Don’t you love that feeling when you’re fresh from the hairdresser and your hair is silky smooth, strong and simply looks amazing?
For those of us who spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun or use heat-styling products like hairdryers, curlers and irons regularly (AKA all of us!!), you’re probably aware that 95% of the time your hair doesn’t look or feel as healthy as it does post-salon.
It’s hard to maintain that gorgeous salon feeling… well it was until we discovered Original & Mineral’s (O&M) signature hair masque, The Power Base.
Hailed as the golden wand to repair dry and damaged hair, The Power Base is a dual-action treatment that restores your mane from within. It contains wheat protein which reconstructs weakened hair to bind the broken strands. Apricot kernel and sweet almond oils moisturise and nourish.
We have been longtime fans of O&M because they’re an Aussie brand that bridges the gap between natural beauty and luxury. O&M products are PETA-approved and 100% animal cruelty free, which is SO important! The formulations replace harsh chemicals with active natural extracts and minerals, including native Australian ingredients like Lilly Pilly, Banksia Flower, Quandong, Tasmanian Kelp and Kakadu Plum, as well as quality essential oils.
Jose Bryce Smith, founder of O&M says, “I have always been passionate about natural products, wellbeing and beauty and when I saw firsthand how harsh chemical products harm hairdressers and clients, I knew we could make a difference with O&M.”
We’re using our masque in the shower after we shampoo our hair. Rinse out the shampoo and apply The Power Base for one to two minutes. If our hair is feeling really brittle or particularly dry we’ll leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then rinse it out, followed by regular conditioner and get out of the shower feeling like we’ve just left the hair salon AKA we feel a million bucks!
