HOT OFF THE PRESS: DARK & LOVELY MOISTURE PLUS SATIN OIL

Every night my hair takes a beating. This became apparent to me recently when I attended the launch of Dark and Lovely Moisture Plus and learned all about the importance of wrapping up and protecting ones tresses with a silk or satin scarf during those crucial beauty sleep hours.

According to Dark and Lovely local expert Hansen Ndabeni, wrapping up is important because it acts as a ‘sealant’, ensuring that vital nutrients needed to make the hair growth process most effective aren’t lost.

It’s thanks to this practice that Dark and Lovely’s latest little wonder – Moisture Plus Satin Oil (R39.95, leading retailers) – was developed. Launching this month, this oil-based product acts as a daytime sealant – the equivalent of your bedtime scarf – because wrapping up in a scarf everyday can become tedious.

I for one am now more determined than ever to pay attention to my hair’s needs – particularly during the day when it’s most vulnerable to heat damage and exposure to dirt, grime and other unsavoury external factors.
