What's my hair personality? Your results
Count your answers. The letter you picked most is your hair personality. A tie? You are a mix of both, so borrow from each routine.
Mostly A: The Beach Babe
- Your routine: Sun & More shampoo and incredible milk from milk_shake, the BEAMARRY Heat & Sun Protection Spray and the BEAMARRY Coconut Milk Leave-in Spray.
- Pro tip: Mist on a heat and sun spray before you head out, and rinse your hair with fresh water after the sea or the pool.
Mostly B: The Platinum Icon
- Your routine: milk_shake icy blond and silver shine, BEAMARRY Lavender Biotin Purple Shampoo and the Nouvelle Yellow Killer Mask.
- Pro tip: Use toning products once or twice a week, not every wash, and alternate with a nourishing shampoo. Our Myth busters blog explains why.
Mostly C: The Colour Rebel
- Your routine: Nouvelle Paint Bang direct colours like Pink Planet and Neptune, Rev Up colour masks and the Color Glow Colour Maintenance Mask.
- Pro tip: Paint Bang needs no developer and works best on pre-lightened hair. Mix shades or add Moon Diluter for pastels.
Mostly D: The Wash-and-Go Legend
- Your routine: GoCare Sulphate-Free Shampoo, the GoCare One Minute Treatment, the Vitamin Repair Spray and milk_shake dry shampoo.
- Pro tip: The One Minute Treatment works in just 60 seconds, so even the busiest mornings get a treatment.
Mostly E: The Curl Crusader
- Your routine: milk_shake curl passion shampoo, leave in spray and curl perfectionist, plus BEAMARRY Shea Butter Jojoba Hydrate for extra moisture.
- Pro tip: Apply styling products to soaking wet hair, scrunch, then diffuse or air-dry without touching.
Mostly F: The Sleek Stylist
- Your routine: milk_shake thermo protector and incredible milk, the Argan 11 in 1 Treatment Spray and pure Argan Oil to finish.
- Pro tip: Use heat protection every time you heat-style, not just with the straightener, and finish with two drops of argan oil on the ends.
