According to research, the average British woman will spend the equivalent of 26 years of her life experiencing the dreaded bad hair day. Yes, you read that correctly; 26 years! And more than one in ten of us admit to being late for work because of this very issue. More often than not, the reason your mane just isn’t playing the game is because your tresses aren’t in the tip-top condition they could be.

A 2021 study showed that dandruff is the most common hair problem in the UK, followed by dry hair, hair not growing, greasy hair, frizzy hair, split ends, a sensitive scalp, and dull hair. A further poll revealed that a staggering 94% of women are worried about hair loss. But which products should you be using if you want to look after your locks and achieve healthier hair? Keep reading for the FTF team's favourite haircare picks to make your tresses shine brighter.
