| Hair status | The product | The fix | |
| Highlighted locks |
|
Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray, $13. John Frieda. | If you want to keep your blonde highlights looking fresh, this citrus and chamomile formula works with the heat of styling tools to gradually lighten your hair. It also has a thermo protectant to seal in your colour. |
| Lacking lustre |
|
Radiance Shampoo, $8. Yves Rocher. | This biodegradable shampoo cleanses all hair types and is chock full of botanicals. A refreshing citrus extract also smoothes the hair. |
| Colour treated |
|
Color Ignite Multi Tone Conditioner, $17. Sebastian Professional. | A unique micro-bubble conditioner that feels like whipped cream has two versions —single tone and multi-tone to seal in your highlights and keep your unique colour in check. |
| Frizzy and fried |
|
Nourishing Oil Care Leave-In Smoothing Cream, $10. Dove. | This product is loaded with coconut and almond oils that penetrate into the hair and keep it shiny — plus you can use it to smooth your hair while styling so it does double duty. |
| Oily locks |
|
Rainforest Balance Shampoo, $10. The Body Shop. | For a scalp that’s overactive, this natural formula helps reduce excess oil to get your hair clean but still leave it feeling moisturized. With aloe vera gel and wild-harvested seaweed, this shampoo is also free of silicones, sulphates, parabens or colorants. |
| Frequent flyaways |
|
Climate Control Extra Hold Finishing Spray, $7. TRESemmé. | In blustery weather it’s easy for curly or wavy-haired gals to loose control of their style. This spray blocks UV rays from fading your colour and treats it with keratin and olive oil to keep out frizz-causing moisture. |
| Natural curls |
|
Curly Hair Solutions Curl Enhancing Spray Gel, $6. Pantene. | Most curly-haired ladies have to battle frizz with products but no one wants crunchy overstyled hair. A spray gel is a unique way to control your natural wave or curl because it mists each strand so it can take on its own shape. |
| Fight flakes |
|
Anti-Dandruff Clear Control Shampoo, $6. Garnier. | If you’re dealing with flakes, try this formula with salicylic acid, Vitamin B and citrus extracts to cleanse your scalp gently without stripping natural oils. |
| Heat addict |
|
Pro-Mend Heat Portexx Heat Protection Styling Spray, $13. Nexxus. | While most of us can’t bear to part with our blow dryer, straightener or curling iron there’s also a way to protect our strands from heat damage. With UVA/UVB protectants this helps prevent split ends and improves hair’s strength and elasticity. |
| Finishing touches |
|
BC Smooth Shine Smoothing Milk, $18. Schwarzkopf Professional. | Not only does this prevent frizz but it also helps repair the inner structure of the hair using an amino cell technology. Use it on towel-dried hair or to smooth down your style. |
