Looking for Rapunzel-like locks?

If you feel like your hair just will not grow, a common complaint among Irish women, then we have some very good news thanks to this innovative new 'hair training programme'. Considering the current craze for hair extensions, it's fair to say long, swishy locks are more popular than ever before. If you're after a voluminous mane of your own, you'll be delighted to hear that the hair gods at Kérastase have developed a number of products, specifically to promote healthy hair growth. Kérastase Résistance Extentioniste includes a shampoo, conditioner, mask and serum all of which are designed to be used together in the quest for strong, long locks. The range is described as daily boot camp for hair as it "strengthens the hair from root to tip" and includes a specially-formulated combination of Creatine R Complex, the amino acid Taurine and Maleic Acid. These three ingredients together reinforce the structure and surface of the hair fibre while maintaining shine, elasticity and most importantly, strength, which means new hair growth is healthier than ever before. While there are four products in total, the one that really intrigues me is the Scalp and Hair Serum, priced at €50. It's described as a "true hero product" and contains ceramides that target hair damage in addition to restoring the hair cuticle. As Kérastatse convert will know, there are a number of products in each range and this one includes Bain Extentioniste (€21.60), Fondant Extentioniste, (€26.10), and Masque Extentioniste, (€39.60,  a length-strengthening mask. The masque can be used daily if you have thick hair but those with fine locks will want to limit it to once a week. With regular use, you should see a significant improvement in both the growth and health of your crowning glory. The range launches in salons this month and I imagine it will be very popular with ladies hankering after long, healthy hair.
