2018 resolutions

The New Year is a great time for a new you. Here are a few easy resolutions worth making and sticking to…

• Try limiting the use of heated styling appliances – too much heat will dehydrate your hair and lead to breakage.
• Always use a heat protector – the biggest trend for spring 2018 is healthy hair. Healthy hair will style more easily, give you more shine and bounce and is essential for long-lasting colour.
• Replace your conditioner once a week with a hair mask or conditioning treatment. Your Coco’s stylist will happily recommend the right one for you.
• Ask your Coco’s stylist to include Olaplex, Awapuhi Keratriplex or Hydratriplex with your next colour treatment for longer-lasting colour. The scientifically developed treatments work on your hair condition from the inside, resulting in structurally stronger improved hair condition, so your gorgeous shade lasts and lasts.
• Regular trims are essential. The best way to keep your hair healthy is to eliminate dry ends with a regular hair cut. Consider booking a conditioning treatment at the same time for ultimate hair maintenance.
• Drink lots of water to rehydrate your hair and skin.
