Gorgeous hair thanks to Italian beauty products
Fancy having wonderful hair, not just today or tomorrow, but all year round? Read on to find out more about our best Italian haircare products.
Now that summer has arrived, your hair needs an extra dose of love. With this in mind, let’s cast a glance at our Italian neighbours. Italy gets around 320 days of sunshine a year – a boon for the soul, but not so much for the hair. It’s little wonder, then, that several extravagant haircare products come from Bella Italia.
Cared-for hair thanks to Davines and other brands
Specialising in high-quality hair care products, Davines has long been known beyond Italy’s borders. Founded in 1983, the family-owned company is also hugely popular with hairdressers. Davines says its Oi hair butter deeply nourishes hair, giving it shine and softness. Biofficina Toscana’s Reinforcing Shampoo is also a real moisture booster, and contains a special active ingredient from the skin of Tuscan-grown tomatoes. Alongside honey and organic carrot oil, it cleanses and restores shine to brittle hair.
Extra Delicate Vitamin, on the other hand, is a Collistar conditioner, which, according to the brand, provides your hair with optimal moisture. It also restores the scalp’s natural balance of oil and moisture, which makes for a gorgeous look. What’s more, it makes your hair easier to style.
Well-brushed with Acca Kappa
Anyone who’s ever switched from a bog-standard brush to a higher quality one will know the difference between the two is like night and day. If you’re looking for the right hairbrush, give Acca Kappa a try. The Italian brand uses pads made of natural rubber and, depending on what the hair needs, boar bristles or polyamide loops. They stimulate scalp circulation and gently detangle your locks.
Well-styled with Alfaparf and Hyalustar
Hair nicely brushed, it’s time to get styling. Our range is full of high-quality hair care products from Alfaparf Milano. Semi Di Lino volumising spray strengthens your hair and provides intense colour. According to Alfaparf, the Vintage Powder Spray lends even fine hair serious volume. At the same time, it does a wonderful job of keeping your locks in place. The Hyalustar Super Hair Filler is well-suited to finishing off your style. According to the Italian brand, this vegan product gives you an instant moisture boost and strengthens hair from the scalp down.

Well-protected with BioNike, Diego Dalla Palma
BioNike hair care products are specially designed for people with a sensitive scalp and thin hair. Shampoo Defence Hair is well-suited to hair in need of gentle cleansing and frequent washing. It contains soothing ingredients that relieve irritation. You can pamper damaged hair with a nourishing mask from Diego Dalla Palma. The manufacturer says its special blend of fermented oils boosts moisturising and antioxidant properties, strengthening and softening the hair. Licofarma, meanwhile, has the solution for particularly sensitive hair. Its Xoriderm Serum, for example, is an oil-free lotion specially formulated for frequent use for people with psoriasis, dermatitis or dandruff. Licofarma says the product helps prevent the scalp from flaking and creates shine and softness.
