Traditionally, hair oil has a couple of key benefits – it protects hair, adds moisture, and generally leaves your strands looking a bit lovelier than before. But, for some of us, the thought of adding oil to our freshly-washed hair can feel a little counterintuitive. Good news! We’ve discovered a lightweight formula that works for all hair types, won’t leave your clean strands feeling greasy, and has been handpicked straight from the Vogue 100 Beauty Hall of Fame. Introducing… Percy & Reed’s Smoothed, Sealed & Sensational Volumising No Oil, Oil. (It’s easier to use than to say!)
BEFORE
If you suffer from flat roots, flyaways and frizz, and all-round lifeless hair then step this way. The Percy & Reed Smoothed, Sealed & Sensational Volumising No Oil, Oil is packed with ProVitamin V5 and violet extract to smooth, volumise, and care for hair. Here’s how to use it…
1. WASH AND APPLY
After shampooing and conditioning your hair, towel-dry then dispense 2 to 3 pumps of oil into your palms. Warm between your hands then smooth through your hair from roots to tips. (Yes, even your roots!) This product is water-based so there’s no risk of greasy roots here.
2. BLOW-DRY
Tip your head upside down and position your hairdryer at the roots of your hair to add volume. If you’re curly-haired then try using a diffuser attachment to help keep your curls in shape.
3. ADD TEXTURE
Tip your head back up the right way then twist your hair between your fingers to add more volume and texture and create a natural wavy finish.
AFTER
Super simple! Your hair should be left looking more volumised, with a little more definition and shine. Plus, your strands will feel soft and sleek to the touch. The perfect pick-me-up!
