BEST FOR: Taming frizz and flyaways.
THE BENEFITS: A blend of charcoal
extract and amino acids promise to smooth
hair, restore resilience and fight frizz.
Suitable for all types (coloured, permed,
highlighted or bleached), it naturally fades
away after approximately 15 washes.
WE SAY: “It was obvious this formula
contained no nasty chemicals. My hair felt
smoother, but the three days that followed
were trying – no elastics or washing.
However, once I washed my hair, it
looked noticeably shinier with less frizz.”

THE BENEFITS: Looking after the skin on your scalp like the skin
on your face is the aim of this treatment, devised to cleanse and balance
the skin. To start the ritual, a specially designed brush with loop bristles
is run through dry hair to dislodge product build-up and dead skin cells
and increase micro-circulation. Next, a cleanser is massaged into the
roots, before a regular shampoo is applied and everything is rinsed
off. Then it’s a conditioning mask and a dose of the Pramāsana Scalp
Concentrate, which helps protect the scalp and ward off free radicals.
WE SAY: “My scalp has never felt so tingly or thoroughly cleansed.
It cleared my flakiness problem, and left my fine strands feeling lighter
than usual. It was a good add-on treatment to a regular salon blow-dry.”

BEST FOR: Re-energising dull, damaged hair.
THE BENEFITS: Inspired by skincare, this
customised program uses an in-salon app to
examine hair from root to tip, and then diagnose
your hair’s unique “energy profile” to determine
its needs. A care-coded system is prescribed
(comprised of vitamin B, caffeine, histidine and
natural lipids), including an indulgent mask, dry-in
treatment or rinse-out ritual, to help transform hair.
WE SAY: “After a summer spent at the beach
and pool, my hair was looking dry and limp (plus
I was guilty of disguising it with messy buns and
ponytails). Post-treatment, my hair is healthier,
more manageable and flowing freely again.”
