Ripped: Restoring your hair – not just a model’s saviour

With the global Fashion Week carousel well and truly towards the end of its hectic cycle, we all know it’s not just the models who suffer from having their hair literally ripped out during the hectic prep, numerous dashes between shows, public and private transport, aeroplane air and a complete mish-mash of never-ending different water types unleashing themselves on their hair and skin, but with 21st Century life becoming ever more hectic, and the world becoming a much smaller place as we flit from here to there and back again in a blink of an eye, we too, the Joe public face a similar battle in keeping hair tip top condition and preventing it from ruin.

So it was with extreme interest that we came upon the Julien Farel Anti-Aging range, but specifically the Restore product.  A multi-tasking GENIUS of an item which cleans, treats and conditions our hair in ONE step.  One foul swoop.  Quicker than you can say Abracadabra.

“Restore” just needs to replace your normal shampoo and conditioner twice a week in order to “feed” and nourish your scalp and hair follicles with its breakthrough Anti-Aging Balance ‘A2B’ technology.  (Consisting of some powerful Bioactives deep into the follicle, scalp and hair for intense hydration, targeted repair and vital protection.)

The Farel team told us that “It’s inevitable, as we age, our hair ages too – it loses its lustre, its volume and its manageability… the combination of Hyaluronic Acid, Resveratrol and Bioflavonoids creates the optimal environment for hair growth.”  We noticed a difference in how much stronger and silkier our hair felt after just one use, and that IS impressive.

Whilst treating hair from within, it’s worth noting you still need to look after it externally too.  A good comb or hairbrush is always key, and we love the new limited edition, 7 seconds Detangler from Unite haircare.  These detanglers are ergonomically designed so that they help to prevent split ends and reduce breakage, as well as being able to be used both on wet and dry hair.

This particular design has been created in conjunction with the Keep A Breast Foundation, ahead of Breast Cancer Awareness month and as a result, a percentage of all profits from sales will be donated to Keep A Breast Foundation™.

Double win.
