OGX

For most Singaporeans, serum to be oddly popular. Contrary to popular belief, a leave in oil can be greatly beneficial for frizzy hair caused by the combination of coloured hair and Singapore’s humidity. 

Oil and creams tend to be more lightweight and soak into the hair cuticles quicker allowing your hair to shine from the inside out. 

OGX’s leave in oil, mimics natural oils lost during the shampoo and conditioning process. Kukui oil specifically helps protect hair and scalp from environmental elements and also moisturises hair  without leaving it greasy. 

Lush 

Blond or silver hair can only be a pickle to take care of. With every wash, the colour runs leaving you with the yellowish colour of bleach nobody wants. 

The best way to retain the colour of silver or other cool tones is to neutralise it with purple shampoo. For best results simply use purple shampoo 1 – 2 times a week.

Though it might sound strange to douse your hair with purple pigment, it can eliminate the need for monthly touch ups and help you extend not just the colour but the health of your hair. 

Daddy-O by Lush, is a lovely, mostly organic shampoo that leaves your hair softer and smelling great while helping you maintain the longevity of your salon hair colour.

TRESemme 

Heat tools for hair styling is daily part of most Singaporean women’s routine. The best heat protectant allows you the optimum hair texture for hair styling yet protects your hair cuticles from the harsh heat of a curling or flat iron. 

Not only styling tools but the simple act of blow-drying can also damage your hair in the long run. The TREsemme heat protective spray acts as a physical “sunscreen” from the heat of a styling tool.

It only takes a quick couple of seconds for your hair to soak in the protectant. This prevents breakage and loss of shine in the long run.
