At The Insiders, our highlight of the month is definitely Valentine’s Day, a day where we celebrate love in every possible form. Of course, we want to look our best on this special day. Whether it’s for our partner, our loved one or just for ourselves. Although we all look forward to the day of love, the beginning of the year can be a bit stressful. You’re back at work, everyone is trying to achieve that one New Year’s resolution and everything just feels a bit rushed. Let’s not get carried away, but focus on achieving and maintaining the Happy Hair Feeling that we started last month. Because remember; happy hair equals a happy you and a happy you is what self-love is all about!
SELF LOVE
Speaking of which, self-love is the ultimate state of appreciating yourself. This form of love is developed by actively taking steps toward both your physical and mental health and overall well-being. While self-love looks different for everyone, we can all agree that treating yourself to a new beauty routine, such as a hair care routine, is the ultimate form of self-love.
DISCOVER CNTRL
At The Insiders, we know that short hair needs special attention. It needs to be shaped and tamed in the right way, and sometimes you need to show who’s boss. The CNTRL collection by The Insiders keeps short hair in place and tames unruly locks, without making them hard, tacky or sticky . This also makes the CNTRL collection very popular among our male Hair Lovers. The unique formulas contain natural ingredients such as argan oil, beeswax and vanilla oil to improve the quality of the hair and scalp.
The key ingredients that make the CNTRL collection so great for the hair are bamboo extract, tea tree oil, vitamin E oil and wheat seed oil .
Bamboo extract has soothing properties for your scalp, improves blood circulation, strengthens your hair follicles and promotes thick and healthy hair growth.
Tea tree oil soothes the scalp, reduces dandruff and minimizes excess oil production. It also balances the pH of your scalp, which stimulates the hair growth cycle. The natural antioxidant properties of vitamin E oil support a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.
Finally, wheat seed oil promotes healthy hair growth while restoring moisture to your hair, leaving it soft and touchable. Discover The Insiders CNTRL collection here.

NO HAIR- OR HEARTBREAKS
As you may already know, The Insiders puts hair health first. To achieve the ultimate The Insiders Valentine’s look, it’s important to take good care of your gorgeous locks and avoid things like heat damage. So don’t forget to always use a heat protectant when using a straightener, curling iron or blow dryer. That way, you can ensure that you maintain a happy and healthy head of hair. Our founder and internationally awarded hairstylist Andy Uffels recommends The Insiders RESCUE My Hero Wonder Spray as the ideal heat protectant .

Some days our hair needs a little extra love and care. After all that Valentine’s Day styling, it’s a good idea to incorporate a nourishing hair mask into your routine, especially if you want to deeply hydrate and nourish your hair .
