Your passport to salon-quality haircare on a budget
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of walking out of the hairdressers to proudly show off your new cut or colour, and your hair is the softest it's ever felt.
While this post-salon feeling is second to none, it's hard to recreate at home to avoid spending big bucks at your hairdressers more than you need to.
And then begins the seemingly endless journey to find a shampoo and conditioner that works for your unique hair type without breaking the bank. Trawling down the aisles of supermarkets and chemists in search of these elusive products can often raise more questions than answers.
What ingredients should you be steering clear of? What brands are better than others? What problem area should you be targeting? Does more expensive actually mean better?
And so on and so forth, forever.
Until, an unsung hero swoops in to save the day.
After absolutely perfecting affordable makeup, Revlon have made their foray into haircare, with Revlon Professional having the answer for everyone’s individual hair care needs while keeping the prices low.
Revlon Professional have a shampoo, conditioner and hair mask to cover everyone, with their systems covering everything from hydration and volume to colour protection, restoration, curly hair maintenance and more.
I tried out the Revlon Professional RE/START Hydration system over two weeks while on holiday to really put it to the test.
While I was testing out the three-step system, I was exposing my hair to chlorine pools, salty ocean water and relentless humidity. On top of this, my poor hair has suffered years of abuse (at my own hands), and has been bleached several times, draining my hair of any natural moisture.
I have tried dozens of ultra hydration products to make my hair look marginally better than a hay bale, and have yet to find my holy grail solution.
I was expecting the Revlon Professional range to do what every other product does: give me maybe 12 hours of softness before my hair goes back to looking like a tumbleweed.
Obviously my years of trying every product on the market has made me jaded, because the RE/START Hydration system was so much more than I ever expected.
Over two weeks of trying out the products, I used the shampoo, conditioner and mask about four times. After the first time of using them, I was completely shocked at how hydrated my hair stayed until it was next time for a wash.
Unlike other products on the market, the RE/START Hydration system keeps your hair hydrated for days, all while looking clean, healthy, shiny and untangled, without weighing your hair down.
At last, I have finally found my holy grail products and I will sing their praises from the rooftops.
Whatever your hair concerns may be, Revlon Professional has the answer for you, all while keeping your wallet in mind.
But don’t just take my word for it. The Revlon Professional ranges are available at Adore Beauty, Oz Hair & Beauty and Revlon’s official website for you to find your own holy grail products, and have salon fresh hair all year round.
