Celebrated best-in-test hair products

Award-winning haircare: the formulas the juries chose

Some formulas earn their place quietly. They become the bottle you reach for without thinking, the step that lets the rest of the ritual fall into place.

Eight of ours have also been chosen by beauty juries — at the Swedish Beauty Awards, Beauty Oscar and ELLE. Here they are, gathered by what your hair needs, so you can find the one that is right for you.

Best leave-in: Smoothing Silk Coat

Smoothing Silk Coat has been recognised twice: Best Leave-in of the Year at Beauty Oscar, and Best Styling Product of the Year at the Swedish Beauty Awards.

It is a hybrid that works in the moment and over time. Broccoli oil and shea butter bring moisture and shine, while vitamin F supports the hair's elasticity. The cuticle lies smooth, light reflects, and hair falls the way it should. The Swedish Beauty Awards jury described a finish that never raises its voice, yet never goes unnoticed.

Best everyday foundation: BB Spray – Leave-In Primer

BB Spray – Leave-In Primer belongs to the range named Hair Care Series of the Year at the Swedish Beauty Awards.

Think of it as the first layer of every style. Vegetable proteins, ceramides and amino acids strengthen and moisturise, grape seed extract adds heat protection, and sunflower seed extract helps protect colour. Spray it through damp hair, then blow-dry or simply let it be. Suitable for every hair type.

Best conditioner for volume: Conditioner Volumising & Thickening

Conditioner Volumising & Thickening won Best Conditioner for Volume at the Swedish Beauty Awards.

Light enough for fine hair, rich enough to care. Proteins and amino acids from soy, rice and wheat give strength and lift, while watercress extract helps neutralise free radicals. The result is hair that feels fuller and moves with ease. Made for normal to fine hair.

Best for shine: Gloss Spray

Gloss Spray was named Swedish Hair Product of the Year at the Swedish Beauty Awards. The jury noted its weightless shine and its value.

Mist it over a finished style, or onto damp hair before blow-drying. It also brings softness and shine when you use a flat iron or curling tongs — and works on arms, legs and décolletage when you want a little light on the skin.

Best hair oil for dry hair and scalp: Rich Repair Hair Oil

Rich Repair Hair Oil won Best Hair Care Product at ELLE, where the jury called it first aid for a tired scalp and dry hair.

It is rich in vitamins from organic oils, and free from silicones and parabens. Start with two to five drops, warmed between your palms. Use it before shampooing, on damp hair after washing, or leave it overnight as a slow treatment.

Best saltwater spray: Saltwater Spray

Saltwater Spray won Best Saltwater Spray at ELLE.

Texture and hold that last, with care built in: broccoli seed oil, UV protection and heat protection for blow-drying. Spray onto damp or dry hair, then diffuse or let it dry in the air. Effortless beach texture, without the beach.

Best dry shampoo for volume: Dryclean

Dryclean won Best Styling Product at the Swedish Beauty Awards.

It refreshes the roots and adds lift and hold when time is short. Shake, spray onto dry roots from about 15 cm, then work it in with your fingertips or a brush.

Best dry shampoo for dark hair: Dryclean Brown

Dryclean Brown was named best for dark hair by ELLE Denmark.

Developed for darker shades, it leaves no white residue. It blends into the hair, so roots look fresh and less oily rather than dusted.
