Hair SOS: The Best Rescue Treatments for Common Hair Problems

Dry hair

Longing for those lustrous locks you had as youth instead of the dried out bird’s nest on top of your noggin? Neville Hair and Beauty has a way to lock moisture back in and retrieve your youthful glow –naturally. Using only herbs that are used to create medicinal remedies and which have super moisturising and nourishing properties, such as marshmallow, mountain arnica, soya, barley and Asiatic pennywort, the treatment is devised in four stages to really quench that straw-like hair cuticle. The results are swish-tactic – and last for days. Priced from £100. nevillehairandbeauty.net

Hair loss

Philip Kingsley’s just-launched Density hair care range is seriously brilliant. And clinically proven. It’s developed with the latest innovations and pioneering ingredients to help slow hair loss and create your healthiest, personal-best hair at home. These nine hair-care wizards —which come in smart green and gold packaging — thicken and preserve your tresses and stimulate your scalp by exfoliating,  nourishing and plumping strands, and strengthening your locks. You’ll find people remarking on how thick, full and lustrous your hair is —even when it’s fine and previously looked like drowned feathers. Density Scalp Drops (the top wizard) is for hair shedding, about creating the best environment for healthy hair growth, and great too as a preventative treatment for hair loss. All set to become cult beauty items. Priced from £19, philipkingsley.co.uk

Oily Hair

Good old Batiste dry shampoo has been a staple for many a busy woman (or man) who perhaps favours an extra 20 minutes in bed over a hair wash!

Lift your hair in sections and spray a little into the roots, then massage in with your fingertips. It really is a genius invention. £4.99, boots.com
