Re-energise your locks

Are you ready to face the day only after your morning coffee fix? Well, caffeine doesn’t just boost energy levels when ingested; it also works topically. This is why it’s the star ingredient in Plantur 21.

This three-product range – comprising a shampoo, a conditioner and a hair tonic – is designed specially for women under 40 who are plagued by lifestyle-and environment-induced hair loss, and is formulated with Nutri-caffeine Complex to support hair growth. Our pick? Plantur 21 Nutri-caffeine Elixir ($19.90), a watery leave-on tonic that you massage into your scalp after shampooing. We like the cooling sensation it gives and its quick-absorbing formula, which doesn’t leave a residue. Our only request? We wish it smells like a freshly brewed cup of coffee – but we’re partial to its subtle herbal scent too.

GET HER LOOK
We’ve had a girl crush on Aussie fashion blogger Nicole Warne for ages, and we’re particularly obsessed with her sleek, shiny mane. For hair like hers, use a lightweight serum like L’Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Eversleek Precious Oil Treatment ($21.90). It has a cocktail of plant oils, such as argan, olive and sunflower oils, to reduce frizz and add shine without making hair look flat or greasy. For a super-sleek fnnish, use a flat iron like GHD Eclipse ($420) – run it through your hair just once, and you’ll get smooth, straight and shiny locks. It heats up to 185 deg C in just 20 seconds – perfect for busy mornings.
