“Healthy hair begins when it’s free from stress.” The brand philosophy of Original & Mineral hair care is based on recusing chemical overload on hair – they’ve remove harsh ingredients and replaced them with natural extracts with active minerals, sourced from across Australia.
O&M has developed a shampoo and conditioner for every type of hair, and these amazing formulas are free from parabans, MIT and Triclosan (yucky chemicals and detergents typically included in shampoos). They also have an amazing range of styling products, like the awarded Rootalicious root lift, Frizzy Logic shine serum, or much-loved Surf Bomb sea salt texture spray.
For my dry and damaged hair, the Seven Day Miracle Shampoo and Moisture Masque are wonder products. Ingredients like macadamia seed oil and cold-pressed Australian argan oil work to boost moisture. Added vanilla bean gives the formulas an amazing, delicious scent. And with hair now super long, I am completely addicted to the Know Knott detangler.
Now that I’ve tried O&M products I can’t live without them – and my new O&M travel kit will be perfect for my upcoming weekend away in Italy.
O&M also develops colour technology for hair, featuring 99 shades free from harsh chemicals like ammonia, PPD and resorcinol. The long-lasting pigments are made from a blend of natural actives that deeply penetrate hair with colour.
O&M products are available via Net-a-Porter and O&M salons. Click here to access the store locator.
