Tips for soft hair

The post-hairdresser high is one of the best feelings there is – but that doesn’t stop the questions: how have they managed to coax such softness out of our locks? Why doesn’t our DIY blow dry look this good? Hairdressers know that beautiful hair is cared-for hair (and also they’ve had a lot of practice): think about it – is your hair ever as pampered as it is at the hairdressers? Probably not. So if you want to know how to get silky hair at home, ‘care’ has to be your middle name – and not just with the products you’re using.

Condition daily.

The first step to ensuring your hair is soft is to make sure you have a great daily conditioner that’s helping to keep your locks moisturized and cared for. Our Advanced Hair Series Pure Care Dry Oil Conditioner is a great choice, plus it has detangling properties to make sure your hair dries silky and smooth

Boost your diet.

The quality of our hair isn’t just down to what we put on it – what we eat can have a huge effect. Try eating more foods with Omega-3 fatty acids (find those in oily fish like salmon and mackerel) and you might notice your hair quality improving

Our Advanced Hair Series Pure Care Dry Oil Macadamia Oil is the perfect everyday softener
