One of the most beautiful blondes in the world, Claudia Schiffer represents the Colour Protect system, with it's patented UV filter that protects hair and prolongs colour.

Smooth Intense is what Eva Longoria uses to smooth and style her hair frizz by using the technical innovation fo silk protein and Argan oil (one of the richest oils in unsaturated fatty acids).

Penelope Cruz uses Re-Nutrition which contains Royal Jelly to replenish dry hair, so if it is good enough for that Queen Bee.

Nutri-Gloss uses Pearl Protein to sooth the hair fibre cuticles to result in shiny lustrous hair such as that of Freida Pinto.

Each of these ranges are available from supermarkets, pharmacies, department stores, Farmers, K.Mart and The Warehouse, with suggested retail prices starting from as little as $6.49 for the shampoo.
