Plant based plumping!

The autumn and winter can play havoc on our skin and hair, and party season should be the perfect time to look glorious!

With that in mind, I have some recommendations for hair and skin to restore lost volume in your hair and give you juicy skin right in time for Christmas.

Aveda

Aveda has introduced its Invati Ultra Advanced, the ultimate hair care solution for thicker, fuller hair. Building on the success of Aveda’s iconic Invati range, the Invati Ultra Advanced line features more potent formulations that combine nature’s power with advanced science.

After years of research, this new range provides a holistic approach to haircare, catering to various hair types and needs with two key options, light and rich.

The light version is perfect for fine to medium hair, delivering volume and nourishment with a weightless finish. In contrast, the rich version is tailored for medium to thick hair, offering deep hydration to combat dryness and frizz while leaving hair smooth and manageable.

Why Invati? It’s clinically proven to reduce hair loss by 53% due to breakage when used as part of a 3-step system. It also strengthens and nourishes. With certified organic turmeric, ginseng, and a patented bio-fermented blend to invigorate the scalp and strengthen hair from root to tip.

Its advanced scalp revitalisers promote a healthy environment for hair growth.

Who should consider it?

- Those experiencing postpartum hair loss. New mothers facing hair loss will benefit from this effective solution.

- Menopausal women: Women experiencing thinning hair during menopause can find relief with these formulations.

It’s also for men dealing with receding hairlines or bald spots who will find the range supports thicker, fuller hair. While not primarily focused on hair loss, it’s also for Gen Z who are proactive about maintaining hair health and thickness.

It’s Exfoliating Shampoo (200ml/€38) cleanses and exfoliates the scalp, removing build-up.

The Thickening Conditioner (200ml/€43.50) instantly thickens and strengthens hair, protecting against breakage. The Fortifying Leave-In Treatment (100ml€45.00) adds resilience to hair and protects from breakage. Its Scalp Revitaliser (150ml/€69.50) is a daily treatment that energises the scalp and thickens hair at the root while the Styling Foam (€44) adds resilience and stabilises thinning hair fibres to prevent breakage.

Aveda’s Invati Ultra Advanced range is the ultimate solution for those seeking thicker, healthier hair.
