My Reading Room

Count your lucky stars if you do not need specific care for your locks. However, that doesn’t mean you can afford to be careless with your daily routine. Maintain healthy hair by choosing products that are gentle on your hair and scalp. For example, Shu Uemura Art of Hair’s Cleansing Oil Shampoo and Conditioner is an efficacious duo that balances moisture levels for optimal health. And if you’re in between washes, refresh your roots with Klorane’s Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk, a perennial favourite among stylists thanks to its gentle yet volume-building formula. We also like KIN’s Kinessences Detox Smoothie, a blend of antioxidants to keep hair in tip-top condition with minimum effort. Once a week, pamper your hair with a deeply restorative treatment like HASK’s Argan Oil Repairing Shine Hair Oil to improve elasticity and add shine.
