Beauty indulgence of the month



Hot weather, cold weather, sea water, chlorine, styling products, colourants ... The list of daily enemies waging war on our hair is enough to send you reaching for the clippers - but don't despair! If you want to treat your tresses to some full-on TLC, why not head to the salon and indulge in a professional hair-saving treatment at the hands of the experts?

It's a good idea to ask your stylist to recommend the best treatment to suit your hair - but in the meantime, here are three top treatments to inspire you to indulge.

The problem? 'My hair looks so lifeless'

The solution: ghd Emergency Rescue (around £40). Cult haircare brand ghd has just launched a range of spa therapies described as 'facials for the hair' - and this fast-rescue 30-minute treatment has been specifically designed to breathe much-needed life back into tresses damaged by heat, chemicals and unhealthy lifestyles. For details, go to www.ghdhair.com or book an appointment at the Titanic Spa (www.titanicspa.com).

The problem? 'I'm tired - and so's my hair!'

The solution? Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ceremony (from £45). Choose between an invigorating or relaxing treatment, accompanied by an uber-relaxing scalp massage based on shiatsu techniques. Your hair is also shampooed and conditioned to leave it looking and feeling fully revived. For more information, go to www.shuuemuraartofhair.com.

The problem? 'Pollution's playing havoc with my hair'

The solution? Congestion Charge Hair Treatment (£25 or free with a cut or colour at The Parlour in east London). Take care of limp locks by having them nurtured with a special blend of decongesting basil and mint shampoo to deep cleanse and invigorate your hair and scalp. Once hair is squeaky clean, lie back and enjoy an Indian head massage. A pure blend of basil and mint conditioners helps detox your tresses, leaving you with bouncy, lively locks that radiate with health. For details, go to www.theparlouruk.com.
