The power of oils.

If you haven’t discovered the joys of hair oil yet, now’s the time. Just a few drops of Oil can help nourish dry hair, leaving it touchably soft and visibly shiny

As a simple dry hair treatment, when heat styling, make sure you take good care of your locks: use a low heat setting and always use a heat protection spray

What you eat can have a huge effect on dry hair – including Omega 3 fatty acid-rich foods like oily fish could help top up your hair’s oil reserves
