Big hair, big mood. The equivalent to shoulder pads in the 80s, it's totally a power move. We’ve just seen BIG cloudy curls strut down runways at Tom Ford paired with sultry (mascara-less) eye makeup and flashy jewels – was it a sign? Yes, in our eyes anyway.
Let's exaggerate curls, embrace waves and breathe life into flat hair. Got voluminous curls? Define, Define, Define! Got thick waves? Smooth and move. Got fine hair? Let’s plump it up. It’s the summer of billowing curls and vivacious waves.
We can’t reinvent the wheel but we can bring big, voluminous hair back from the 80s, in an even cooler way.

Going somewhere? Sphaera has created the perfect travel companions for when you need a deep cleanse and extra scalp support while you're on the move. There's no need to worry about your shampoo leaking through your bag OR having lifeless hair when you need it most.

A no-fuss regimen on the run:
- Soak hair and glide the wet shampoo bar from the hairline to the nape several times. Use water to build lather, working gently into the scalp and down the hair lengths. Rinse well.
- Following shampoo, glide the wet conditioning bar over the hair lengths. Comb fingers through till the hair feels silky, then squeeze gently, pressing the conditioner on. Leave a couple of mins, then rinse well.
- Style your hair as usual.
