When it comes to thirst quenched skin, you may have heard of squalane – a dream hydrator that prevents water loss, mimics the body’s natural oils and acts as a natural antioxidant. But did you know that squalane can also be used on the hair to help add strength and shine?
According to Tyler, Senior Stylist at Live True London, squalane is the must have ingredient when it comes to nourishing hair.
“The colder months can prove detrimental for our hair, add stressors such as colour, stress, pollution and even hormones into the mix, and hair can quickly become brittle, lacklustre and dry. This is where squalane comes in. Like skin, your hair has many layers so think of the ingredient as a moisturiser for the hair that adds hydration and banishes frizz.”
FUL is the high performance hair care range designed by over 60 hairdressers to tackle customers biggest hair concerns. The collection has been created with innovative and efficacious ingredients with familiar actives such as hyaluronic acid and collagen.
