Straight Hair Is Still In

Wild, frizzy Bohemian locks, perms and waves come and go, but it seems you can't go wrong with goody-two-shoes straight hair. Wella has launched Wellastrate - as the name suggests, it's a treatment that gives you manageable and no-need-to-even-brush hair! With its special mild creamy formulation, it's versatile; and with avocado extracts, Wellastrate is gentle on the hair, enriching it with moisture and radiant shine.

Power Brush
ZERO effort on your part, super bright smile - that's what the new battery-powered Colgate Motion offers. Priced at Rs 395, it works on the assumption that we don't really know how to brush our teeth. Dentists worldwide say that battery-powered or electric toothbrushes with oscillating bristles provide better cleaning than manual toothbrushes. Colgate Motion comes in five colours - blue, green, pink, purple and black.

Treat Your Hair

YOUR hair needs pampering from time to time. You can now treat it to a Wella System Professional hair and scalp service. SP is an exclusive, tailor-made hair care collection, based on intensive scalp and hair analyses. It comprises eight diagnosis areas that are divided into three product categories: Shampoos, express treatments and intensive treatments. Special products like Ends Express and Power Mask offer luxurious conditioning treatments for dry and severely damaged hair. Treatments range from colour care, repair, volume, anti-dandruff, hair loss and curl control.

The line is colour coded for hairdressers according to the hair system type, eg light yellow for hair, light green for scalp, light blue for service, and white for specialist care. Wella SP is like a hair spa treatment, so there's loads of luxurious massaging and pampering! It is available at select salons across the country.

Off With The Dandruff

THERE are several causes of dandruff, one of them being an imbalance of the scalp. This imbalance can be hormonal, physiological (caused by excess sebum), psychological (stress), or environmental (climate). You can either have dry or oily dandruff. The former is flaky, small in size and usually visible in large quantities within the hair or on the shoulders. Vichy's Dercos Anti-dandruff Shampoo with Selenium Disulphide and Anti-Recurrence technology works in three ways: It eliminates the micro-organisms, exfoliates dandruff and regulates desquamation (further creation of dandruff). Hypoallergenic and tested on sensitive scalps, Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is priced at Rs 590 for a 200 ml bottle and exists in two formulae - Normal to Dry Hair, and Oily Hair. Available at select pharmacies across the country.

Colour Coded Fragrance
ESPRIT Life is a feel-good fragrance. Find a rainbow of five different scents, each with its own distinctive colour - blue, green, white, tan and red. Blue is about dreams woven with sea air, salt flower, aqua fruit and water lily. White symbolises the kingdom of serenity - a posy of dewy freesia, magnolia and peony. Tan speaks of fantasy with exotic ylang ylang, heliotrope, vanilla, amber and woods. Red is for kindling the flame - musky fruit with a note of blackberry, praline and blackcurrant. Feel deliciously irresistible!
