Lockdown Hair: Easy Ways to Look Your Best

As Ireland starts taking the first tentative steps into easing its lockdown measures, most of us are still weeks away from returning to our local hairdresser. So what to do? There are options…and they are easier than you might think!

You’ve heard it before: it’s really not the wisest idea to go ahead and color your own hair, as shop-bought permanent hair color can damage to the bonds in your hair, messing up not only your color but also the general condition of your tresses. Instead, consider an easy-to-use, customizable root cover kit like Color WOW Root Cover Up: available in a variety of shades to suit all hair colors (including Medium Brown, Light Brown, Blonde, Platinum Blonde and Black), it comes with its own application brush, and its long-wearing formula means it stays put until your next shampoo, so you can forget about any greys showing!

Another thing you can do as you wait, is ensure your hair is in the best condition it can be for your next hair color appointment - by nourishing it with weekly masques such as Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Luster Lock. Simply distribute after your Shampoo and let it work its magic for 5-10 minutes, then rinse off. If you are keeping children entertained at home and time to sit still is a luxury (we hear you!), we have the solution: go for the Argan oil-infused Moroccanoil Treatment Oil. All you need is just a couple of drops on your lengths and ends, wet or dry, and absolutely no waiting around: your hair will thank you for it.

If your hair is experiencing thinning due to stress, the perfect treatment masque comes from specialists Nioxin: Nioxin Deep Repair Hair Masque is an intensive reconstructor that will replenish and rejuvenate your hair and scalp. Works particularly well as a complement to your selected Nioxin 3 Step System.

When it comes to styling (and yes, we still want to look good – even if we only come across three people per day) at this time we really want something that works well, but that is as fuss-free and low-maintenance as possible. Enter the Aurora Hair Band, the innovative hair tool that creates curls and soft waves as you sleep. Really, what could be better? Add some oomph with a spritz of Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray at the roots, and you’re good to go. And if your preference is for poker straight hair, we love Color Wow Dream Coat: it activates simply with the heat from your hairdryer to smooth and combat frizz, and lasts up to three shampoos. See? Told you it would be easy.
