The Newest Hair Innovations That Recreate the Salon Experience at Home
If you’re looking for products that can help you maintain or enhance your hair health, colour and style, there are some exciting new options on the market that can give you salon-like results. Here are some of our favourites:
- **UNITE HAIR CARE**: This brand has been providing professional haircare products for professionals and their clients for over 16 years. Its wide range of products, like the award-winning 7SECONDS DETANGLER, have been hailed as hair must-haves by celebrities like Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Zoe Kravits and Vanessa Hudgens.
- **OLAPLEX No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment Kit**: This kit contains two products that work together to repair and strengthen damaged hair bonds. The No. 0 is a primer that prepares the hair for the No. 3 Hair Perfector, which is a leave-in treatment that reduces breakage and improves shine and texture. This kit is ideal for anyone who wants to restore their hair from chemical or thermal damage.
- **L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up**: If you need a quick and easy way to touch up your roots or grays, this spray is a lifesaver. It comes in nine shades that blend seamlessly with your natural or colored hair. It’s water-resistant, dries in seconds and lasts until your next shampoo.
If you want to embrace your natural hair texture and experiment with different styles, there are plenty of options that you can do at home with minimal effort and tools. Here are some of our favorites:
- **Wash-and-Go**: The easiest natural hairstyle has to be the wash-and-go, because well, it’s just like the name suggests—you wash it and go about your day. The number of styling products you use are totally up to you. (Check out this handy wash-and-go guide if you need a bit more assistance.)
- **Jumbo Topknot**: If you like to keep your hair out of your face, then a topknot might be right for you. To copy this style, make sure you smooth your roots and baby hairs down with a baby hair brush and edge styler before you create your large, luscious bun. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
- **Braid-Out**: Defined curls can also be achieved with a braid-out if that’s what you prefer. You can do the same process as the twist-out, but instead, section your hair off into three-strand braids. This can give varying results based on the size of the braids and your natural texture, but is consistently a strong way to bring out the best in your voluminous curls.
We hope this blog post has inspired you to try some new ways to style your hair at home and achieve salon-quality results. Remember, you don’t need to spend a fortune or hours in a salon chair to look and feel fabulous. With some creativity, patience and the right products, you can transform your hair into anything you want.
