Secret Weapon

At $41, I was skeptical. 

 

As I stood in O Coiffure & Spa and as I read the bottle which promised “heat-activated reconstructing milk for brittle, damaged hair”, I thought, “How good could it possibly be?”.

 

HAIR ENVY

I have damaged, colour treated hair, and a sensitive scalp, so although its easier on the pocketbook, drugstore shampoo just doesn’t cut it.

A long time user of BIOLAGE hydratherapy and colourcaretherapy, I decided to mix things up a bit on a recent visit to NDG’s Carte Blanche Coiffure. 

Enter KEVIN.MURPHY – a salon-only professional range of sulphate and paraben-free hair care products from Australia, from the father of the modern “beach hair” look.

With ingredients like Jojoba Seed, Evening Primrose Oil and something called Kakadu Plum, Kevin Murphy is a breath of Dr. Pepper-scented fresh air for your tired locks. It cleanses and moisturizes without the heavy, oily feeling that often comes from trying to remedy straightener-frazzled ends.

It made my hair feel light and soft, which is an accomplishment in itself. 

Available at over 20 different salons across Montreal, and priced  between $26-$35, Kevin Murphy is an indulgence that is well worth-it.
