Lipstick Powder N Paint

We can thank the Hairspray movie for introducing this star hair product to a new generation. The number of people who rely on this fine mist for everyday wear is higher than you think.

It provides an essential function – finishing off any look with hold while making your do look natural.

Like mascara, finding the right brand for your hair is tricky. Those with poker straight hair need more hold than those with naturally textured locks. We have tested some of the best brands on the market to find out which ones work best.

Herbal Essences’ new collection, Hydralicious, marries two different shampoos in each bottle for a swirled effect. Every bottle has a different pattern, making them as pretty as they are effective.

The line includes three shampoos and three conditioners, and each combo works together for customized hydration. Hydralicious Featherweight is formulated for hair that needs a little bit of body. It hydrates perfectly, without weighing your hair down. Hydralicious Self-Targeting is focused on providing your damaged locks with just the right amount of moisture. A fusion of red vanilla and whipped aloe, and a Liquid Crystal polymer targets only the drier surfaces. The third set, Hydralicious Reconditioning, is for those who need a little extra love. It protects against key sources of dehydration like heat styling and colouring.

Your hair will welcome the extra moisture, and each version smells fantastic.
