Haircare Gold: A Can't Live Without

There is one product I cannot live without.

It’s not a beauty potion or a skincare miracle, although there are still plenty to fall into that category.

When it comes to my hair I cannot be separated from dry shampoo. Truly, it’s a lifesaver.

On our recent trip to Paris, the Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo saved the day (actually the evening) about three times. I absolutely love it and especially the way it makes my less-than-ready-to-go hair work. I was late to the party to enjoy the benefits of dry shampoo so I guess I am making up for lost time. This makes my hair feel clean and voluminous and it also makes the silver shades very clear.

We were running all over town during the day, starting early and finishing late in the evening, there wasn’t the time to work on an immaculate blow dry. The thing about having the grey (maybe it is my sensitivity) but I like it to look well groomed most of the time. It’s the fine line, especially with longer hair, between looking groomed and downright messy – not cool messy French style – but messy as in unloved. I had already washed and conditioned with the Oribe Silverati line before our trip so it was just a case of maintaining with a blow over and spray.

Easy, easy and that’s what I need when I am on the move.

Hair is a funny thing; I find if it feels good, I feel good and even more so now I am courting silver. Natural hair, especially as it is changing colour, needs extra vigilant attention and the right products to suit. Going grey is not a quick fix for most and it is a patient process. The Oribe Silverati products have really helped me maintain my equilibrium when I have felt like faltering. In particular, when my hair still had blond remnants, the silver products were my best friends.

Oribe is still my best silver shampoo and conditioner. – I have experimented with many, but these work beautifully for me. The Oribe dry shampoo is also one I use sparingly but nothing works as well as this to hold the volume. I do a lot of “upside down” spraying and blow-drying to get the look I want. Believe it or not, I have even started teasing a little underneath?

Maybe the French “messy” has rubbed off. xv
