Miss Lipstick Daily: Anti-ageing hair

, Prev Next

"Anti-ageing" products seem to be creeping into every corner of our bathroom cabinets. Anti-ageing make-up? Check. Wrinkle-proof skin care? Check. Sag-stopping body potions? Check. Rejuvenating nail polish? You name it, I have, it. Or so I thought.

It appears I overlooked something: my hair. While I seem to be a top-to-toe sucker for any "anti-ageing" slogan slapped on a label, could my efforts be blown by walking around with a shabby, mass of crinkly "old" hair?

Hair care brand, Schwarzkopf, is celebrating its 101st birthday this year, and appears to have a product for every year of existence. Any hair affliction or covetable asset, these guys have your back.

What caught my attention was its BC Time Restore range. Shampoo, conditioners and serum with Q10 collagen that is usually associated with skin renewal. However, the buzz ingredient can also, allegedly restore "suppleness and shine" to ageing hair.

Sounds a little far fetched, no? After luscious lathering, avid serum application and a quick blast with the hair dryer (on cool, of course), surprisingly my scepticism was proved wrong. Well, I didlook salon fresh. Or as close to it as possible.

Did it make my hair look "younger"? Shinier, yes. More supple, definitely. But, luckily, no baby hair fringe or pigtails appeared. Well, it gets my vote.

I just discovered this new VIP Discount Card called "PLATINUM BEAUTY CARD" (fundraising for the NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION) - see www.platinumbeautycard.net. It gives you up to 50% OFF hair and beauty services (eg. 50% off all Ella Rouge facials, $250 gift card to use on services or products when you buy a hair service etc). They're exclusive offers bc it's for fundraising. You also get VIP invites to beauty & hair events. Really cool! The card is selling for 50% off! (intro thing) + you get a FREE 2nd card (just quote "Missy"). Use it once and it pays for itself and you're helping such a fabulous cause. Plus it's valid to 30 June 2010! I'm giving the 2nd card to mum as one of her Mother's Day pressies!
