Over a fabulous lunch at Carnegie Hall in June, KLORANE unveiled their first ever anti-aging haircare to New York’s most elite beauty editors (Bart wuz there). No longer exclusive to industry insiders, the new Shampoo and Leave-In Concentrate with Essential Olive Extract launched this month and if your fine hair is beginning to look a bit limp, this latest range is exactly what you need.
Infused with the treatment water that remains after the oil is extracted from an olive fruit, KLORANE utilizes this natural compound with reconstructing benefits in its new duo. A symbol of peace, prosperity, and renewal, the olive tree has been celebrated since the days of ancient Greece and while mythology is one thing, the fact that hair starts losing density and shine after we turn 35 is no myth. Some like to emphasize that hair is dead anyway but why would anyone want it to look that way? P.S. The follicle is very much alive FYI.
The only game in town, Klorane Institute sources the most potent and nutritional fruit called Koroneiki olive from the Peloponnese region of Greece. Revitalizing and rejuvenating, this olive is particularly nourishing and especially rich in antioxidants. Exclusive to the KLORANE brand, the patented Essential Olive Extract protects against environmental aggressors, restores sheen, and replenishes lipid loss for healthy, vibrant and thicker looking hair. Enriched with hydrating and soothing botanicals, this proprietary blend comforts as it cleanses, making it perfect even for those with sensitive scalp issues.
The KLORANE Shampoo with Essential Olive Extract has a slightly thinner consistency than most formulas offered by this French haircare brand. It lathers beautifully as it gently removes product buildup, oil, and pollutants and it never strips nor over-dries the scalp. The sweet green aroma hinges on olive and grass, and adds on to the salon experience each time I shower. Immediately after rinsing, you will notice a dense, soft feeling to your hair…definitely clean.
Towel dry your hair, grab the KLORANE Leave-In Concentrate with Essential Olive Extract, and spritz generously while still damp. The precision applicator nozzle makes it super easy to begin at the top. It’s important to take a few minutes to massage this concentrate into the scalp. There is no need to rinse because, you know, leave-in. You will be amazed how easy it is to achieve your desired style and because of the increase in volume and thickness, the final result lasts significantly longer.
If your hair is looking drab and could, literally, use a boost, the new KLORANE additions are a great way to extend the olive branch to a fresh start. While nothing will replace my French pharmacy favorites from the Dessert Date and Mango Butter collections, the new treatments featuring Essential Oil Extract are a great choice for thinning hair. Luckily, that’s not my number one concern but I am loving this pairing for the scent alone – so European chic.
Shampoo $15 (200ml), Leave-In Concentrate $18 (125ml) – available at kloraneusa.com.
