We all know what it’s like to have holiday hair and wish we had a solution! We recently tried a selection of protective products from new hair brand Neal & Wolf and were delighted with the results. Neal & Wolf has been developed to give women the answer to all their hair indulgence dreams, and crucially for the holiday season, all products in the range also provide protection from the sun.

Combining pure luxury with ultimate results, Neal & Wolf marries opulence and science, resulting in a range of decadent shampoos and conditioners and essential styling products that give you an extravagant experience every day…including every day of your holiday.

Allowing you to wash and style your hair when you’re away, just as you would at home, without worrying about sun damage, each of Neal & Wolf’s 10 luxurious products feature added sunscreens to ensure your precious locks are protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

What’s more, Neal & Wolf knows indulgence means amazing smelling hair, which is why it commissioned the perfume house that is responsible for some of the world’s most famous scents to come up with its stunning fragrance. Essence of white thyme and saffron combined with a blast of mandarin and a base of sweet vanilla and palisander wood results in a creamy, floral composition that is sure to turn heads.
