Danielle Recommends

These are the products I already use in my own routine or in the salon, organised by the hair I reach for them on.

With so many shampoos, conditioners, treatments, oils, sprays and styling products available, choosing the right product can feel overwhelming. I’ve put this page together to make that choice easier.

This page brings together product suggestions based on professional salon experience, hair condition, styling needs and everyday practicality.

Recommended by hair need

For dry or damaged hair

If your hair feels brittle, rough, dull or difficult to manage, it may need more moisture, strengthening or protection.

Recommended product types:

  • Moisturising shampoo
  • Repair conditioner
  • Weekly treatment mask
  • Leave-in conditioner

Coloured hair needs products that help protect tone, shine and condition.

Recommended product types:

  • Colour-safe shampoo
  • Colour-protecting conditioner

Fine hair often needs lightweight products that add body without making the hair feel heavy.

Recommended product types:

  • Lightweight volumising shampoo
  • Root-lift spray
  • Light conditioner
  • Texture spray
  • Flexible hairspray

Good to know: Avoid using too many heavy oils or rich masks near the roots, as these can make fine hair feel flatter.

Frizz is often linked to dryness, humidity, damage or lack of smoothing care.

Recommended product types:

  • Smoothing shampoo
  • Hydrating conditioner
  • Anti-frizz serum
  • Leave-in cream

For hair extensions

Hair extensions need gentle care and the right maintenance routine.

Good to know: Always follow your stylist's aftercare advice for your specific extension method.

Featured recommendations

Redken Frizz Dismiss

I recommend it for: Thick, coarse, long, tangled, frizzy or curly hair that needs moisture, softness and manageability.

I find the shampoo and conditioner complement each other and work best when used together.

Not sure what your hair needs?

Choosing the right product depends on your hair's current condition, not just your hair type. If you're unsure where to start, book a consultation or ask for advice during your appointment.

FAQs

Common questions

How do I choose recommended products?+

I consider hair type, texture, condition, colour history, styling habits, maintenance needs and whether the product is realistic to use at home.

Are recommended products right for everyone?+

No. Recommendations are grouped by hair need because the right product depends on your hair's current condition, not just the category on the bottle.

Can I ask for personalised product advice?+

Yes. If you are unsure what your hair needs, book a consultation or ask during your appointment so I can advise based on your own hair.
