Natural curls and waves
If you have afro, very curly or perhaps even wavy hair, you’ve probably heard all about the amazing benefits of ‘co-washing‘.
Now, if you’re wondering why this cleansing method is popular, its because it’s gentle and works to both deeply cleanse and condition your hair, resulting in locks that are healthier-looking. Neat, right?
So, when you notice your curls or waves are starting to feel dull, zhuzh up your hair washing routine with a conditioning shampoo, like the TIGI Bed Head Calma Sutra Cleansing Conditioner.
This sulfate-free cleanser works to refresh, detangle and hydrate locks. Oh, did we also forget to mention how divine and fruity it smells? We’re sold!
Coloured hair
If you’re a hair colour chameleon, you might find that maintaining your chosen hue is one of the most difficult things to do.
But don’t be disheartened, because you can make maintenance a breeze with a colour protecting wash system like the Dove Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner.
This will help maintain your shade’s vibrancy for longer (meaning it will shine bright like a diamond), while also helping keep your locks at the top of their mane game.
Mature hair
As hair ages, it loses essential nutrients, which can leave your strands feeling coarse and looking dull – not quite anyone’s cup of tea!
Well, you’ll be pleased to know that the Dove Advanced Hair Series Youthful Vitality Shampoo, has got your back.
This nifty product will help replenish and nourish mature locks, resulting in fuller-looking strands that also have a youthful appearance to them. Honestly, what’s not to love?
