Colouring and bleaching of hair can bring oodles of pleasure. However, hair may withstand a single process but regularly double or triple processing of hair can damage the structure of hair even leading to complete disintegration.
Normal silicone-heavy conditioners and masques weigh fine hair down creating a greasy, limp look. They also maskdamage and resist uptake of good ingredients.Swell’s formulas contain no silicones, just 97% natural goodness to leave fine hair looking rich, luxurious and vibrant with natural colour.
Swell’s weightless, no-silicone ULTIMATE VOLUME MASQUE is essential for coloured, bleached or just plain dry hair. Use at least once a week and especially after colouring or processing to bring intensive hydration, repair and luxurious volume to coloured, processed and dry hair.
Swell's weightless, silicone-free ULTIMATE VOLUME MASQUE gives intensive hydration, builds body and helps prevent breakage. Use once a week on frizzy, curly hair.
Because frizzy and curly hair is more porous than other hair types make doubly sure you rinse shampoo even more thoroughly to avoid damage and product build up.
Curly hair can have a rougher cuticle which makes it look dull. Using synthetic silicone-laden products can give an unnatural shine but leaves it looking greasy. Using Swell’s 3 STEP SYSTEM makes hair shine with real health, and colours appear brighter and more natural.
Get excited by generous gypsy curls and waves with Swell’s new ULTIMATE CURL & BOUNCE TONIC. Just spray in and 10 minutes later watch as curls become defined and springy in front of your eyes.
Soft, baby fine or fragile hair is prone to go limp very easily, so don’t overload with product as this will make your soft hair even softer. Often just a pea-sized amount of product is sufficient. Experiment with finding just the right amount of product for your hair type.
Conditioner left in for too long can make hair too soft and therefore lose shape. If you have fine soft hair try rinsing out after a couple of seconds to condition without making hair go limp.
