The season of air-conditioning with hot then cold temperatures, excessively heated showers, a passion for indoor pools and the excessive use of heat stylers is upon us. Yes, ladies and gentlefolk, winter is well and truly here and before you know it your hair is going to have its silkiness and hydration stolen, replaced with what seems like a never-ending batch of Sahara-rivalling parched ends, resulting in some symptoms of summer hair depression. But, never fear, like the good samaritan that I am, I’m here to let you in on my ‘holy grail of hair products’ that keep my locks rivalling Jen Hawkins all winter long with not a dry end in sight.
Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Oil Elixir Serum
If you are after something a little bit fancy that can be bought with loose change, get your mittens on Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Oil Elixir. Containing gold particles (like I said: a little bit fancy), that actively repair overstressed hair structures, and Argan Oil to help boost shine and hydration, your locks will love you silly thanks to this new and nifty invention. After a few spritzes, your hair will be glossy, silky and rivaling Goldilocks.
Joico K-PAK RevitaLuxe Bio Advanced Restorative Treatment
Sounding more like a rapper than a luscious-locks inducer, don’t let this long named treatment fool you. Joico K-PAK RevitaLuxe Bio Advanced Restorative Treatment is a luxurious and intensive treatment that has powers of recuperation thanks to the hero ingredient- Keratin peptide complex: which actively works to mimic the natural hair mechanism that exists deep within the cortex of each strand to strengthen and rejuvenate. Healing years of styler and heat abuse in one simple application. The end result? Soft, manageable, stronger and bearable hair that wont drive you cray-cray this winter (thank me later)!

Organix Macadamia Dry Hair Oil
Wave bye-bye to overstressed hair, you will never see it again with this golden-boy. Nourish dry, over processed locks with Organix Macadamia Dry Hair Oil. Now, I have a feeling that your spidey-senses just became a little ‘peaked’ when you read the word Oil. Sure, most people recoil at that tiny 3-letter word but I on the other-hand, start singing hair resurrection salutations. Why? Because this Oil works to instantly mend and soften even the coarsest of hair, without the burden of it becoming weighed down. Thanks to its rich keratin formula, a protein known to strengthen your strands, your locks are treated instantaneously, and their thirst is quenched (for a long time to follow).

Suigo Ultimate Control Derma Activating Lotion
Suigo, a brand that has appeared on my radar a lot lately and is now firmly grounded in my heart, has won me over (once again) with their Derma Activating Lotion. This intensive treatment works its magic by injecting hydration to weak and damaged hair follicles adding the required nutrients to heal and stay hydrated.
Result? Swooshing, commercial ready hair in less than 5 minutes.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recover Intensive Masque
Throwing on a little treatment at the end of your shower time is probably the simplest and quickest way to reach Hair-nirvana. John Frieda, ever the flyaway fiend, has once again topped his range with this brilliant intensive masque. Infused with milk protein, vitamin E and avocado oil, this treatment works wonders on unmanageable hair, injecting bounce, life and vibrancy back into the style with not a fly-away in sight.
Let’s be honest. Not all products that claim to treat unruly, dry hair work. But these, my lasses, do. And so well at that, that they may just invoke a jealous streak in your friends. Be a good friend, and remember to share and make this winter a hair-beautiful one!
