Beauty Hall Picks – Winter Hair Restoration
March 18, 2010 – 22:38 pm | No Comment

If there is one thing I tend to neglect over winter, it’s my hair! But after the coldest winter for 30 years it’s no wonder I went out in search of a miracle product to rehydrate my dry, dull winter abused locks. After countless remedies and a dent in my wallet I stumbled across a relatively new brand called Ojon and I am so enamoured with the results that I needed to share my new found hair saver!

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment (£39) is made from a nut oil called Ojon. Harvested by a tribal people called the Tawapie in Honduras and used as a remedy for over 500 years, this range promises to tackle any problem. The results? Outstanding!

I melted the oil in my hands and massaged into my scalp and through to the ends of my hair and left the treatment to work its magic over night. The following morning I washed it out using an Ojon hydrating thickening shampoo and conditioner. It was left stunned as my hair was glossy, smooth and perfectly hydrated without a hint of oiliness.

My prescribed ‘ritual’ was to continue using my thickening products and I haven’t looked back since. I suffer from flat, thin hair and the results are remarkable. My hair is fuller and healthier than ever.

There are rituals for most hair concerns from coloured to dry which all contain the Ojon oil including styling aids, my favourites being the Animated Styling Cream and Glossing mist.

Forget you Frederic Fekkai and Philip Kinglsey! Ojon is the way forward and the tribal people of Honduras are well looked after for sharing their secret.

There is only one more thing to say…. Go out and try it!

Available from QVC and selected John Lewis stores. For more information go to www.ojon.com
