Let’s be real—everyone wants that effortlessly gorgeous hair. You know the kind – shiny, strong, full of bounce, and totally healthy. But the truth is, there’s no magic wand for perfect hair (sadly!). It all comes down to a solid routine, good habits, and using the right products—especially if you’re living that Aussie lifestyle with our sun, salt, and sea.
So whether you’re beach-hopping, city-living, or anything in between, here are the 5 must-follow rules for hair that looks just as good as it feels—brought to you by your mates at GK Hair Australia.
1. Keep It Hydrated, Always
Dry, brittle hair? No thanks. Aussie weather can be harsh—sun exposure, salty water, and dry air all pull moisture right out of your strands.
💡 Stylist tip: Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner—we swear by the GK Hair Moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner. Packed with our superstar ingredient Juvexin V2 (a keratin-based protein blend), it hydrates, strengthens, and brings back the shine – no heaviness, no fuss.
Pro move: Add a deep conditioning mask once a week for an extra hit of moisture.
2. Heat Protectant or Regret It
Love your straightener or curling wand? Same. But don’t fry your hair in the process. Heat styling without protection is a fast track to dry, damaged ends.
Stylist tip: Before you bring out the heat tools, apply GK Hair’s ThermalStyleHer Cream. It acts like a heat shield and keeps your strands smooth, shiny, and frizz-free. A non-negotiable if you’re heat styling on the regular.
3. Don’t Skip Your Trims
Trying to grow your hair out? Skipping trims is actually working against you. Split ends can creep up the hair shaft and cause more breakage – which means more cuts down the line.
✂️ Stylist tip: Book in for a trim every 8 to 10 weeks to keep your ends fresh and healthy. Even just a little dusting makes all the difference.
4. Say Goodbye to Sulphates
Harsh sulphates strip your hair of its natural oils and can mess with colour or keratin treatments – not ideal.
🌿 Stylist tip: Go for sulphate-free formulas like all of GK Hair’s shampoos. They gently cleanse while preserving colour, moisture, and treatment results – especially important if you’ve had a salon treatment.
5. Feed Your Hair from the Inside Out
What goes in your body shows up in your hair. A healthy diet = stronger, shinier strands.
🥗 Stylist tip: Load up on protein, healthy fats, and vitamins like Biotin, Omega-3s, and Zinc. And don’t forget to drink your water – your hair (and skin) will thank you.
