When your hair’s misbehaving, which are the real hair saviours? We shampoo’d our way through a heap of entries, from conditioning oils to masks to clever ideas (check out Botanist’s Apple and Peach Hair Water below which replaces shampoo) and on the dry shampoo front, Paul Mitchell’s Dry Wash (bottom row, far right) was an undisputed favourite.
Scandi brand Eleni + Chris (top row, second from Left) wowed us with their ChroMin ColorPro shampoo and conditioner, too – brilliant for just-coloured hair which delivers intensive moisturising hand in hand with colour protection and longevity. All the products below won an award including Ogario’s brand new Styling Mist (bottom, 2nd from Left) which just got in for 2017 by a whisker and ended up wowing us all.
