As someone who develops hair products, I am passionate about quality hair care ingredients. The products you choose to care for your hair are vital in making your hair shine naturally. Combining the perfect blend of nourishing ingredients to leave hair shiny is what great hair care is all about.
Clinically proven to penetrate the cuticle to add moisture, pro vitamin b5 is the ultimate hair care ingredient. It’s the foundation of my deep conditioner, Restore and Shine Hair Masque, improving hair strength and elasticity.
The perfect partner to pro vitamin B5, glycerin attracts moisture helping the other active ingredients to nourish the hair.
If you see this ingredient in your deep conditioner, you may be alarmed. Don’t be. This alcohol is anything but damaging for hair. You’ll see it in good quality skincare and with good reason. It’s a natural fat that moisturises and conditions the skin and hair. What that means for hair is that it conditions and smooths the cuticle. The cuticle (the outer layer of hair) has to be as smooth as possible for maximum shine!
Otherwise known as Vitamin E, tocopherol is another ingredient found in good quality skincare. It smooths, has deep conditioning properties and combats environmental damage.
This nutritional powerhouse is not just good to eat. Packed with fatty acids, it conditions and smooths the cuticle; it contains oleic acid, which helps the hair retain moisture. Essential for shine.

Shiny hair is hydrated hair. Based on over 35 years of salon experience, I can tell you that quick fixes claiming to leave your hair glossy and shiny may be tempting, but often, they leave hair feeling drier and more lacklustre. The truth is, for hair to be shiny, it must have
If you’ve searched Avocado Hair Mask, the chances are your hair is feeling dry. Maybe your hair needs a deep conditioner. Avocados are a popular choice for deep conditioning hair masks and with good reason.
Your hair’s moisture level is the difference between dull, damaged hair and shiny, smooth hair. Hair is shiny when the cuticle, the hair’s outer layer, is smooth. Light bounces off the smooth surface of the hair, leaving it looking shiny.

I write about all aspects of healthy, shiny hair. From preventing frizzy hair to stopping split ends and styling bob hairstyles I share my experience of how to get the best from hair.
Whether I’m working with hair, writing about hair or developing hair care products I stay true to 3 principles.
This is a principle I have adhered to all my hairdressing career and it gets the best results. I like to minimise the heat stress to hair from heated styling tools and take a simpler approach to styling. Over working the hair can leave it dry, damaged and flat. A simple approach is the best way to add volume to hair and keep hair looking and feeling smooth and shiny.
Moisture is the foundation of good hair care. Hair needs a routine of deep conditioning to stay frizz free and retain flexibility and strength. When it has moisture, hair elasticity is maintained, making hair easier to style.
Holistic in the context of hair care is about making sure we eat a healthy, balanced diet and that we feed our hair with nourishing products. Maintaining hydration in the body contributes to good quality hair growth. Using nourishing hair products ensures our hair can retain moisture.
You’ll see these principles threaded through my blogs. My goal is to share the simplest tools and techniques to give you easy ways to care for and style your hair at home.
