I first met Poppy in the salon this month for a makeover. Yet when Poppy turned up (above right image), I liked her hair as it was. But then Poppy explained, and I understood. She’d washed her hair and applied our LifeSaver UV before she left the house. She arrived with it naturally dried in soft beachy waves.
Poppy showed me this picture (above left) taken in July 2021 before she started using LifeSaver Treatments. She'd been using our products for 18 months before this visit, and her hair had changed from the thin, brittle and broken you can see in this picture to soft, shiny and thick today.

LifeSaver UV is so versatile and it’s the ‘go-to’ product for my own hair.
So Poppy's hair wasn't the usual ‘before’ horrors. Some lumps were missing from the old haircut on the left and the roots ready for colour, but we could deal with that.

We used a little Volumising Mousse to enhance thickness and texture whilst stylist lightly with our Round Styling Brush.
