When we were young, our hair care routine solely depended on our older sisters, mothers, grandmothers, if you were lucky enough to be raised by one, and their help. Whatever they used on our hair no one could argue with and seemed perfect at the time. Our hair care needs change over time and we need to do extensive research on best ways to care for our locks of love. If you figured out what works best for your tresses - great! If not, don’t despair. There are plenty of amazing products out there to meet your specific needs. Let’s explore 2 of the most important products you need to try out now...

• OLAPLEX

You should have heard of the revolutionary wonder treatment that is changing women’s lives; one at-home hair treatment at a time - OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector. If not, here is a simple truth - You Need It and you can shop for it anytime, online. The hair care industry has seen nothing of its kind before.  It repairs broken hair bonds caused by colour services such as bleaching or hair dyeing, thermal styling tools like flat irons, curling tongs and hair dryers. It does this by cross-linking the hair bonds broken during the above services or use of styling tools. It’s recommended to use it 2 to 3 times a week with your favourite shampoo and conditioner. You can keep it on for a maximum of 30 minutes before rinsing it off. Remember to also use your favourite moisturiser because this treatment is not a moisturiser. Believe it or not, approximately 453 000 OLAPLEX No.3 treatments were done in South African homes in the last 6 months. It’s suitable for virgin or natural African ethnic hair and chemically processed (relaxed) African ethnic hair.

• THE VICTORIAN GARDEN

Do you regularly use hair conditioner? If not, you’ll thank yourself for giving the Argan & Vanilla Hair Conditioner by The Victorian Garden a try. If natural hair is not properly moisturised, it will lead to dry, flaky scalp problems. This new hair care formula is packed with natural and organic ingredients like pure vanilla oil and argan oil to boost scalp health of all hair types. Plus, it is a moisturising conditioner meaning it leaves you with perfectly nourished hair while repairing any damaged strands. It is recommended you use it after shampooing your hair. Apply it from mid-lengths to end of hair (not from the roots) and allow it to sit for 2 to 5 minutes before rinsing it out. You can shop for the 250ml bottle online for only a R105. Remember,  natural and organic ingredients are better for your skin, safer for your health and the environment. Always use natural and organic hair care products for the best results.
