In the evolving hair care landscape, 'skinification' has emerged, blurring the lines between skincare and hair care.
As Larry King aptly states, "Hair is everything." This shift in perspective has led to a heightened awareness of hair health, with individuals increasingly mindful of their products and their impact on hair quality. Indeed, as Larry King emphasises, "We are all becoming more aware of our hair health," recognising that the journey to good hair begins with the right products and regimen. In this vein, Christophe Robin echoes the sentiment, advocating for the same care for the scalp as one would give to one's face. According to him, "Scalps deserve the same level of attention and care as your skin", underscoring the importance of nurturing the scalp to promote healthy hair growth.
Building on these insights, Jordan, The DO Salon’s Senior Executive and vivid colour maestro, emphasises the significance of understanding one’s hair type. He shares:
"The best hair tip I can give is understanding your hair type and using products to enhance your own hair and its texture"
With this personalised approach in mind, we asked Jordan what he recommends to his clients seeking voluminous, luscious locks—particularly if they face dry, limp, thin, or damaged hair.
Below is Jordan’s curated Volume regime using Christophe Robin & Larry King haircare and styling products:
Shampoo once with Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumising Paste, a game-changer in the quest for full-bodied hair. This innovative shampoo boasts a unique paste-like texture that transforms into a foam upon contact with water. Infused with purifying rassoul clay and rose extracts, it gently cleanses the hair and scalp while imparting lightweight volume and density. Jordan favours this product for its ability to remove impurities and build-up without weighing down the hair, laying the foundation for voluminous styling.
Complementing the Volumising Paste is the Christophe Robin Delicate Volumising Conditioner, a luxurious treatment that nourishes and detangles while adding an enviable lift to the hair. Enriched with rose and baobab leaf extracts, this conditioner delivers essential hydration without compromising volume. Its lightweight formula ensures the hair remains airy and buoyant, making it an ideal companion for those seeking lasting volume without sacrificing softness and manageability.
For styling, Jordan loves Larry King's Volumising Hair Mist and My Nanna's Mousse - two powerhouse products that work in tandem to amplify texture and height. Larry King's Volumising Hair Mist is formulated with a blend of keratin amino acids and botanical extracts, providing instant lift and hold without any sticky residue. Meanwhile, My Nanna's Mousse offers flexible, long-lasting volume courtesy of its lightweight, non-greasy formula. These styling essentials create the perfect foundation for voluminous, salon-worthy hairdos at home.
To enhance the efficacy of these products, Jordan recommends incorporating high-quality tools like Ibiza Hairbrushes and rollers into your styling routine. By using high-quality brushes, these tools add structure and volume to the hair, ensuring that each strand is lifted and defined for maximum impact. Importantly, Ibiza hairbrushes are a strong blend of natural boar and heat-resistant carbon bristles, so your hair will not get stuck, will not rip or break.
Finally, Jordan suggests finishing with Larry King's Social Life for Hair to seal the deal and achieve a flawless, polished finish. This lightweight, anti-static cream tames frizz and flyaway hair while imparting a glossy sheen, leaving the hair looking impeccably smooth and refined.
With these carefully selected products and expert recommendations, Jordan empowers his clients to embrace their natural volume and unlock their hair's full potential.
As we embrace the concept of "skinification" in hair care, it's essential to acknowledge the symbiotic relationship between hair health and overall well-being. Just as we prioritise skincare routines tailored to our individual needs, so should we approach hair care with the same level of intentionality and care. By understanding our hair type, using quality products, and nurturing our scalp as an extension of our skin, we can achieve hair that looks beautiful and feels healthy and vibrant.
