Mostly As: Your hair is under attack
Weak and damaged strands plague you no thanks to countless chemical treatments. It’s time to strengthen your hair’s defence twice weekly with the Essential Nourishing Breakage Defense Hair Mask, $9.90 (200 g).
Mostly Bs: Your hair is temperamental
If changes in humidity levels can make your mane go from smooth to frizzy in seconds, manage it with the Essential Moisturizing Frizz Free Treatment, $6.50 (180 ml). Use two to three times weekly and results are visible as soon as 30 seconds.
Mostly Cs: You have combination hair
Yes, just like skin, hair can both be oily and dry at the same time. Using a clarifying shampoo may be ideal for an oily scalp but may leave your ends feeling straw-like, so it’s best not to compromise on your hair care. The Essential Deep Cleansing Care Shampoo and Conditioner, $11.50 each (750 ml), gently cleanses the buildup with its Sebum Cleansing Technology, while the Smart Cuticle Care ensures your tresses stay hydrated and refreshed.
Mostly Ds: You hair needs a new lease of life
Fine hair coupled with an oily scalp often equals limp hair all around – not a good look! Pump up the volume with the Essential Light Finish Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner, $11.50 each (750 ml). Unlike richer products that may cause excessive build-up at the roots, it adds soft volume and a light airy feel to roots, while leaving ends soft and moisturised. Plus, it’s a great alternative for combination hair as well.
