MANALI DAS keeps you updated with the latest news in the world of hair.

Style stop

Wella Professionals’ System Professionals (SP) has launched its new styling range, which is tailor-made to suit every stylist’s requirement and creative genius. The nine products — four products to create volume, lift or waves; three to define the style with texture, polish and shine; and two products to leave your style full of shimmer and hold — are absolute can’t do-without styling items.


“The nine iconic products of the new SP styling range allow me to deliver perfect polished looks, leaving hair styled to perfection and incredibly smooth to touch,” says Swati Gupta, Creative Stylist, Bodycraft salon, Bengaluru. For more on the range and an exclusive tête-à-tête with Swati Gupta, read the February issue of hair.

Sp(oil)t for choice

It’s time you took your mom’s word seriously and started oiling your hair! After all, it is not without reason that she stressed on it. We are all aware of the benefits of oiling, then why is it that we skip this vital part of haircare all the time. Bring back the goodness of a good oil massage with Dabur’s new Almond Hair Oil for Damage Free Hair. The oil is rich in almond protein and vitamin E, which provides deep nourishment to the hair without any greasy after feel.


Royally pampered

Ever wish you had a gateway to your favourite celeb’s hair and beauty secrets? Well, here we are giving you a sneak peak into Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty’s haircare regime. She treats her hair to a spa treatment, all at the comfort of her home. Yes, you heard us right! Pantene’s Total Damage Care range, enriched with Pro V, is your one-stop-shop for all hair-related problems. The range comprises the shampoo, conditioner and intensive treatment. While the shampoo helps rid impurities from the hair and scalp, the conditioner moisturises and protects hair cuticles to visibly reduce the seven signs of hair damage.

Small wonder

No haircare regime would ever be complete without a conditioner. And, if a reliable brand is what you are looking for, you couldn’t possibly do without the new Head & Shoulders’ smooth & silky conditioner with 6x moisturisers. It lubricates each strand, making it softer and shinier. In addition, it also actively deposits more zinc pyrithione (ZPT) to provide round-the-clock dandruff protection. Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor cannot stop touching her hair and swears by this product.

The shampoo, conditioner and treatment are available at `180, `200 and `185 respectively.
B:bride

Leading chain of salon, b:blunt, recently launched its first-ever bridal collection. Traditional Indian hairstyles with an urban twist and impeccable make-up are what make this collection outstanding. The skilled and highly talented team at the salon will be devoted to giving you, the bride, a desired look with cutting-edge styling and colouring techniques. Step into the nearest b:blunt salon and look every bit a diva on your wedding day.
The power of three

Don’t we all wish we had a range of products that could take care of all our hair woes? Well, you sure have hit the jackpot with the three new ranges of haircare products from Fiama Di Wills — The Colour Damage Repair (shampoo, conditioner and serum), Anti Hair Fall (shampoo, conditioner and serum) and Total Damage Control (shampoo and conditioner). The Total Damage Control restores hair’s health and shine that is damaged by environmental conditions, pollution and harsh UV rays. The Anti Hair Fall range is specially formulated for weak hair and the Colour Damage Repair is an absolute must-have for coloured hair.
Let’s party!

With the endless list of parties and weddings to attend, we have enough reasons to sport different hairdos. And, if you love to style your hair differently for every occasion, you should definitely check out the new range of styling products from RUSK — being. The products from the ‘being’ range include warped wax, primitive clay, rubber gum, undressed gloss and sexy hairspray.

RUSK products are select salons across the country.
Brand equity

One item that always makes it to my travel kit is shampoo in sachets. Absolutely convenient and travel-friendly, shampoo sachets are all you need when you are on the go. But, did you know that Chick shampoo is accredited with pioneering the concept of sachets? The brand has launched two new variants to its list of haircare products — Hair Fall Control and Long & Strong. While the first range is endowed with the goodness of amla and henna, the second is rich in amla and badam.

The 400-ml pack is available at `110 at all retail outlets.
