For chic and glossy strands, these are the French hair products our team swear by

We'd love to do as the French women do and keep mum on our go-to haircare buys, but they're simply too good not to share...

Be it makeup or style, no one does it quite like the French and so, when it comes to achieving healthy and ultra-shiny hair, it's in these French haircare buys our team trust.

If you were to quiz any of our beauty colleagues on where the majority of their beauty products and overall inspiration comes from, France would most likely top the list. Our French makeup collections are our pride and joys - and don't even get us started on the French perfumes that adorn our dressers. So, it will likely come as no surprise then, when we say that our haircare regimes also feature a fair few formulas that herald from across the pond. Much like how Dior and Chanel - to name just a few - now dominate the makeup and fragrance markets, many French haircare brands have established themselves with their effective and hardworking formulas. Some of which, you've probably heard of (like Kérastase) and perhaps a few you haven't.

So, if you're keen to invest in a few or are just looking to achieve healthier strands, these are the five shampoos, hair perfumes and serums that can always be found in our team's showers and cabinets...

The 5 French haircare formulas our beauty team swear by

Now, of course, you shouldn't invest in a product just because it's French but there's no denying that the premise has a certain je ne sais quoi and never fails to make one feel chic. We certainly feel that way whenever we apply our favourite Dior Addict Lip Glow and spritz our best Diptyque perfumes, though their formulas too, make them well worthy of it. And like them, these haircare buys also have the quality and rave reviews to warrant investing in them.

Naomi's brightening and scent-boosting favourites

While not technically a haircare product, if you're in the market for a new hair perfume or something to layer with your signature scents, Naomi has kindly lifted the lid on one of her other hair essentials - the Diptyque Fleur de Peau hair mist.

Sennen's go-to detoxifying hair oil

Sennen adds that the main, standout feature of this hair oil for her though, is that, " it doesn’t leave your strands (or palms) with a greasy film, allowing for a fuss-free and mess-free application. Not to mention, it works all this magic while allowing me to feel safe knowing it’s also protecting my hair against heated styling of up to 230 degrees."
