How often do we consider what we put on our faces but rarely consider the products we use on our hair.

Skincare packed with pro this and anti that offer a host of solutions to combat the signs of ageing and fatigue. Should we be taking a closer look at the ingredients in our shampoos and conditioners?

I have given this some thought and an independent British brand caught my eye. Having a well-established salon in Islington, North London, Norris Ogario wanted to extend the salon experience to his clients. The passion that Norris puts into making each of his clients feel the centre of attention has gone into the product range. Carefully selecting ingredients based on the belief that if you want to get the best out of your hair, you have to care for it like your skin.

Ogario London have chosen naturally-derived, active ingredients and essential oils, which are combined with a small amount of synthetic preservatives to keep the products safe.

The shampoos, conditioners and hair masque all contain the Protein Protect formula, a unique nourishing blend of pro-vitamin B5 and super strengthening proteins developed exclusively by us. Pro-vitamin B5 (otherwise known as panthenol) is a plant-derived emollient, prized for its ability to penetrate hair. That means it’s a brilliant ingredient for helping to improve damaged hair and reducing split ends while adding shine and texture.

Add to this soy, silk and wheat proteins to strengthen, soften and shine hair. The conditioners and hair masque are even more effective by adding avocado oil, which is loaded with natural fats that are great for the hair and scalp. Vitamins A, D and E help to protect and strengthen, restoring shine and health. Last but not least high levels of essential oils are also added.

The range includes Hydrate and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner for dry and colour-treated hair. Revive and Shine Shampoo and Conditionerfor all hair types and the award winning Restore and Shine Hair Masque also for all hair types.

So that all sounds lovely but do they work? Let’s say the Pureology I was addicted to hasn’t been touched since these products arrived! I’ve had so many compliments about shiny hair since I’ve started using these products, and someone even said my hair looked lush – love it! You only have to open the bottle to enjoy the uplifting fragrance, but use it in the shower and the whole bathroom is enveloped, and best of all the fragrance last on your hair all day.

Follow the instructions and work up the product in your hand as it creates a better lather that way. I love the no nonsense approach by Ogario London, the range is effective and multitasking, leaving your hair looking healthy, shining and fragrant.

Prices start from £14.50, the gift pack comes with a gift box, and there’s even a 20% discount if you subscribe for a year’s supply.

Ogario London products can be purchased from the salon or online. The website is full of information, hair advice and inspiration.
