Out of the hoards of products we’ve tried and tested this month, here are our top six beauty picks that well and truly get the Rescu. stamp of approval…
Hair to stay
1. Paul Mitchell Fast Form and Hot Off The Press
What is it? Fast Form– a cream gel that tames locks, adds shine and long lasting flexible hold, and speeds up damp-hair-drying time.
Hot off the press– a humidity resistant thermal protection spray that protects against heat damage while providing flexible hold for finished styles.
Why do we love it? Using Fast Form closely followed by Hot off the Press, not only protects our strands from the dreaded GHD, but it also saves us a few precious minutes of our morning beauty routine by halving our hair drying time.
Fast Form RRP $27.95 and Hot Off The Press RRP $23.95 Ph) 1300 365 350
2. Evo Mister Fantastic Texture Spray
What is it? A handy little spray that instantly adds texture and volume to hair.
Why do we love it? Aptly named, Mister Fantastic instantly added fullness and texture into our formerly fine and lifeless hair, sans stickiness. It also smells amazing, and works as a thermal protector to protect our strands from our hairdryer and straightener. Mister Fantastic- you’re a keeper!
