“Lathering up your

mane with Kakadu Plum

Shampoo and Conditioner.

It’s a gentle plant-based formula,

which can help transform dry or

damaged hair to look and feel

fuller,” says Nader. This may

also be a good ingredient to

look out for if you’re a daily

washer as the nourishing

ingredients won’t dry out

hair. Nader further explains

the benefits of the

Australian native are

endless – the fruit is rich

in vitamin C (providing

hydration, making it less

likely to break), it’s

nutrient-rich and also

“helps maintain the level

of collagen and elastin,

which is essential for

healthy, glossy and

lustrous hair”.

COLOUR IN

4

“When having your hair

coloured, to avoid a

lacklustre and dull look,

ask your colourist for some

‘dimensional highlights’,” says

Nader. “This basically means

incorporating two to three

different but complementary

tones when highlighting rather

than only applying one. This

works such a treat with finer

hair strands!”

SERUM

SOLUTION

2

“One of my biggest loves

is using a serum,” says

Nader, advising “only

when your strands are damp,

never apply on dry hair”. Why?

“When the product is applied

on damp strands, the cuticle

absorbs far

better,” which

allows all the

nutrients to

work their

magic. If you

apply a serum on

dry hair, Nader

says, hair won’t

absorb the product

as well and this will

result in your locks

just appearing dirty

and weighed dow

SEEK VOLUME

3

“For longer-lasting

volume, I always

recommend a few shorter

layers within the interior of your

haircut,” says Nader, adding,

“If you have a bob or shoulder-

length shape, ask your stylist for

my top tip and you’ll notice a

huge difference. And layers

will also add ‘energy’ to your

hairstyle to help it last longer.”
