Hair Type: Dry and Frizzy 

Know someone who loves a good Heat Styling session, but can’t get past a few hours without their style hitting the frizz zone? This could be because they have damaged hair or dry hair types. Causes of damaged hair include environmental factors including sun, winds, salt-water, and chlorine, plus Heat Styling damage. Both alter and ‘open up’ the hair cuticle resulting in a lack of smoothness, frizz, and tangles. 

The Gift Goal: 

Look for a Gift Pack for damaged hair that is nourishing, hydrating, and moisturising. Products such as Shampoo, Conditioner, Styling Products and even Hair Styling Tools can be formulated to really deliver nourishment to dry hair, so a Gift Pack including some of these is ideal. Look for products that contain smoothing formulations and Australian botanicals to prevent future frizziness for dry-prone hair types. 

#1 Gift idea for Dry, Frizzy Hair Types: 

Like a Spa treatment for your hair, JUUCE Miracle Smooth Trio delivers a divine dose of cruelty-free, hydrating shine and smoothness to damaged, frizzy hair. Designed to treat frizz, humidity and heat damage, this trio is specifically formulated with soothing Quandong, smoothing Dessert Lime, repairing Wattle Seed, colour-extending Kakadu Plum, conditioning Aloe Vera and protecting Dandelion to condition unruly, coarse, and dry hair types. Hydration is kicked into high gear and nourishment is infused into frizzy, dry hair.

Hair type: Dandruff-Prone and Scalp Sensitivity 

Healthy hair is not a superficial problem, it starts at the scalp, so if dandruff, scalp irritation and dry, flaky skin is a problem for a loved one, then give them the gift of hair health, from root to tip. Scalp Care doesn’t have to be an off-limits topic, and in fact, Scalp Care has come out of the shadows in 2024 and is the new buzz term of hair and beauty, so a gift idea that solves this hair problem will be warmly received. 

The Gift Goal: 

Scalp irritation can be caused by build-up of hidden nasties in Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Styling products plus changes in seasons, so ensure you go for a gift set that is 100% vegan, sulphate, and paraben free to prevent any irritation and provide calm to the area. Also look for anti-inflammatory ingredients that are nourishing and can adequately cleanse dry skin and product residue from the scalp area. 

#1 Gift idea for Dandruff and Scalp Care: 

Maria Nila Beauty Box Head & Hair Heal Trio ticks all the boxes when it comes to natural Scalp Care and complete hair nourishment. Specifically formulated to promote healthy hair growth, soothe irritated scalps, and prevent dandruff, the trio provides a holistic approach with the Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Mask all entirely silicone, sulphate, and paraben free. The products are also formulated to stimulate healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss.

Hair Type: Curly Hair

Curly hair is a hair type that requires consistent, focused Haircare as there are several things to target. Sometimes curls are inconsistent, so definition needs to be nurtured, in other curly hair types, frizz can occur as it is a vulnerable hair type prone to environmental damage. For curly hair types that are regularly put under heat styling duress, condition needs to be restored through specific Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Conditioner Treatments. 

The Gift Goal: 

Curls love moisture and hydration, but can also be weighed down by heavy formulations, so the perfect Haircare for curly hair is lightweight and easily absorbs so that curls don’t go dry and frizzy during the day. A complete routine Gift Pack is an indulgent option for those with curls that need to be calmed, nourished, and cared for. 

#1 Gift idea for Curly Hair Types: 

When it comes to Haircare, Kérastase do everything well. The Kérastase Curl Manifesto Holiday Coffret includes Curly Hair Shampoo, Curly Hair Conditioner, and an anti-frizz Curly Hair Cream. With each step, curls are nourished and hydrated with lightweight formulations designed to enhance curl structure, vitality, and condition. The cuticle is smoothed and protected from humidity and frizz, detangling, strengthening, and protecting curls from Heat Styling up to 230°C.

Hair Type: Split Ends and Damage

Split ends and damaged hair are caused by a general lack of moisture in the hair shaft. Moisture is so important, from root to tip, to ensure all hair types remain nourished and in good condition, which in turn keeps hair looking shiny and glossy. So, what causes split ends and damaged hair? Heat Styling, chemical treatments, environmental damage, and over-washing (or shampooing and conditioning using the wrong products!) are the main culprits. A loss of Keratin proteins also causes hair frailty that can split and lead to breakage. 

The Gift Goal: 

So, if you have a friend who works outside, swims a lot or Heat Styles on high-rotation, indulge them in a moisture-rich Gift Set! You really want to look for an efficacious Gift Pack that treats hair harm from the inside, out. Look for best-selling brands that target dry hair, damaged hair, and frizz-prone hair with natural ingredients and gentle - yet advanced - formulations. 

#1 Gift idea for Split Ends and Damage

The Bondi Boost Bond Bounce Back Repairing Trio Set is a super cute gift idea that combines incredibly conditioning and comprehensive products within a gorgeous cosmetic bag with a comb as well. Designed to deliver deep restoration to damaged hair, the kit includes Rapid Repair Bond Builder+ Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-in Mask, each formulated to restore weakened hair bonds and create resilience in the hair. This gift pack promises to reverse 85% of one years’ worth of damage after one use and improve split ends by 98% after a single use!

Hair Type: Fine and Flat 

We all know someone who is constantly wrangling with flat hair. But the quest for volume comes well before the Styling steps. The right Volumising Shampoo, Conditioner and lightweight prep products are the key to ensuring hair remains full and voluminous. Fine, straight hair can fall flatter than most other hair types, but an overuse of products that build up at the scalp can also weigh down styles at the follicle, making it harder to gain volume and height in that area. Other causes can be hormones and over-heat styling, whereby hair becomes fragile and weak at the roots. 


The Gift Goal:  

Giving the gift of full, lush hair is a win for any friend seeking a new breath of life into their summer styles. Because the causes of flat, lifeless hair can begin at the roots, a gift idea that focuses on Scalp Care is a great idea. One that is vegan, natural, and free of any inflammatory ingredients is also key to ensuring Hair Health is at a premium from root to tip. As chemical treatments and colour can also affect the volume of hair, go for a Gift Pack that is colour-safe also. 

The #1 Gift Idea for Fine, Flat Hair Types: 

Davroe Volume Senses Trio leads the pack when it comes to targeting maximum volume and moisture in flat hair types. Containing a gentle, colour-safe Shampoo and Conditioner containing Rice & Quinoa Proteins to strengthen your hair and repair it while giving it amplified body and shine, the gift box delivers bounce and thickness to lacklustre lengths. Thermaprotect rounds out the Gift Pack Trio by offering complete protection against heat damage which can deplete the hair. 100% Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Australian-made and owned plus Sulphate and Paraben Free, this best-selling Gift Pack is sure to bring the joy this season!
