Lockdown meant that many of us had to go without the hair care products we rely on. So when normal business resumed it became very clear that most of us are more passionate about the health and beauty of our hair than we realised.
Like to know which hair care products New Zealanders care for the most?
From colour protection and styling products to tools to treatments, we count down through the top ten to NZ’s number one fave haircare crave.
10: L’ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL SERIE EXPERT VITAMINO COLOR RESVERATROL SHAMPOO
Keeping your salon colour looking beautiful is a clear priority. This lightweight shampoo uses Resveratrol to gently cleanse while protecting from colour fade and damage, leaving hair soft.
9: REDKEN ROUGH PASTE 12 WORKING MATERIAL
The perfect paste for texturizing – and likely giving structure and shape to grown-out short styles. You can keep adding layers of product for more hold.
8: MATRIX TOTAL RESULTS MIRACLE CREATOR MULTI-TASKING HAIR MASK
Always a fave, this miracle mask is the sixty second, after shampoo fix to revitalise, repair and intensely nourish your hair.
7: KÉRASTASE RÉSISTANCE BAIN EXTENTIONISTE
This length strengthening shampoo keeps hair stronger and less prone to breakage, rebuilding and sealing hair fibres from root to tip so hair can grow yet stay healthy. Just what those longer post-lockdown locks need.
6: GHD GLIDE PROFESSIONAL HOT BRUSH
Always in demand, and now a zoom call must-have. The clever long/short bristle combination minimises frizz and allows for styling large sections of hair at a time, leaving your hair looking smooth but with natural movement. A great way to refresh your straightener created look from the day before.
5: PUREOLOGY HYDRATE CONDITIONER
The popularity of this 100% vegan product tells us that NZ cares about the health of the planet as well as their hair. Peppermint and Corn Mint essential oils in this highly concentrated conditioner nourish, strengthen and intensely hydrate normal to dry thick hair without compromising colour nor stripping hair of its natural oils.
4: KÉRASTASE BLOND ABSOLU BAIN ULTRA-VIOLET
This powerful purple shampoo neutralises brassy, yellow tones. Blond Absolu cleanses and nourishes to restore shine and softness. It protects blonde hair against oxidation and pollutants while keeping colour luminous.
3: GHD PLATINUM+ STYLER
Number 3 on our list and NZ’s number one styling tool as we come out of lockdown.
The world’s first smart straightener predicts and responds to your hair’s specific needs, adapting to ensure a consistent and optimal temperature for each section of hair depending on its thickness and the speed at which you are styling.
Delivering 70% stronger hair and 2 x more colour protection than hotter stylers and 20% more shine than naturally dried hair, the platinum+ allows you to create curls, waves or the perfect straight look with the greatest of ease.
2: KÉRASTASE DENSIFIQUE FONDANT DENSITÉ
This lifting, ‘bodifying’ conditioner for thin hair creates texture and substance, making hair look and feel more replenished. And this conditioner has a hair-thickening shampoo partner – KÉRASTASE DENSIFIQUE BAIN DENSITÉ – that restores abundance to thinning hair that is losing density.
1: KERASTASE ELIXIR ULTIME
Number one for shine, this, leave-in hair oil provides deep nutrition to dull hair with heat protection for styling too. It seals split ends and smooths the hair fibre for long-lasting frizz control, giving 48 hours of shine. Applied before blow-drying, it also makes styling easier and long-lasting. And it smells incredible for that added sensory bliss boost.
