Haircare Perfection - Get that Celebrity Look!

Whether it be the sleek highlighted perfection of Jennifer Aniston or Betty Drapers retro styling’s, a woman’s’ hair is not just her crowning glory but textured tendrils of self confidence and esteem.

The fashionable journey is often fraught with mane misadventure. Coveted styles held in sweaty palms, eagerly clipped from many a fashion bible, that unfortunately doesn’t quite translate once home and your personal team of stylists are pre-booked for Paris fashion week!

So what’s a curly coiffed, fine fringed, colour challenged, damaged diva with thinning tresses to do? As legendry Harper’s Bazaar editor Dian Vreeland would say “Pizzazz”, yes ladies its time to discover our “Pizzazz”.

We may be the Emerald Isle but there’s a definite tinge of rua as many Irish women bask in hued happiness. Whether preserving a natural blessing or maintaining a colour treatment, colour equals responsibility and Redkens bestselling “Colour Extend” range offers an awesome anti-fade protection and UV filter system. The Redken “Colour Extend” Discovery pack €12.00 will fit neatly into the overhead as you board Aer lingus for the sunny climes of Spain!

On this quest for “Pizzazz”, I encountered “hair envy”, and the envy was in the form of the formidably gorgeous Kim Kardashian. So her contribution to the Oxford dictionaries new edition may be doubtful, but the girl sure does great hair. Her Impossible shine may be part of her genetically endowed wardrobe but for us mere mortals trying to reflect in her luminous glory, look no further than the lush Moroccanoil range. For great value and performance, the Moroccanoil Extreme Volume Bundle €52.45, offers plump cuticles and a beautifully healthy sheen. We can thank the Moroccan goats distaste for the Argan Tree kernel, which have been produced into one of hair cares most innovative and luxurious treatments.

So “Pizzazz” was proving elusive. What of volume for those of us bearing the flattened, fine follicle? Well if I had hair envy with Miss Kardashian, I was fully immersed in a “haired restraining order” when I happened upon L’Oreal spokeswoman and model Doutzen Kroes. Surely a smattering of purposeful frizz can be sexy, and nothing screams wanton glamour puss like big beautiful hair. To achieve this look the Kerastase range including Kerastase Mousse Bouffante €23.00 or the Kerastase Lift Vertige- Root Uplifting Gel €27.00 will give outstanding results.

But what if the elusiveness of “Pizzazz” is more serious? Perhaps genetics, pregnancy, even stress, has caused your beloved locks to thin! Our hair embodies our vanity and shouts who we are to the world. The clever team at Nioxin have developed a 3 step system to fuller, denser thicker hair with noticeable improvements within 30 days. Designed for thinning hair there are six separate systems representing the various hair types. Brilliant value at €30.40, a small price to pay for a boost of confidence.

So whether ye be the Rockabilly enthusiast, the beachy blonde or aspire to the Dita Von Teese. Imagine a perfumed buffet of creams, shampoos, conditioners, treatments; a veritable smorgasbord of nourishment for your thirsting tresses, whether  damaged, and dry, distressed, curly, fine, colour treated or age weakened, there  truly is an answer for them all!
