The Inverse Hair Conditioning System
It may sound crazy but it’s true — this “frozen” flat iron could give you your best hair yet. Instead of blasting hair with heat, you press the cold iron plates through wet hair (yes, wet hair!), and the sub-zero temperature of the plates transforms the keratin fibre of your hair. Instead of zapping moisture like heat would, the icy plates seal hydration in. It’s a splurge, and it doesn’t improve texture overnight, but slowly and surely hair becomes less frizzy, smoother and far easier to manage.
Hair Conditioning System, $400, Inverse.
Nexxus City Shield DD Crème
This “DD” or damage defence leave-in treatment helps to create a lightweight veil on hair, shielding it from city grime that can cause hair to swell. It contains lotus flower, elastin proteins and wheat to smooth hair and make it manageable.
City Shield DD Crème, $19, Nexxus.
L’Oréal Paris Extraordinary Clay Pre-Shampoo Treatment Mask
Greasy roots and dry ends? This ingenious new system uses a pre-shampoo scalp treatment to absorb excess oil, then a shampoo and conditioner that are designed to keep roots fresh and lengths smooth.
Extraordinary Clay Pre-Shampoo Treatment Mask, $9, L’Oréal Paris.
Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast
When MIT engineers design a volumizing spray, you can expect it to take your hair to new heights. It doesn’t disappoint — hair gets big, and stays that way.
Full Dry Volume Blast, $38, Living Proof.
T3 Volumizing Hot Rollers Luxe
For anyone who finds that her waves fall flat almost immediately, these hot rollers are the answer. They come with smart crease-free clips, heat up evenly in three minutes and give long-lasting volume and shine.
Volumizing Hot Rollers Luxe, $149, T3.
