Healthy hair starts long before styling, it begins with the scalp, the right textures and products that genuinely work. In this edit, we spotlight five formulas that target the issues most of us face: flakiness, dullness, breakage, frizz and flatness. Consider it your shortcut to stronger, shinier, better-behaved hair that will turn heads wherever you go.
AVANT Serene Scalp Recovery Exfoliating Treatment
A gentle but effective pre-wash formula designed to reset the scalp, remove product build-up and soothe irritation. Using a blend of chemical exfoliants and calming botanical extracts, it lifts dead skin cells, reduces flakiness and helps create the ideal foundation for healthy hair growth.
Apply to dry scalp, massage in, leave for 5–10 minutes, then rinse and shampoo. Ideal for stressed, flaky or congested scalps needing a weekly reset. £72 (80ml). avant-skincare.com
CHES The Ultimate Oil Edition 11
A 100 percent natural botanical hair oil designed to nourish the scalp, soften strands and boost shine without silicones. Use it as a pre-wash treatment by massaging a few drops into the scalp and working through mid-lengths to ends before shampooing or apply a tiny amount on dry hair as a finishing gloss to tame frizz.
Ideal for dry, textured or dull hair, it supports healthier growth by improving scalp condition and restoring lasting moisture. £45 (30ml)| cheseditions.com
DR BARBARA STURM Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo
A strengthening, science-led formula designed to reduce breakage and support fuller, healthier-looking hair. Powered by cress and purslane extracts, it nourishes follicles, calms the scalp and reinforces the hair shaft, helping to minimise shedding caused by stress, styling or dryness.
With consistent use, it restores vitality, boosts resilience and leaves hair feeling cleaner, stronger and more balanced. £50 (250ml) | drsturm.com
REHAB Hair Milk Conditioning Heat Protection Spray
If your main problem is frizzy hair, this is your dream product. A lightweight, moisturising mist that shields hair from heat styling while keeping it soft, smooth and frizz-free. Formulated with hydrating botanicals and nourishing oils, it conditions strands, improves manageability and protects against breakage caused by dryers, straighteners and curling tools.
Mist evenly onto clean, damp hair before styling, comb through, then blow-dry or heat-style as desired. It delivers a silky finish without weight or residue. £24 (290ml) | rehabyourhair.com
AVEDA Abundant Blow Out Spray
This is a game-changing volumising spray ideal for fine or flat hair. It lifts hair from the roots, enhances body and creates a fuller, bouncier blow-dry. Powered by botanical actives and Aveda’s signature clean formulation ethos, it adds flexible hold while protecting hair from heat and humidity up to 24 hours.
Spray generously onto clean, damp hair, focusing on the roots before blow-drying with a round brush. Expect salon movement without stickiness. £29 (150ml) | aveda.co.uk
Whether your concern is breakage, frizz, lack of volume or a tired scalp, these targeted treatments offer real solutions. With the right tools, every day can be a good hair day.
