Locks Down

Having always sidelined hair oil into a category marked ‘for other people’, I’ve recently tried Saaf Organic Enriching Hair Oil, 24.99 pounds. Largely because I am a huge Saaf fan, I’ve been persuaded to try new things from the range which is a blessing because I’ve discovered that hair oil doesn’t leave my locks limp and oily – I thought it would. Leave it in for a couple of hours before washing (no hardship because it smells deliciously exotic and floral), and then just wash as normal. Far from leaving my hair heavy and horrid, it’s given it a lush gloss and left it feeling softer than soft. I’m inclined to say that it has helped cut down on frizz, but it really needs the California test – that state left me with the worst holiday hair of my life (all pics torn up and burned) – because if it can combat that humidity, it is truly a miracle.
