed for massage and to loosen the scalp beforeshampooing, either at night as part of your relaxing wind-down routine or in the morning as a fresh way to start the day. It can also be used as a leave-in treatment hair oil, leaving your hair easy to manage. As a scalp care oil, it softens the stiffened scalp & promotes blood flow to help your head & mind feelrelaxed. When used a hair oil, it moisturises dry, frizzy hair tips for more manageable, radiant hair.

The first of its kind, Virtue contains Alpha Keratin 60ku® – a pure whole human protein that when used continuously will transform the health, quality and appearance of hair. Virtually identical to keratin in its native form, Alpha Keratin 60ku® is accepted by the hair as a natural extension of itself .. and has been clinically shown to restore structural integrity for improved overall hair health. While other brands address the symptoms of damage, Virtue addresses the cause – with phenomenal impact. Virtue® Healing Oil is a lightweight serum infused with our patented Alpha Keratin 60ku® protein plus three super oils and added active vitamins. The nourishing combination instantly permeates strands with Alpha Keratin 60ku® for a nourished, healthy glow.

The K18 Molecular Repair Treatment Mask can be used in three simple steps:

2) Begin with one pump of the K18 Hair Mask, working from the ends to the roots, and add more as needed depending on length, th ickness, and hair condition.
3) Let this sit for four minutes to activate. Style your hair as usual, but do not rinse out.
The K18 Hair product range also includes two salon service products; K18 Professional Mist, 150ml, which is a pre-service treatment that strengthens hair before a chemical service and the K18 Professional Mask.
