What’s the Damage?

This hair treatment promises to deal with all kinds of damage using products from an iconic Parisian brand.

Hair problems seem simple enough to define, compared to issues that plague the skin: You either have dry or oily hair that’s curly or straight.

In reality, things are a little more complicated. You have the scalp to think about as well as the locks, and both are susceptible to damage. Hair products, stress, diet and the environment can cause scalp sensitivity, which can result in dandruff, itchiness, red patches, dryness and even acne. Hair itself can be damaged by chemicals such as those in hair dyes, shampoos with harsh ingredients, and processes such as rebonding and perming, as well as environmental factors such as UV rays and pollutants – all of which can make hair more prone to breakage and split ends. Throw in hormonal issues, which can cause hair loss, and it’s surprising anyone has a single good hair day.

Balmain Signature Hair Treatment ($379 for 90min) works on reducing the look of signs of damage using products from the prestigious Parisian brand. After a wash, a mask enriched with mineral oils is applied to the hair and scalp to revitalise the look of even very damaged hair, boosting shine, volume and bounce.

Suitable for all hair types, the treatment works on enhancing a woman’s natural beauty and helps restore her self-confidence.
