The range comprises four products and our favourites are Casual Matt Texture Dry Shampoo, which is perfect for creating an effortlessly tousled ’do, and Classic Perfect Tease Dry Shampoo, which adds volume to hair and provides good grip. We like how the oil-absorbing formulas go on translucent, so you don’t have to worry about unsightly residue – perfect for darker Asian hair. Do a quick spray all over before styling, or apply only on particularly oily areas.

Heads up

Here’s a great reason to take care of your scalp: A build-up of oil, dirt and sweat can cause dandruff and clog follicles. These in turn can affect the growth and appearance of hair. To prevent this from occurring, add a clarifying scalp treatment like PHS Hairscience ADV Pre-treatment Scalp Elixir to your haircare routine. To be used once weekly for normal or oily scalps, it deep-cleanses, allowing other haircare products such as scalp serums to be better absorbed. The watery formula also has moisturising ingredients such as olive fruit oil, and lotus stem cells to supposedly stimulate microcirculation and improve nutrient supply. Spread it evenly on the scalp before shampooing, massage it in for 10 minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly before proceeding with your usual hair-washing routine.
