For fine hair: Alterna Abunant Volume Shampoo (£16.75) & Abundant Volume Conditioner (£16.75)

Luxury, eco-friendly hair-care that many an A-lister swears by, Alterna’s cutting-edge professional formulations are free from sulfates, parabens, sodium chloride and other horrible chemicals. Instead they are infused with globally sourced sustainable ingredients, such as organic Bamboo and phyto-nutrient rich organic Maca Root. A winning combo for fine hair – they work together to add fullness, thickness and lift whilst strengthening and rebuilding hair from the inside out. There really is no Alterna-tive.

The boost: Moroccanoil Treatment Light (£30.45)

The mighty Moroccanoil Treatment has fast become a beauty phenomenon, pioneering oil-infused hair products and winning countless awards. Hence the immense excitement when the Moroccanoil Treatment Light was introduced – the ultimate boost for fine hair. Infused with argan oil, it’s instantly absorbed (no nasty greasy residue) to nourish, strengthen, protect, and improve elasticity to leave locks luminous and luxuriously silky.

For coloured hair: Rahua Shampoo (£26.00) & Conditioner (£27.50)

Deep from the depths of the Amazon comes Rahua – a highly potent, restorative oil that’s the secret behind the thick, lustrous hair Amazonian beauties are so known for. Now, thanks to these hair heroes, there’s no need to travel across the globe to reap the Rahua’s rewards. Unlike other botanical oils, Rahua (pronounced ra-wa) deeply penetrates the hair, both repairing and bonding whilst smoothing from root to tip – ideal of coloured or high-lighted hair. With a shampoo to fortify and regenerate, and a conditioner to soften and protect – there’s no product build-up, so colour remains bright and beautiful.

Limp, lifeless hair that needs some extra va-va-voom? Look no further than the Ojon Volume Advance range. It lifts  hair up, fills it out, and injects it with weightless volume, body and texture. The secret ingredient? Peruvian amaranth – South American seeds that are a rich source of protein to seal hair cuticles and provide essential nutrients, resilience and thickness. Working with these super seeds is Ojon’s unique oil – rich in lipids to boost the fortifying activity of Amaranth proteins and to help build up hair’s natural resistance to future damage.
