DESIGNME Haircare Duo

Why You Need This Haircare Duo   



PUFF.ME Volumizing Treatment Whip  

This whipped scalp treatment is everything your winter hair needs. It plumps and volumizes from roots to ends and features a lightweight formula that's loaded with superstar ingredients, including:

  • Vegan Hyaluronic Acid: With the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid helps plump individual hair strands, making them appear thicker and fuller. This results in added volume, especially for fine or thin hair.  
  • Rosemary Extract: This ingredient helps boost scalp circulation, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth and preventing those annoying flakes.  
  • Bamboo Extract: Rich in silica, bamboo extract helps strengthen hair, making it more resilient against winter breakage and split ends while boosting elasticity.   

GLOSS.ME Hydrating Treatment Mask  

Winter weather can take a toll on your hair, but this luxurious treatment mask can help restore smoothness, shine, and moisture to even the most parched strands. Hero ingredients in this formula include:

  • Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil: The ultimate hydrator, this oil deeply conditions while locking in moisture for silky-smooth, frizz-free hair. Fatty acids work overtime to help repair damage, making this ingredient a must-have for combating winter dryness.  
    Moringa Seed Oil: Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, moringa seed oil helps to strengthen and nourish the hair while adding shine. It also helps protect against environmental damage, making your hair more resilient during harsh weather conditions.
  • Argan Oil: Known as “liquid gold,” argan oil is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamin E. It helps to repair and restore dry, damaged hair while enhancing smoothness, shine, and elasticity.  
  • Hydrolyzed Soy Protein: This plant-derived protein penetrates the hair shaft, helping to rebuild and strengthen the hair from within. It improves hair texture, increases moisture retention, and helps reduce breakage—perfect for winter when hair may be more prone to damage.

Leave the treatments on for 3-5 minutes to let the nourishing ingredients soak in.
