The Highlight Issue 14 'Feel Fantastic Summer'

No haircare regime looks the same, with products targeting specific needs and concerns enabling us to curate bespoke routines for our locks. Anti-dandruff hair products, for example, are designed to help those with dandruff, a common hair condition that causes the skin on the scalp to flake, and in some cases leads to itchiness. Such products often contain soothing, gentle formulas to support the scalp, as well as ingredients such as salicylic acid to help exfoliate and minimise the appearance of dry skin. Ingredients continue to reign supreme, with the skinification of hair trend showing no sign of slowing down. Like how we choose ingredients to target specific skincare concerns, hair brands are upgrading products with the same ingredients we know and love – but the complexities of how they are formulated are different. The popular ingredient salicylic acid, for example, is known for helping to exfoliate and unclog pores in blemish-prone skin. But in haircare? The same ingredient works to balance excess oil production and buff away flakes. TARGETED TREATMENTS SKINIFICATION OF HAIR HAIRCARE ADVICE
