Oribe

Like 264K others on Instagram, we are #OribeObsessed. The luxury line was founded by Oribe Canales, a stylist-to-the-stars synonymous with the larger than life hair of the supermodel era. Canales sadly died earlier this year but his legacy lives on in his restorative and texturising products. The plumping mouse is second-to-none, creating unbeatable va-va-voom volume, while the Gold Lust conditioner makes hair shine like patent leather. Products are lightly scented with Oribe’s signature French perfume for hair that looks, and smells, wonderful.

Davines

Hailing from Parma in Italy, Davines started life as a research lab that formulated high-end products for cosmetic companies worldwide, before launching its own salon line in 1996. It arrived quietly in the UK in 2006 but in recent years has gained cult-status for its plant-based, supremely effective products. The paraffin-free OI shampoo and conditioner are both industry heroes; creamy, nourishing products that bestow luscious body and shine. Natural ingredients are grown ethically by Italian farmers and all packaging is both recycled and recyclable. We could rave about Davines all day – a world of ethical, spirited products created with science and packaged with style.

Rahua

For hair like spun-gold, try Rahua. The plant-powered brand takes its name from an ancient Amazonian nut, regarded by women of the Quechua-Shuar tribe as the secret to thick, lustrous locks. The 100% organic products are produced in sustainable partnership with the Quechua-Shuar tribe, supporting the preservation of the rainforest. For hair like an Amazonian goddess, try the signature shampoo, which is like “luxurious golden royal jelly” with a subtle nutty scent. A few golden drops of Rahua’s Elixir, enriched with omega-9, will instantly smooth coarse hair, strengthening and softening from root to tip.
